Khalil Gibran: The Collected Works
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

Can't really get in to either of them, so I'm alternating[]

[Ananda]

"living by the words of Bhagavan" by David Godman.

it's like a Milarepa tale of guru and disciple between Annamalai swami and Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi.

if you like to know Maharshi's character best, then i suggest reading this book.

Aauummm Gammm Ganapataye Namah'



I have been reading Adi Sankaracharya's Viveka-Chudamani (Crest Jewel of Wisdom.)  I say "read it", but I tend to "read it" in the fashion of doing Samyama, to avoid "castles in the sky," etc...


I tend to want to read from it, and dive into the stillness, read some more, dive back in, etc...

"Play of Consciousness" by Swami Muktananda.

an autobiographical book about the beautiful experiences which happen to those who follow the path of Mother kundalini.

of course not everyone's experiences are the same, but the similarities are definitely there and some stuff are almost exactly the same.

The next one will be the original edition of "autobiography of a yogi" by yogananda (1946).This first edition has very much material that was deleted by s.r.f.

Namasté.

Hi.

"Mind in the Balance" by B. Alan Wallace

I'm reading this book for the second time.

It is an excellent book and is having quite an impact on me.

It explains so much about the different kinds of medition and practices, contains a historical perspective of the evolution of the mind, compares Christianity with Buddhism and contains several meditative practices with very clear instruction.

I would vote this book to be one of the best that I've ever read.

Reading Be Here Now, by Ram Dass.

Very beautiful, right on. Straight to the heart.


There's a sentence that I really like there relating to Karma Yoga:

"You do what you do because that's what the harmony of the universe requires"

Beautiful.
