Most spiritual seekers have no real idea of what exactly it is that they are seeking even after having spent years chasing the chimera of Enlightenment. It stands to reason that if you want something desperately you would take great pains to find out what it did for those who have got it. So if you desire Enlightenment, it would make abundant sense to at least check out what the Enlightened ones have to say about the state of self-realization. That is what Enlightened Living does for you. In this book Ramesh Balsekar, arguably the most renowned exponent of the ancient philosophy of Advaita today and the author of 30 well-known books, presents you a clear perspective on the self-realized state, in his hallmark lucid style. If you have believed the sage to be a glorified vegetable, passionless and neutered to all pleasure and all pain, if you have believed that he is in a never-ending state of cocooned bliss or if you have believed that there is some- one out there to enjoy that blissful state, this book shows you just how mistaken you are. To make its point, Enlightened Living presents an impressive array of Masters from Adi Shankara to Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, from Ashtavakra to Ramana Maharshi, from Jnaneshwara to Nisargadatta Maharaj and Sengtsan to share with you, in the simplest terms possible, the reality of the state of self-realization. Pointers are used, insights are bestowed and cobwebs vigorously dusted away till what you are left with is a deeply satisfying clarity which may or may not be intellectual.

One of the hardest things in life is finding peace of mind and contentedness in a constantly changing world of ever growing complexity. Most would agree that humanity has come a long way since the dark ages, yet our world is still troubled by human-caused inflictions, such as war, crime and inequitable distribution of the basic necessities for living. How can individuals achieve lasting peace under such conditions? How can societies create a better world in the face of greed, inequality, and abuse of power? Clearly, as a species, we still have a long way to go on our collective path of awakening and enlightenment. Awakened World is a comprehensive outline of a highly evolved and enlightened society, as revealed directly by one of its inhabitants. A complete spiritual philosophy is presented, with clear explanations of its principles, ideals, values, ethics, and applications for living. Simple yet powerful spiritual truths are unveiled, revealing the secrets of 'enlightened living' that are available to each and every one of us. This book is intended for those of you who yearn for a more peaceful and contented existence, regardless of what life brings or throws your way. It is also intended as a guide for collectives who aim to create more humane and enlightened ways of living for the benefit of everyone, not just the few. Replete with simple examples and daily practices, these spiritual insights may prove to be of great import for human enlightenment and the ongoing evolution of our species ...

Stranded by stormy weather on a small Greek Island, Lutheran Bishop Emeritus Martin Lonnebo created the Pearls of Life concept to guide his own prayer. He shared the idea with others and was amazed at their response and their stories of ever deepening prayer. The bracelet is made of quality glass and ceramic beads, strung on a soft elastic cord and imported from a fairtrade manufacturer in India. The book describes the meaning of each pearl and how it may be used in personal prayer. There are eighteen pearls, twelve round and six oblong. For example: - The largest golden pearl reminds us that we are not alone: God is supporting us, accepting us, loving us. - The six oblong pearls are for silence, for shutting out that which distracts. - The small shimmering white pearl reminds us that we are created in God's image. - The large white pearl reminds us that we are forgiven. Suitable for use by youth and adults, congregations may adapt it for use in confirmation classes, study groups, and retreats.
