Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ग्यांन सरीखा गुरू न मिलिया, चित्त सरीखा चेला। मन सरीखा मेलू न मिलिया, तीथैं गोरख फिरै अकेला।। No guru found like wisdom, no disciple like consciousness, no friend like the mind — so Gorakh roams alone. — Gorakh, Sabadi 189. The Gorakh sabadis tell us that the totality of a human being, implying both conscious and subconscious (unconscious) things, is the interconnected movement of sensations and feelings, sounds and vibrations, thoughts and desires; that with desire, our consciousness moves in time and becoming, and that right meditation is the awakening of emptiness, that is, divine fire or bodhi on its own from nowhere, and the emptying of the consciousness. The emptying of the consciousness is our dying, psychologically, which is sweet. To die while living and live having died is the supreme art of living. The teaching of Gorakh of joga (yoga) or religion is alakh vigyán, which is to be known with the alakh sense and meditation and not only by thinking or thought. Truly die, Yogi, dying is sweet! Die the death Gorakh died — beholding. Die while living, live having died, the wonderful ambrosia — drink your fill of it. — Gorakh Sabadi 291. — Yogi Surajnath, guru Budhnath ji.

Download or read book Prophets Gurus and Pundits written by Anna M. Young and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2014-02-21 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Prophets, Gurus, and Pundits, author Anna M. Young proposes that the difficulty of bridging the gap between intellectuals and the public is not a failure of ideas; rather, it is an issue of rhetorical strategy. By laying a rhetorical foundation and presenting analytical case studies of contemporary “public intellectuals,” Young creates a training manual for intellectuals who seek to connect with a public audience and effect change writ large. Young begins by defining key aspects of rhetorical style before moving on to discuss the specific ways in which intellectuals may present ideas to a general audience in order to tackle large-scale social problems. Next, she defines the ways in which five crucial turning points in our nation—the rise of religious fundamentalism, a growing lack of trust in our institutions, the continued destruction of the environment, the ubiquity of media and information in our daily lives, and the decline of evidence-based reasoning—have set the stage for opportunities in the current public-intellectual dialogue. Via case studies of such well-known personalities as Deepak Chopra and Professor Cornel West, Young goes on to reveal the six types of public intellectuals who achieve success in presenting scholarly ideas to audiences at large: The Prophet presents the public’s sins for contemplation, then offers a path to redemption. The Guru shepherds his or her flock to enlightenment and a higher power. The Sustainer draws upon our natural and human resources to proffer solutions for social, political, and ecological systems. The Pundit utilizes wit and brevity to bring crucial issues to the attention of the public. The Narrator combines a variety of perspectives to create a story the average person can connect with and understand. The Scientist taps into the dreams of the public to offer ideas from above and beyond the typical scope of public discourse. At once a rallying cry and roadmap, The Politics of Thinking Out Loud draws upon rhetorical expertise and analysis of contemporary public intellectuals to offer a model for scholars to effectively engage the public—and in doing so, perhaps forever change the world in which we live.

Download or read book Crystal Clear written by Jane Heller and published by Diversion Books. This book was released on 2016-03-20 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times-Bestselling Author: A trip to Sedona, a disappearing heiress, and a reappearing ex-husband add up to trouble for a straitlaced accountant… No one craves order more than bean counter Crystal Goldstein. A partner at a New York accounting firm, doting daughter to her aging father, and loyal girlfriend to the equally workaholic Steven, she has her life completely under control. But when she learns that Steven’s been cheating on her with his ex-wife, that her gruff father has spent years yearning for a brother she never knew she had, and that her job may be in jeopardy, she’s brought up really short. Crystal's best friend—a New Age junkie—convinces her that her aura needs cleansing and her chakras need balancing. With nothing to lose, Crystal takes a long-overdue vacation in mystical, metaphysical Sedona, Arizona. Among the resort’s guests: Amanda Wells Reid, international jet-setter, consummate party-goer, and darling of the society columnists, along with her personal assistant, personal chef, personal trainer, and personal publicist. And their tour driver is none other than the totally irresistible, totally irresponsible husband Crystal tossed out so many years ago. It doesn’t take a psychic to know that the mix of a reappearing ex-husband whose appeal has only ripened and a millionaire heiress who suddenly vanishes is going to add up to some pretty eye-opening—and mind-expanding—doings…. “A modern spin on a good old-fashioned Cinderella story.”—Kirkus Reviews “Jane Heller’s special gift for lampooning the pompous and self-absorbed make for enormously funny reading. Crystal Clear will have you snickering from beginning to end.”—RT Book Reviews
