Passage Meditation - A Complete Spiritual Practice cover

It's one thing to start a meditation practice, but much harder to sustain it--and harder still, once we have finished morning meditation, to keep a calm mind in our media-saturated, time pressured world. A master teacher who is as entertaining as he is authoritative, Easwaran gives all the instruction needed to establish a vibrant meditation practice and keep it going. His classic manual on meditation and spiritual living has now been extended by over thirty percent with new material from question and answer sessions with his students, and offers a unique source of practical spiritual support for new and experienced meditators. In passage meditation, you focus attention on passages, or texts, drawn from all the world's sacred traditions. You choose the passages that appeal to you, so this universal method stays fresh and inspiring, prompting you to live out your highest ideals. Meditation is supported by the mantram and six other spiritual tools to help us stay calm, kind, and focused throughout the day. This book shows how, with regular practice, we gain wisdom and vitality, and find a life that fulfills.

"No extravagant claims, no pretentious jargon. Just a clear, insightful exposition of meditation, and an excellent guide to its practice." -- Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions "Eknath Easwaran ... sets forth the basics of meditation with gentle humor and the insights gained from a lifetime of spiritual practice ...[and] integrates Eastern and Western approaches to the art of stilling the mind and opening the heart." -- Yoga Journal "Excellent book ... full of charming anecdotes and advice to those trapped in materialism. His chapter on mantrams is particularly helpful ... Demonstrate[s] sound background knowledge in Oriental thought and meditative techniques, plus years of personal experience." -- Library Journal
