Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - WHY ME That was the question I asked God and myself over and over again. I knew there would be no quick reply, no simple answer as to why at nineteen years of age my body was being poisoned by the blood running through my veins. With each passing day I became weaker. My eyesight became blurry. The color of my skin was a sickly yellow. And when I had the courage to look, I could barely recognize myself in the mirror. Oh sure, the doctor told me the name of a long scientific medical term that described my illness, but why was this happening to me Just a year ago, I was graduating from high school looking forward to college and the possibility of becoming a professional athlete. How could this have happened to me I was young, healthy, and full of life. I was invincible, or so I thought.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For ages and ages Kriya had been the preserve of ascetics and saints who normally lived away from human society. The system was so highly esteemed and possibility of attainments by devotedly adopting it that the early masters thought only a very select and deserving few should be initiated into it lest the system was wrongly practiced and applied for earthly gains or lest the price-less technique was in any way tampered with or misinterpreted. Many sound religious and spiritual teachings have been found to have been turned into unwelcome banal and vulgar features and decayed in the long history of India's spiritual efforts due to indiscriminate broadcasting of the teachings. The rigid attitude of the early Gurus of Kriya Yoga, even if it appears uncalled for and narrow today, saved the system from getting tarnished, debased and deviated from like many other valuable spiritual teachings.The above barrier was, however, breached with the advent of Shyama Charan Lahiri on the scene, towards the middle of the last century, in 1861 to be specific. It was Lahiri Mahasaya's large-hearted kindness and unbounded loving consideration for his fellow worldly men and women that wrought the miracle. His ardent prayers to his Guru ultimately softened the Guru and 'the ice' was melted. He was allowed by his god-man Guru to initiate deserving and devotedly desiring persons, even a householder, into the secrets of Kriya. Thus it was Shyama Charan who became the fountain source of Kriya that spread gradually throughout the country and abroad. Kriya performers would always remember the ever-kind Lahiri Mahasaya for his munificence in this respect and worship his memory in their heart of hearts.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Enjoy this unique collection of sayings and intriguing remarks about life from author Steve Winter, a man of many talents.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For each of us, life's dilemma can be reduced to two positions: 1) The universe always existed, you exist for a fleeting moment, and the universe continues on; 2) The universe was created when you were born and it will cease to exist when you die. Both of these perspectives are absolutely true and they pose for the inquirer a dichotomous enigma. Religion, or what is purported to be so, should be involved with these two aspects; but it's not! Unified Feel Theory is not religion, but a religious process to be experienced and struggled with by every inquiring mind; singularly and alone. Not until the quintessential self is known by its own inquiring mind, can it be of any meaningful service to its self or to others. Society has managed to intimidate and encapsulate each inner self to such a degree that only those aspects and qualities needed and wanted by the collective are nurtured and allowed to make their presence known and be seen as the outer self. The Equilibrium Texts outfit and encourage an inward journey to seek, rescue, and bring forth, one's own inner being.…
