Description

First published in 1939, this still-remarkable book reveals the common ground of deep Christianity and Hindu yogic practices and sacred texts — as the“inner reality” or “kingdom of heaven” in each of us. It brings together inspiring mystical expositions of the Seven Beatitudes, the Sermon on the Mount, the Gospel of Saint John, the Bhagavad Gita, with practical advice on deep prayer, yoga, and meditation.

This April 2016 edition incorporates Paul Brunton’s final revisions and has a new foreword by the Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation.

About Paul Brunton

Paul Brunton helps us hear the melody behind the medley of today's "spiritual marketplace." His late writings raise the bar for what we can expect of spiritual teachings and teachers, and what we can do for ourselves. Born in London in 1898, he soon became a leading pioneer of much of what we now take for granted. He traveled widely throughout the world (long before it was fashionable) to meet living masters of various traditions with whom he then lived and studied. His eleven early books from 1934–1952 shared much of what he learned, and helped set the stage for dramatic east-west exchanges of the late 20th century. Paul Brunton left more than 10,000 pages of enormously helpful new work in notebooks he reserved for posthumous publication, much of which is now available as The Notebooks of Paul Brunton.
