We can describe colour to him and he will understand and know it intellectually, as a mental concept. But what it really is as an experiential experience, he will only know after eyesight has been given to him. Or, say we have a glass of water in front of us. The water exists as it is; waterness is its nature. Speaking of it, is water in terms of the mind. Such water is a concept. The word water is not water. No matter how detailed we describe it-even if it is described by 100 Einsteins-such a description will never be what water really is. We have the triad: the subject (the seer), the object (water) and the process of perceiving water. We can know water only when we drink it, shower with it, etc. That knowing then is a direct existential experience. That knowing is drinking is quenching thirst, therefore, is blissful. The three-fold aspects knowing, drinking and being blissful are one in the event called drinking. It is an impersonal event that occurs as part of the functioning of Totality. It is not an act of an individual "me" embodied in a body-mind organism with the sense of personal volitiona and doership. While drinking, the triad drinker, water, and the process of drinking is dissolved. Drinking occurs as one impersonal event, comprising the drinker, the water and the process of drinking. In this case drinking is the impersonal "What-is." The actual drinking of water is not a concept. At the moment of drinking there is no individual, separate "me"-entity, a drinker drinking water. The "me" comes in afterwards as a further, additional "me"-thought as in "’I’-drank water. ‘I’ experienced drinking water." The fact is, while drinking water happened there was no "me." A body-mind organism was drinking water as part of the functioning of Totality. When we inquire closely, we find that such a "me"-entity does not exist, except as a thought, as a notion, as a concept.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If readers are searching for happiness, then the pointers in this book will certainly show the way home. If readers have been longing to know the nature of true peace, then these profound yet spirited talks between Bernard Harmand and his inquirers may leave readers with a radically different sense of who they are and what is the true nature of happiness. The desire to be happy represents the fundamental drive in people, and its search pushes us to seek an elusive goal, either through the senses or through religious belief. Bernard is quick to point out the great paradox at the heart of this search: that our very nature our true being is the very happiness people so desperately seek. He says that everyone is like a person who searches for a missing necklace that has always been around his or her own neck. Throughout The Search for Happiness, the fundamental questions posed by sincere seekers of truth are refreshingly explored. and the answers never get in the reader's way. No dogma or belief here, just a loving presence who guides without guiding and speaks to the heart without relying on words. Bernard's message is clear: We only need to realize that we have never left the source of abiding peace and happiness, even though it may appear otherwise.These dialogues and letters cover much ground in just a few pages, and solid pointers are provided to help reach the precipice of that Love which consumes all in its path. And Bernard is always right there, reminding us to realize that we are now, and always have been, the eternal happiness that is our true self.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of the 'U.S. Declaration of Independence' declared that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain rights, including Pursuit of Happiness. However, they gave no hints as to where this elusive happiness might be found. Over 3,000 years earlier in the serene atmosphere of the Himalayan ranges, the sages of Veda period drew the same conclusion and proceeded to investigate into the nature of happiness. They wanted to know where happiness was located and how to find it. In their careful observations they noted three facts: Man's search for happiness is a universal tendency. Everyone is searching for lasting happiness in a world of change. Permanent happiness must be independent of a changing environment. Arriving at these conclusions, the sages turned their enquiry inward to discover a substratum of permanence on which the changing phenomena rose and fell. In the short essays in Pursuit of Happiness, Swami Chinmayananda lucidly communicates the conclusions drawn by these subjective scientists who realised their own divine nature and proposed a way of life so that others might follow on the inner journey to the true source of happiness. Hailed as the second Swami Vivekananda, Swami Chinmayananda (1916-1993) has left a great legacy behind for mankind. On realising the true purpose of life he worked tirelessly and with tremendous energy for more than four decades to spread the message of Vedanta. A great orator, writer, leader, patriot and spiritual giant, he is one of the finest representatives of Indian spiritual heritage. The sprawling worldwide organisation of Chimaya Mission carries on the torch lit by this great saint.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How may we find happiness and peace? In this book, Rupert Spira distills the message of all the great religious and spiritual traditions into two essential truths: happiness is the very nature of our self or being, and we share our being with everyone and everything. Drawing on numerous examples from his own experience, Spira demonstrates that to seek lasting happiness through objects, situations and relationships is destined for failure and disappointment, and skillfully guides the reader to recognize that we are already the happiness we seek. This book is for anyone who yearns for lasting happiness and is open to the possibility that it is continuously available within ourselves, irrespective of our circumstances. Could there be any greater discovery in life than to know that we are already that for which we long?

