Spirituality Is Often Referred To As A Path. But Where Does It Begin? Where Does It End? And Where Does It Take Us? Is The Seeker Himself The Trailblazer, Hacking Through The Jungle With His Lone Machete? Or Is It Laid Out Before Us? Are There Multiple Paths Or Just One?

Published By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.
No One Is Going To Force Us Onto The Spiritual Path; It Is Up To Each Of Us To Decide What To Make Of Our Life. But After Reading The User’s Manual For An Appliance, We Find Ourselves Inspired To Try To Make It Run As Efficiently As Possible. Likewise, When We Sincerely Study The Life And Teachings Of The Great Masters, We Will Surely Want To Make The Most Of This Rare And Precious Blessing Of A Human Life. In The Blessed Life, Swami Ramakrishnananda Points Out That Amma’s Blessings And Grace Are Always There For Us. However, Just As A Room Will Remain Dark On The Brightest Of Summer Days If We Don’t Bother To Open The Windows, To Become Receptive, We May Have To Make Some Adjustments In The Way We Lead Our Life. With Characteristic Wit, Lively Examples And Profound Insights Gleaned From 28 Years Of Living With Amma, Swami Ramakrishnananda Explores The Kinds Of Actions And Attitudes That We Can Adopt In Order To Allow Divine Grace To Flow Into Us, Making Our Life Truly Blessed. Published By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.
The Book Examines The Difference Between The Way Most Human Beings See The World And The Vision Of True Spiritual Masters. We Can Never Really Understand What It Is Like To See The World Through Amma’s Eyes. But It Is Obvious That Wherever She Looks, Amma Sees More Than We See. She Sees Deeper Into The Situation, Into The Heart Of The Person, And Into The Cause Of The Problem At Hand. She Sees Beyond Dogma Into The Unified Heart Of The World’s Religions, And Beyond Cultural Differences To See All Human Beings As One Universal Family. Wherever She Looks, She Sees God Alone. Finally, She Sees Nothing But Her Self Everywhere. It Is As It Always Has Been And Always Will Be. With Characteristic Wit, Lively Examples And Profound Insights Gleaned From Three Decades As Amma’s Disciple, Swami Ramakrishnananda Examines The Difference Between Our Perception Of The World And The Vision Of The True Spiritual Masters. Finally We Begin To Understand That Amma’s Vision Of Oneness Is In Fact The Essence Of Spirituality. It Is A Vision Amma Wants For Us All, Because She Knows That Perceiving This Reality Is The Only Thing That Will Bring Us Peace, Both As Individuals And As A World. Published By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.
To Travel Along The Spiritual Path, We Need A Guide Who Knows The Destination, Knows All The Twists And Turns And Pitfalls Along The Way, And Knows Our Strengths And Weaknesses. In Amma We Have The Supreme Guide To The Spiritual Path. Not Only Does She Know The Way, She Is Willing To Walk Alongside Us, Holding Our Hand At Every Step Of The Way And Illuminating The Path Ahead. The Hindu Scriptures Compare The Spiritual Path To Walking Along A Razor’s Edge. Now Swami Ramakrishnananda Shows How, With The Help And Loving Guidance Of A Satguru Like Amma, We Can Tread This Path With Relative Ease, Even Racing Along The Path Toward Inner Peace And Ultimately The Realization Of The Universal Self That All Beings Share. Narrated With Characteristic Wit, Lively Examples, And Profound Insights And Experiences Gleaned From Over 25 Years Of Living With Amma, Racing Along The Razor’s Edge Is A Wellspring Of Practical Wisdom From One Of Amma’s Senior Disciples. Swami Ramakrishananda Puri Has Been Traveling Around The Globe With Amma Since Her First World Tour In 1987.

People From All Walks Of Life Who Are Considered Successful In Their Respective Fields Still Come To Seek Amma’s Guidance And Blessings. Despite Their So-Called Success, They Still Seek Something More. Their Worldly Success Has Not Given Them What They Really Want: Contentment And Peace Of Mind. In Ultimate Success, Swami Ramakrishnananda Points Out That As Long As We Have The Desire For Something Else, Or Something More Than We Already Have, We Cannot Be Considered Truly Successful. Only If We Realize Our True Self, Which Is Omniscient, Omnipotent, And Omnipresent, Will We Feel Truly Complete And Successful. With Characteristic Wit, Lively Examples And Profound Insights And Experiences Gleaned From 27 Years Of Living With Amma, Swami Ramakrishnananda Sets Out To Redefine The Concept Of Success In Light Of The Tradition Of The Great Masters From Religious Traditions Around The World.

The Eternal, Blissful Nature Of Our True Self Is A Secret, But No One Is Deliberately Keeping It From Us, Least Of All God Or The Guru. To Those Whose Minds Are Clouded By The Ego, This Knowledge Is As Though Hidden, In The Same Way That A Melody Is Hidden From A Tone-Deaf Person Or Certain Colors Are Hidden From The Color-Blind. It Remains A Secret Until A Suitable Person Appears To Receive The Teaching. Amma Says She Is Just Waiting For Such Recipients To Appear. In His Fourth Book On Spiritual Life, Swami Ramakrishnananda Delves Deeper Than Ever Before Into The Essential Spiritual Principles Elucidated By His Beloved Satguru, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi.
