MOVING TOWARDS REALITY

Dear Readers/friends
Let me introduced to you my forth-coming book. 
I have broken this spiritual journey into many stops or HALTS. These are very necessary steps to contemplate your journey and to look forward for destination. The big question is why to take this journey and why not to settle for an ordinary life comprising satisfying your body needs or sometimes religious and spiritual. I think it is an utmost desire of everybody to advance in life, an inborn or innate. A very few people would love to stand still and get stagnated, there are only two choices either to move forward or back ward. So in my view moving forward is a better option.


seeking Brahman
The ultimate reality

This book is about an arduous journey taken by an ordinary seeker in quest of Brahman. The voyage is full of conquering hurdles, and combating tons of persistent fears and doubts. It is a challenging but an alluring passage. During the course one has to fight the demons of uncertainties, confrontation from outside and inside forces, laced with loads of emotional turmoil resulting into utter loneliness. But in spite of its complexity, it is quite alluring, resulting in persons gravitating towards spirituality. The force is so strong that they are ready to forgo anything they posses, including their much cherished ego. 
 Moreover once this choice is made there is no going back, and one can never be sure that whether he has chosen this path or his destiny has chosen him.
The beauty of this up heals task lies in the merits of each step taken, which is filled with immense contentment.

 ACKNOWLEDGMENT
This book is loosely based on my Guruji’s (SWAMI STAYADEVJI MAHARAJ) books and discourses. Our Guruji, was a spiritual leader, philosopher, and writer par excellence, it is a very difficult task for me to do justice to his work. I tried my level best to do it.
I want to keep this book as a raw, unpolished as a child because that is how I met him, around (40 years back )both in age and in mental status.  We all have tendency to lean towards security, faith and love, that’s what I did many years ago gravitating towards him and still doing it in my own way, though he is not physically present with us.
In this difficult endeavor, I had to consult many more spiritual leaders, religious books, and sacred text like BHAGWAT GITA and SHIV PURAN. 
 My heart felt thanks to each and every notion I borrowed from their text. All I can say in ode to them is “Knowledge cannot be invented; it can only be rediscovered and resurrected.


I started this journey by becoming a seeker from a traveler. 
Traveler became seeker. and traveler became seeker part 2.

PART-1.

                                 PART-3.
4 HALT: MOVING TOWARDS REALITY
Unfolding spiritual secrets…    ……………......      
                                  PART-4.
5 HALT: REACHING FINAL DESTINATION
THE HIGHEST GOAL BRAHMAN………………    

When I started this book I was quite naive about the hardships and the "power of prayer" to combat
difficulties, physical, mental or spiritual. That is why I have not included these chapters on power of Prayers in book but during the course I have realized one can not move an inch forward unless one passes these steps also. Ma Shakti an incarnation of (cosmic energy) is required in every form to move forward, without which one is listless, and motionless.
So you see dear friends I myself is between step -3 and trying hard to reach for step-4.
But why to take and not settle for whatever I got. No answer till now...
Whether I have chosen this journey or I am the CHOSEN ONE...no answer till now.
When I got frustrated I ask GOD "Why me"?
But when I see glimpses of His blessings. Then again I ask "Why not me"?
So dear friends let me find my answers of my quest, only then I can do justice to this book.
Until then, come and travel with me, whether physical, mental or spiritual.
I promise you I WON'T BORE YOU.
Till then
bon voyage
