Shafts of Light by Swami Ashokananda
Rating: 5/5
Writing Style: A collection of powerful quotes.
Summary:
Disciples of Swami Ashokananda collected his quotes over the years, and then organized them into one book. Very much appreciated by people unable to attend, like myself, since I was not born yet.
Comments:
The quotes are great. After a book of this quality I am interested in researching more Vedanta. But note that it is a book of pure quotes, no stories or teaching lessons at all. Only quotes. Like these…
‘Everything you do leaves a mark on your mind’
‘If the mind is gloomy why are you gloomy?’
‘The whole world is like Alice in Wonderland, a madhouse. As long as you see everything slide by in reasonable sequence, one thing firmly tied to another, you are a bound person. When you realize there is no sequence, no congruity, you are free.’
