The sections in this book are only a page or two long but that is all you need. I love to open the book at random and always find it inspirational.
Light yet enlightening
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book elucidates the greatest and most inspiring teachings of Hinduism, and yet does so in a way which is full of humor and wit and shows the universality of the teachings and their immediate relevance for daily life. Special technical terms and other boring academic BS are virtually nonexistent, and the book's filled with lots of clever little stories and fables to illustrate the teachings. Swami Satchidananda is a true master of the pun; he alerts us to the dangers of egoism, for example, by reminding us how the word 'mine' -- meaning 'belonging to me' -- can also mean something treacherous that's just waiting to explode on us when we step on it! Fun and light-hearted, yet also enlightening, heartening, uplifting and utterly profound. Can't recommend it too highly.
This Book Changed My Life

As dramatic as that claim sounds, this book entered my life when I desperately needed help. It became a "bible" for me that got me though some very troubled waters...the simplicity of the language and the depth of Swami Satchidananda's sincerity has had a profound effect on me. I read it at least once a year...and I give it as a gift to very special friends who are ready for the message, which changes with each new reading! All that, plus Peter Max's artwork! A great library addition.
A WONDERFUL SURPRISE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I bought this little book as a Peter Max fan and was delightfully surprised by the simply written, pointed pearls of the Swami's wisdom. It is the kind of book that you can just randomly read when you want to be uplifted, or a lovely gift appropriate for art lovers as well as anyone at the beginning...or in the middle of...life's journey.

A must buy for any Peter Max fan or collector. If you love his art you must buy! Illustrations are out of this world. The book makes you think about simple things in life. Swami and Peter Max have had several books together - this one is absolutely magnificent!
