READ ANYTHING COMPILED OR WRITTEN BY EASWARAN

Easwaran's Meditation (underline title) was my introduction to him and his extensive contribution. My life altered from reading that book! No book (before or since) has ever had that kind of impact on me. I began summarily to read absolutely everything he has ever written, translated or compiled. His is a genius and a writing style so accessible, yet so penetrating. He brings "being one with God" to life! Easwaran's 8 steps are the cornerstones for my life. This book contains passages to be memorized and used in meditation....hence, "passage meditation." Many passages in this book surface on a day-to-day basis just when I most need them. I am grateful to this man and to those who are keeping Eknath Easwaran's work alive. Dive in! You will never be disappointed...Judy Billman