Book excerpt: You think the proposition is preposterous, don't you? You have always believed that enlightenment would get you lasting happiness, even bliss. In fact, you have believed that a prerequisite for "getting" Enlightenment was shunning happiness, maybe even embracing pain. If that is so, welcome to a refreshingly new understanding.What Pursue Happiness And Get Enlightened does is to turn the whole subject of enlightenment or self-realization on its head. Ramesh Balsekar, articulate sage, leading teacher of Advaita Vedanta and author of over 30 well-known books, leads you step by interesting step to the understanding of the intimate relationship between Happiness and Enlightenment.He makes it clear that although uncertainty is the basis of daily living - no one can know whether the next moment will bring pleasure or pain - total free will to do whatever one feels like doing in any situation is as much our birthright as the ultimate happiness in life. The key is to understand what true happiness is. Ever since the newborn baby intuitively seeks its mother's breast, the whole purpose of life is to seek happiness, not enlightenment because enlightenment has never been a certified event.Pursue Happiness And Get Enlightened speaks with authority because it is not based on hearsay but personal experience endowed by God's Grace.Traditional seekers, crystallised into set concepts, may not find it easy to accept this book, but followers of true masters like Ramana Maharshi will welcome its wisdom like manna from heaven.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contemporary experience of the natural sciences envisages a very substantive and constructive interaction between science and theology. In tune with the global momentum of the science-theology interface, this book attempts to spell out some of the theological implications of the sweeping changes on the scientific scenario, revisioning several perennial theological themata, in physical, biological and cosmological categories. How to interpret the profound insights of the Christian revelation in a worldview that is almost imperialistically dominated by science? In a scientific culture, how do we still meaningfully talk of the Biblical conception of God creating the world? What are the natural, cosmic and secular implications of the summit points of Christian revelation like the Holy Trinity, the Incarnation, Eschatology, etc.? What are the scientific nuances of the theological vision of the human nature as imago Dei? These are some the questions addressed in the book.

Book excerpt: Seek the seeker instead of enlightenment. Once you find the seeker, enlightenment is already there. This book isn't about enlightenment, but about you, the seeker. To Kiran Baba when people come to India seeking a spiritual life, or enlightenment, as it is better known among seekers, they come with many misunderstandings and misconceptions about life itself. These misunderstandings and misconceptions if not properly understood can lead people to much more misunderstandings and confusion, and even make them prone to get easily caught in what Kiran Baba calls “The Holy Business,” which seems to be an increasing factor in India, due to the number of foreigners who are heading to the Country every year in search of spiritual guidance. In his discourses Kiran Baba shares with his friends - the seekers - his understanding about life; how it naturally functions. He speaks about the many misunderstandings that one has while entering into the spiritual life. He warn us about the so many games we can fall for in name of enlightenment. He clarifies the most important concepts related to the nature of the mind and the ego, how they function and how they are naturally required by life. He invite us to have our own understanding about what we believe we are missing in our lives and start realizing each of us as an unique divine creation. And if you are available, his discourses can also give you some clues where you can connect to life again, but this time having your own understanding that it is possible to relax and celebrate life in whatever situation it is bringing to you. You will understand that life cannot be a misery; life cannot be suffering. Life when deeply understood is just a play and it is absolutely beautiful.
