Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Road to Experience There is a radical difference between the spiritual life guided by belief, from that which has its foundation in experience. But belief is the way to experience. Just as doubt precedes belief, faith comes before the experience of the divine. Mere belief is transformed into faith when it is put into practice, when it is lived. And if this practice is sustained in a persevering way, the experience is accessed. When the experience of the divine is lived, it is no longer believed, it is known. The irrefutable proof is lived in the intimacy of the heart, certainty is installed. This form of evidence is personal and although it tries to be transmitted, it can only be translated.

Download or read book The Urban Monk written by Dishant Kapil and published by Bigfoot Publications. This book was released on with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the age-old teachings of the Bhagavad Gita had politicians, leaders, saints, and sages turn to it for answers to solve the dilemmas of administration, the mind, and everyday life. It emphasises the value of reflection and self-awareness and pursuing inner harmony and tranquillity by being aware of our thoughts, deeds, and intentions. The teachings of the Bhagavad Gita are all the more significant today when India is going through rapid change due to globalisation. While it results in the world's interconnectedness and evolution of global culture, it is taking Indians away from traditional values and beliefs. Another facet of globalisation is the western fascination with the Indian scriptures, teachings, traditions, culture, etc. This aspect is testimony to the fact that the gems of wisdom held in the Gita and other ancient texts of India have immense power and relevance, and the world is waking up to them. The author believes this is the exact point in time when young Indians should return to India's ultimate book of answers to enrich themselves with ancient wisdom while scaling new heights. In this book, the author has shared nuggets of priceless wisdom and teachings from this revered text, which can guide those seeking to attain the full expression of life on earth and evolve into their best versions.

Download or read book Mystics and Zen Masters written by Thomas Merton and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 1999-11-29 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Merton was recognized as one of those rare Western minds that are entirely at home with the Zen experience. In this collection, he discusses diverse religious concepts-early monasticism, Russian Orthodox spirituality, the Shakers, and Zen Buddhism-with characteristic Western directness. Merton not only studied these religions from the outside but grasped them by empathy and living participation from within. "All these studies," wrote Merton, "are united by one central concern: to understand various ways in which men of different traditions have conceived the meaning and method of the 'way' which leads to the highest levels of religious or of metaphysical awareness."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From divine visions to self-tortures, some strange mystical experiences have shaped the Christian tradition as we know it. Full of colourful detail, Mystics of the Christian Tradition examines the mystical experiences that have determined the history of Christianity over two thousand years, and reveals the often sexual nature of these encounters with the divine. In this fascinating account, Fanning reveals how God's direct revelation to St Francis of Assisi led to his living with lepers and kissing their sores, and describes the mystical life of Margery Kempe who 'took weeping to new decibel levels'. Through presenting the lives of almost a hundred mystics, this broad survey invites us to consider what it means to be a mystic and to explore how people such as Joan of Arc had their lives determined by divine visions. Mystics of the Christian Tradition is a comprehensive guide to discovering what mysticism means and who the mystics of the Christian tradition actually were.

Book excerpt: A Personal Narration of a Man's Journey Toward Self-DiscoveryKen Mellor's Urban Mystic: Discovering the Transcendent through Everyday Life is the fascinating story of the author's life path that led him to become a spiritual mentor and master.He had a life-changing experience at the age of 13, something he describes as "a few seconds of inner beauty, that began it all".Little did he realise that those few seconds carved out his destiny and took him to places he never dreamed he would go, and in those places were people who helped shape the person he was to become. His journey takes him to Australia, India, England, Switzerland, Germany and the United States where he learns life lessons from many different teachers, including gaining spiritual guidance from a Siddha Master, Tantric Master, Vedic Master, and a Divine Mother. He would learn from many of life's events, including his work as a social worker with immigrants, as a psychotherapist and his work with schizophrenic people, as a meditation teacher and, eventually, a spiritual mentor to people in an international network keen to learn the many developments he and his wife, Elizabeth, made for making life easier and spiritually fulfilling.Mellor's first-person narrative reads like an intimate journal, filled with anecdotes that present the daily wonder of embracing life fully. He describes how every event in one's life can clearly show the next step on the path of spiritual awakening. His encouraging and entertaining prose is meant to educate readers, subtly and lovingly, towards expanded understanding and awakening, and to their own unique destiny.
