The meaning of Karma stands distorted by centuries of misplaced fictionalization. Karma remains a disquieting enigma to the few who refuse to accept compromised notions. This book is for them.
If to live rightly is to act rightly, what then is right action? This has tormented us since ages. The scriptures answer this, but without stooping from their cryptic heights. Nor do they advise how their ancient words apply to the present. Acharya Prashant's work provides the missing link. He imparts clarity, leaving nothing to conjecture or belief.
The book demolishes the myths surrounding action and decision by bringing to focus the actor, rather than action. When we ask, 'What to do?', the book handholds us into 'Who is the doer? What does he want from the deed?' This shift provides the solutions, and finally the dissolution of the question.
Acharya Prashant demolishes ubiquitous beliefs and outdated notions to reveal some simple truths. If you can challenge the tyrannies of tradition and greet the naked truth, you will love this book.
Acharya Prashant is an emerging champion of socio-spiritual awakening in the world today. An alumnus of IIT-Delhi and IIM-Ahmedabad and a former Civil Services officer, Acharya Prashant is an acclaimed Vedanta Philosopher. Apart from that he wears various hats: a science activist, a campaigner against superstition, a veganism promoter, an environmental activist and a champion of essential human freedom.
Acharya Prashant's unique spiritual literature is at par with the highest words mankind has ever known. His talks make the world's largest online repository of wisdom content which is cherished by millions of followers across social media. A renowned speaker admired for his scientific and iconoclastic approach to spirituality, Acharya Prashant regularly speaks at TEDx, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIM Ahmedabad, Delhi University and other prominent institutions.
Through his words, Acharya Prashant attacks the mind vigorously, and simultaneously becalms it with love and compassion. His style is forthright, clear, mystical and compassionate. He plays with his audiences - taking them to the very depths of meditative silence, laughing, joking, attacking, explaining. On one hand, he sounds straightforward and practical, and on the other hand, it is obvious that these words coming through him are from a realization beyond the common.
