The core of their most important teachings-along with annotations from expert scholars and introductions from Andrew Harvey, one of the great spiritual thinkers of our time-now are all in one beautiful volume. A Walk with Four Spiritual Guides contains selections from four classic texts: Bhagavad Gita (Krishna) · Dhammapada (Buddha) · The Gospel of Thomas (Jesus) · Selections from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (Ramakrishna). The selections focus on the inspiring themes of devotion and selfless action; serenity and the mind; mysticism and the individual's search for answers; and the direct path to the Divine.
