"I highly recommend this book
to the experienced spiritual student, to those who are just beginning
to explore a spiritual life, or to anyone who wishes to lead an
inspired life. Swami Chetanananda articulates his spiritual view
with a dazzling clarity and beauty that demonstrate the fruits
of his spiritual practice."

"The rigpa or pure awareness
wisdom of Swami Chetanananda has knowledge of past, present, and
future and flourishes widely. He has mastery, and in him, compassion
is perfected."
Lama Wangdu Rinpoche
"Swami Chetanananda speaks
to us of the means of inner growth from within a living tradition
of spiritual practice. He draws on ancient Indian Tantric traditions,
both Shaiva and Buddhist, and above all, on the form of Tantric
Shaivism known as the Trika.
But these understandings of
the means of spiritual fulfillment are fully integrated into his
own grasp of reality. What we are offered here is not an interpretation
of ancient authorities but an inspired and inspiring vision that
springs from the personal conviction and experience of an extraordinary
man of our own time and culture."
Alexis Sanderson, Spalding
Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics, Oxford University
"[In this book] Swami Chetanananda leads us through the corridors
of spiritual aspiration with the mind of a mathematician, the
heart of a saint, and the soul of a poet."
