I have taken pains to make the book entertaining (pictures of luminaries with interesting details, plus lively graphics) and concise. All the essential understandings are here. You’ll get a better sense of your own path in spirituality, and a deeper experience of the profound, ineffable truths that all paths, consciously or unconsciously, try to get back to. This book is FREE for a while so people will review it... please do! Enjoy!
