Descriere: 3,Do you ever feel like you are constantly searching for the right way to live? Are you searching for answers to cope with grief or hardships? Maybe you are seeking a resolution to a recurring problem?The Book of Life written by--one of the greatest thinkers of our time-- Jiddu Krishnamurti guides you through 365 meditations so you can use your experiences to discover truth and the reality that already exists. Krishnamurti believed that every aspect of life is interconnected. He explored nature of truth and freedom, and taught people that truth can be discovered by anyone and doesn't require an authority figure. The daily meditations are organized by months focusing on topics such as: - Self-knowledge, listening, good and evil, and dependence- Sex, fear, feelings, and energy- Happiness, grief, perception, rebirth, and religion- God, love, and alonenessEach daily entry is brief and can be read in 5 to 10 minutes. Within entries, Krishnamurti poses questions for reflection and shares wisdom that you'll reference later. Some of those poignant messages are: - Learning is always in the active present; it has no past.- We follow another's authority, another's experience and then doubt it; this search for authority and its sequel, disillusionment, it a painful process for most of us. - You discover yourself, not in isolation, not in withdrawal, but in relationship.- The transformation of the world is brought about by the transformation of oneself, because the self is the product and a part of the total process of human existence. The Book of Life is perfect for anyone interested in shifting their mindset, decreasing their stress levels, embracing a happier framework, and open to daily meditations.
