God Makes the Rivers To Flow: Sacred Literature of the World

Now available as a revised 3rd edition, direct from Amazon. Chosen for their universal spiritual appeal, literary merit, and recognized wisdom, these selections are perfect subjects for meditation and daily inspirational reading. Drawing from Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, and Native American sacred literature, this expanded third edition serves as a useful reference and guide to world mysticism. Included are Easwaran's criteria for choosing personally transformative passages, tips on memorization, and suggestions for further reading.

These pieces are positive, practical, powerful. They have been chosen not only for their universal appeal and literary beauty, but for the light they throw on how to live. They tell us truths we know, but may want to be reminded of often: that life has a purpose, in which each person has a meaningful part; that all creation is one and full of divinity; that every moment is precious, and what gives life meaning is love and human relationships. Brief instructions in the author's method of meditation are included, making it easy to see for oneself the power these passages have for transforming daily life. 208 pages.
