ART OF CONTEMPLATION

How does one control and quieten the mind? How does one relieve the mind from tension and stress and take it to a state of joy and peace? How do we break free from our sense of limitaion and fear? In the 'Art of Contemplation', Swami Chinmayananda answers all these questions and gives six simple exercises which, if practised regularly, would enable us to control, quieten and free the mind. Swamiji shows how the body must first be quietened, then how to start chanting the mantra, what the various methods of chanting are, how to witness the body and the mind, how to get rid of negative emotions, and finally, how to reach the state of completeness - the absolute peace and happiness.
