In Quest of the Deeper Self
A Joyous Adventure
We are all on a sacred journey of life. Appreciation
of its beauty becomes a natural
consequence to the dive towards the Deeper Self in us. This book deals with both the
esoteric and practical aspects of our
venerable journey. It comes up with
pensive
pointers for reflection and self-awareness.
Human beings are externalized – hooked on to the outer aspects of life such as material
possessions, fame, identification with a nation, race or the like, and so on. This is creating
a lot of
unhappiness to the individual and, therefore, to humanity as a whole. Those who
realize this begin to turn inward
and apply themselves to ‘Athma Vichara’ – the Soul
Search. “In Quest of the Deeper Self” functions as a wayside companion to them.
The noisy mind
and its obstruction to the inner dive are brought out clearly. Movement
towards the inner silence is portrayed as the essential feature in the quest for the Deeper
Self. In the process of this movement, a pervasive background serenity is discovered. To
lead one’s daily life from that serenity somehow makes it all very meaningful. A number of
cryptic paradigms are given
to highlight the key aspects of the inward journey. Personal
and planetary transformations are looked into as also the deceptive pursuit of individual
salvation.
While presenting
issues for serious reflection, this book puts forth a rather uncommon
pointer that frivolity and light-hearted attitudes play a healthy role in the movement
towards the Deeper Self. Such legendary figures as Sherlock Holmes and Tarzan too
perform their little dances in this
presentation.
Enjoy the book and the journey towards the Self!
