In 1965,
Swami Omkarananda
, monk, mystic and philosopher, came
to Europe. For many years he served those who came to him in a
variety of ways, he gave speeches, guided meditations and lived
an exemplary ascetic and saintly life in Switzerland and
Austria. He knew how to relate the ancient wisdom of the East to
that of the West, and how to present it, and to impart the
living Presence of the Divine. He drew his knowledge from his
immediate experience of the Truth, revealing from this state the
deepest wisdom about God and life. From the abundance of his speeches held in Austria, Swamini Mahalakshmipriyananda, selected those aphorisms present in this volume, which, in a further step, were then compiled according to different subjects. (146 Pages, Hard-bound) |
