Publisher's Synopsis
"What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger."
A Joyous Adventure. We are all on a sacred journey of life. Appreciation of its beauty becomes a natural consequence to the dive towards the Deeper Self in us. This book deals with both the esoteric and practical aspects of our venerable journey. It puts forth pensive pointers for reflection and self-awareness.
Human beings are externalized - hooked on to the outer aspects of life such as material possessions, fame, identification with a nation, religion or the like, and so on. This is creating a lot of unhappiness to the individual and, therefore, to humanity as a whole. Those who realize this begin to turn inward and indulge in "Athma Vichara" - the Soul Search. "In Quest of The Deeper Self" functions as a wayside companion to them.
The noisy mind and its obstruction to the inner dive are brought out clearly. Movement towards the inner silence is portrayed as the essential feature in the quest for the Deeper Self.
In the process of this movement, a pervasive background serenity is discovered. To lead one's daily life from that serenity somehow makes it all very meaningful. A number of cryptic paradigms are given to highlight the key aspects of the inward journey. Personal and planetary transformations are looked into as also the deceptive pursuit of individual salvation.
While presenting issues for serious reflection, this book puts forth a rather uncommon pointer that frivolity and light-hearted attitudes play a healthy role in the movement towards the Deeper Self. Such legendary figures as Sherlock Holmes and Tarzan too perform their little dances in this presentation.
Enjoy the book and the journey towards the Self!
