More than just reading...

The book is more than just theoretical concepts related to mind, thoughts and discrimination. In the book, Mrs. Krystal takes her own example as a case to show us how She untied restrictive thought patterns in her day to day life. She guides us on how we can look into the "I" within ourselves to be our beacons in daily life. Examples/Anecdotes/Stories from Indian epics like Ramayana helps one to understand the concepts. A practical book!!!

An extraordinary book for every spiritual aspirant.

An extraordinary book for every spiritual aspirant !

Phyllis Krystal has once again proved to be a wonderful instrument of our dear Lord Sai in helping and guiding all his devotees. This book helps us in understanding our path and the most important tool for our path - MIND ; much better. Her poems are moving, touching and can bring tears to one's eyes, to say the least. One of the best sai books i've read. And i think we should read this book again and again.
