The Spirit Born People

By Puran Singh

Book Overview

These are the lecture notes for addresses I proposed to deliver to the Sikh youth of thePunjab. But as I am placed in the desert away from the towns where they gather, I let these goundelivered. And also because the Sikh youth are running in haste after shadows, turning theirbacks on the Sun of Suns, the Guru. This world of the Guru, the Beautiful, is different and theirworld how different; so to them the values of fiction and fact have been hopelessly interchanged.Still, I hope these addresses will reach them by and by.And the Sikh youth is everywhere, the youth that has the disciple-consciousness, aspiringto love, the Beautiful, which alone is truly good, truly noble, and truly divine. The formBeautiful appearing once rarely in ages, and fascinating the disciple-consciousness and vanishingin the eternal background of the spiritual inner Infinite, is the Guru Beautiful, the Bridegroom;the disciple-consciousness thenceforward restless without that presence or the sense of thatpresence is The Spirit Born People, -or The Brides.

THE PRACTITIONER'S VIEW

"Wasting away in holy memory of Him is better religion than going to the temples and becoming redundantly glad by a meaningless ceremony. True worship is in the continuing pang for that Glory."..."Feeling is always new, like the effects of the sky"..."Feeling alone is love, is art, is religion, 'following' is of no particular interest to the artistic seekers of That Noble Reality of a personal feeling."This is "Spirit" made accessible in poetry as well as prose by a man who delved deep into the Endless and emerged to give us a glimpse of what life is like when one lives wholly through the ecstatic and untainted reality of a "Sikh". These are the experiences of a man in love with ALL.An amazing book not just to be read and then left to adorn a bookshelf. This is a book to shift one's paradigm; a book to transform the core of our being; a book full of words and images that will not only uplift, rather it will take the reader in it's loving embrace and rise to the Realms of the Spirit. Who would not want to be "SPIRIT BORN"? Other titles in English include- THE BOOK OF THE TEN MASTERS, SPIRIT OF THE SIKH (Part I & II (VOL.I & II)), ON PATHS OF LIFE, SISTERS OF THE SPINNING WHEEL, THE TEMPLE TULIPS, WALT WHITMAN AND THE SIKH INSPIRATION, THE BRIDE OF THE SKY and THE SPIRIT OF ORIENTAL POETRY.
