This book was gifted to me by one of my colleagues and a good friend Sanghamitra. Our conversations were never trivial or usual. They were always esoteric that mostly touched upon multiverses and meditation practices. Not being a keen believer of a practitioner of mediation myself, I dusted off her opinions on Yoga and Mindfulness. The thought of needing those skills and habits baffled me. In fact it was nothing short of absurdity. But then life has brutal ways of breaking you in order for you to see things and fall in line.
Four years later, one fine day, I chanced upon this book that was calmly collecting dust on my cherished bookshelf. Something egged me to give it a try. I reluctantly relented. This autobiography is the first one I'd read on a Spiritual Guru. Books written about well-known artisits,revolutionary figures, philosophers and politicians showed me how far humans could go to get what they want. I was able to experience a "core connection" with this one. Continuous reflections on "What is the purpose of my life?" pursued as the pages turned. Anybody that went through a process of self rediscovery triggered by a life-altering experience must have figured out what spirituality is all about. Those lot should definitely try this rare account.
