Download or read book From Despair to Joy written by Dr.A.P.Sharma and published by Pustak Mahal. This book was released on 2000-10 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If happiness were a myth, the Buddha would never be able to accomplish it. Neither Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, Gandhi and others, who followed the road to impersonal love, would ever have got it. True, the path leading to impersonal love is certainly difficult, but nothing can be achieved without following the right path and the right means. Happiness can be attained if one can cultivate silence of the mind. That silence can be attained by proper awareness. It can be reached by keeping the mind totally alert so that it acts like an observer who works without interfering with others. Happiness can surely be obtained by: Keeping the mind's energy intact, without wasting it in insignificant matters. Attaining higher consciousness by meditation and prayers or by any informal procedure too, provided one is able to keep one's mind alert and free from mental fetters. Understanding and practising unselfish love. Learning the importance of sacrifice and selflessness.

Download or read book The Book of More Delights written by Ross Gay and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author of The Book of Delights and award-winning poet, a book of lyrical mini-essays celebrating the everyday that will inspire readers to rediscover the joys in the world around us. In Ross Gay’s new collection of small, daily wonders, again written over the course of a year, one of America’s most original voices continues his ongoing investigation of delight. For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning, from the joy of hearing a nostalgic song blasting from a passing car to the pleasure of refusing the “nefarious” scannable QR code menus, from the tiny dog he fell hard for to his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren. As always, Gay revels in the natural world—sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbor’s fig tree—and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us. The Book of (More) Delights is a volume to savor and share.

Download or read book The Duty of Delight written by Dorothy Day and published by Image. This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost fifty years, through her tireless service to the poor and her courageous witness for peace, Dorothy Day offered an example of the gospel in action. Now the publication of her diaries, previously sealed for twenty-five years after her death, offers a uniquely intimate portrait of her struggles and concerns. Beginning in 1934 and ending in 1980, these diaries reflect her response to the vast changes in America, the Church, and the wider world. Day experienced most of the great social movements of her time but, as these diaries reveal, even while she labored for a transformed world, she simultaneously remained grounded in everyday human life: the demands of her extended Catholic worker family; her struggles to be more patient and charitable; the discipline of prayer and worship that structured her days; her efforts to find God in all the tasks and encounters of daily life. A story of faithful striving for holiness and the radical transformation of the world, Day’s life challenges readers to imagine what it would be like to live as if the gospels were true.
