Essoteric
Sally Kempton's book "The Heart of Meditation" mentioned this so I got it.
It's not as easy to read as Sally

The real "Secret" is in this book
What a find!!!!

The ancient scriptures hold the secret of creation and unfoldment of all that 'is'. Here is a gem of a book that holds the answers to those that genuinely are looking for answers far beyond the material world and have the curiosity and persistence to pursue.

For the serious, this book will take a life time of dedicated study as it requires contemplation. Although the author has made it easy to read, the content is anything but easy to understand. Unless you have some Eastern exposure to spirituality it is a mind bender at best as it requires a mind shift to fully comprehend what is being presented to the reader.

It is one of the most exciting and mind boggling reads in this lifetime.I higly recommend it.

Beyond Everything Else Lives the Wisdom of Prathabhijna
The 20 aphorisms contained in the Pratyabhijnahrdayam are to my mind the most powerful, intoxicating, profound, lucid, liberating, expanding, amazing collection of teachings anywhere. Not everyone can appreciate them, so I'll include an aphorism here to assist readers in deciding:

Sutra 1: The absolute Chiti (Universal power) of it's own free will is the cause of the Siddhi (manifestation) of the Universe.

Commentary:
It is only when Chiti, the ultimate consciousness-power comes into play that the Universe comes forth into being.

To me, this is such a powerful Sutra it gives me a thrill every time I read it. However, I know others who get no such reaction. If this sutra gives you a thrill, you can with full confidence purchase this book and treasure it deeply, as I do.
