| About the Book
"The journey is long, the search is always within, and the canalizing of thought is always in one direction - toward unity. On the sense level, we may find a moment of unity, but again there is separation. We unite with something, but find that after some time it does not respond -- or maybe it is we who do not respond because we do not find it interesting enough… Our mind keeps shifting, looking and searching for response, and the search must always be within. We are searching for a level where we will be true to ourselves, where we will be true to an inner desire for freedom, for rest, for peace, and for unity."
-Pravrajika Vivekaprana
Pravravrajika Vivekaprana exemplifies spiritual strength, a strength
which is coupled with sincere humility. Her straightforward
presentation of Vedanta (the universal principles underlying all
religions as discovered in ancient India) and its relationship to
human experience offers a way of understanding the practical steps
one needs to take on the path to Self-realization. The lectures in
this volume build upon the premise that the ancient principles of
Vedanta form a necessary and viable approach to contemporary life.
Viewing the mind as an instrument that can and ought to be brought
under our control, the author explores the steps through which we can
achieve that control. Her lectures invite each of us to actively take
up this challenge, the mastery of which is deemed to be our human birthright.
