Spiritual Traveler - A Book Review

Book ReviewRiaz Manji’s "A Handbook for the Spiritual Traveler" In the fall of 1991, Riaz Manji looked down upon the raging river from atop a bridge in Calgary. He was a mere step away from ending his life. But something within him stopped him. This was the beginning of his spiritual journey and transformation.For over a decade he read some 300 books that dealt with issues related to the meaning of life and spiritual search. His book captures some of the wisdom promulgated by giants in this field, including Shirley MacLaine, Edgar Cayce and Deepak Chopra.Riaz begins by giving the reader an intimate look into his life. He begins to weave a poignant story that spans his childhood to that ill-fated day in the fall of 1991. His writing style defies any norm adopted by the majority of the best-selling authors today, giving this opening chapter a very personal and a very honest touch.The next twenty-four chapters resemble capsules of wisdom to be reflected upon one at a time. Each chapter deals with a different subject and each subject is introduced to the reader with personal anecdotes as well as examples gathered from the innumerable sources consulted during the author’s spiritual quest.Riaz tackles topics such as Near Death and Out of Body Experiences, Mind over Body and Meditation and Prayer. He even grapples with UFOs and of course, Suicide.In a chapter entitled Meditation and Prayer, Riaz shares some basic concepts developed during his Yoga training. He gives personal accounts of spiritual experiences during his meditative states and implores the reader – time and time again – to seek answers to the mysteries of life from within.The handbook is truly just that – a guide containing ten years of wisdom sparked by divine providence. It is for those who wish to awaken their inner vision through establishing a one-on-one relationship with God.This book will not only appeal to those who have taken a personal leave from their churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples – but will also appeal to those who seek to enhance their relationship with God through their religious orders. Where else may one find 10 years of accumulated wealth of spiritual knowledge encapsulated in bite-size chapters to rekindle the spirit within? "A Handbook for the Spiritual Traveler" takes an enormous step towards healing a soul afflicted with the pain and sorrow caused by separation from God.Shamir S. Ladhani, Senior Specialist Engineer , Calgary Alberta.
