This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The world is teaching man innumerable lessons all the time. Each one should try to discover for himself the secret of his life and the Universal Consciousness that is inherent in him. The first requisite for each one is to make himself his own guru," said Bhagawan in a discourse at Sri Sathya Sai University (then, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning) on July 3rd, 1986. This book is the story of the efforts made by the author in obedience to that instruction and of some of the ways she has been assisted in her inner search by Baba's simple, but very effective teaching methods. This book does not attempt to tell anyone else how to live his life. It does not include any experiences, except those of which the author has first-hand knowledge. No attempt is made to describe or explain Sathya Sai Baba, but the author illustrates by incidents in her personal story what knowing Him has meant to her. This book is the first volume in the quartet, the other volumes being, "Life Is A Challenge, Meet It!", "Life Is A Dream, Realize It!", "Life is Love, Enjoy It!".

Soon Daniel is helping Angus fight an uphill battle against "Flamethrower" Fox, a Conservative notorious for his dirty tactics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have been reading some excellent writings by you. Consider sending me such some pieces in Hindi for the Vishva-Vivek. Regards, BhuDev (On #14) Ive wanted to say this for a long time. Since you write so well, I am surprised that you dont enter the Toastmasters International Speech Contest more often and win!! Maybe I could help you convert some of your writings into inspirational speeches! Let me know if interested! Narayanan (On #19) It seems you have knack of praising everything Americana by putting Hinduism down. Nobody can miss this bias in your articles. Have you heard about samagams and they were what conventions were sans frills. Wish you could make your point without getting into unnecessary diversion. Rahul (On #28) This is, by far, the best of your recent articles! Anand Bhatia (On # 38) Your articles are thought - provoking. Sometimes, I read them twice or thrice to grasp the deeper ideas embedded. You have a natural talent to express the ideas and feelings. Soori (On #60) You have had a very eventful life indeed, coming in company with people of unusual talents. In contrast, I knowingly drifted away from success in search of what I thought was truth. I did find it. But I have been going into hardship intentionally and rejected the material world. Subhash (On #76)
