Easwaran shows how we can apply the teachings of four great mystics to daily living.
Easwaran is one of the twentieth century's great spiritual teachers and an authentic guide to timeless wisdom. His books on meditation, spiritual living, and the classics of world mysticism have been translated into sixteen languages.
Is it possible for ordinary people like ourselves to be kind, patient, and loving – always? Easwaran comments on short texts from Saint Paul, Mother Teresa, Saint Augustine, and Saint Francis to show how we can apply the teachings of these great mystics to daily living. Chapter introductions provide insights into these mystics' lives.
Easwaran explains how the practice of meditation can help us find the strength and compassion we need at any time, even when we are tired, frustrated, or filled with doubt.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Easwaran's understanding and appreciation for Christian mysticism began early, from the influence and personal example of the priest who was the principal of the Catholic college he attended. "Father John was a true Christian. He taught me more about Christianity than all the books I have read." The words and lives of Christian mystics interweave through all his teaching. Easwaran has lectured and taught meditation in North America since 1959, and has written more than twenty books on meditation and practical spiritual living.
This book shows how we can stretch our capacity to love - stretch it beyond anything we can imagine. To love more, we need the desire to love more. We need to slow down - not to do less, but to relax the frantic pace of thinking that leaves so little room for what is worthwhile. We need ways to reorder our priorities. We need time - time for others. And we need some way of renewing ourselves, day in and day out. Eknath Easwaran describes specific methods of meditation and prayer which we can use to tap our inner strength at any time, even when we are frustrated, angry, or sapped by doubt. Introductions to each section give glimpses into the lives and teachings of these saints.
