A fascinating book about an extremely fascinating God-man
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Dadaji ("beloved Elder Brother") is one of the most beautiful spiritual figures ever to appear on this planet. Astonishing miracles surrounded him, yet he said he had nothing to do with them (everything is God's doing). His superb, informal teaching (he never gave formal lectures) was a simple, elegant and eloquent presentation of the highest level of parabhakti or abheda bhakti, Supreme, Nondual Devotion to the One Who Alone Is--God (Whom Dadaji designated as Sri Sri Satyanarayan, Absolute Truth personified, or transcendent God immanent within all creatures). He also castigated with wit and force all those pseudo-gurus and messiahs who chronically arise to exploit humanity's psychological vulnerability and yearning for God-realization. Anyone at all interested in mature, balanced, authentic spirituality simply must meet Dadaji. Now that he is without a physical body (he passed beyond in 1992), I can think of no finer introduction to Dadaji's splendid personality, his edifying counsels, and his (God's!) astonishing lila-miracles than Ann Mills' truly excellent book, *The Truth Within.* I have the 1987 first edition; i assume the more recent edition(s) have the same structure, including "What It's Like to Meet Dadaji," followed by 3 long sections of teachings, a fine biographical sketch, observations by various longtime friends (including film stars, nobel laureate scientists, et al., Indians, Westerners) of various facets of Dadaji's person and spiritual, but nonreligious ministry. There's a whole section on the truly amazing, wonderful, and often whimsical miracle experiences that surrounded Dadaji as well, the bi-locations, intense anomalous Divine fragrances, materializations, etc. A useful glossary and bibliography are included in the 1st edition and, i assume, in this edition as well. Read, enjoy, and awaken from the dream of "me"! Timothy Conway, Author of Women of Power & Grace, and the forthcoming India's Sages: Nondual Wisdom from the Heart of Freedom.
