Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Though many of us know ourselves to be believers, it can be easy to lose our sense of direction when disappointment abounds. Maybe it is our bills that are piling up, our circumstances have become overwhelming, or the discouragement of watching disaster unfold in the world around us.Heneka is feeling this way. Although he has always striven to believe in his hopes for himself, he finds himself feeling farther and farther from the life he desires. He's ashamed to admit it, but he finds himself contemptuous and jealous of others, bitter against the world, and despairing at the thought of the future. So, hoping for answers, he decides to finally open the stack of letters from his Father sitting, unopened, on his desk.Over the course of Unopened Letters, Heneka will learn, along with the help of his insightful friend Amita, the hard truth of just how far he's strayed from his faith-and the perhaps harder-to-swallow lesson of just how easy it is to come back. As he opens each letter, one by one, he takes up their subjects in conversation with Amita: from where the desire to blame others for our pain arises, the root of doubt in the human heart, and ultimately, what reason we have to always trust in God's path for us, no matter how far we've strayed.Thoughtful, heartful, and true, the dialogue that unfolds in Unopened Letters invites you to reflect on your own faith journey and inspires you to also respond to the Father. McKenna, Cindy (illustratore).…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Before ATMs and e-transfers, if you needed money, you either had to rush to the bank before close or borrow from someone.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This new translation, with extensive commentary of the Sa?khya Karika ('Verses on Sa?khya') is one of the foundational text of the six Astika schools of Hindu philosophy. It is intended to provide readers with a literal, unadorned English-language version of Sa?khya philosophy of Sage Kapila. The book has an introductory essay on the key ideas and aims of Sa?khya with explanatory notes on each verse. Not only designed for general audience, it can also be used as a study manual by Yoga instructors. Both the translation and the analysis aim to convey the true substance and depth of the Sa?khya philosophy from a practical, actionable point of view using the vernacular of common experience.The supreme object of desire of every human being is the cessation of du?kha, pain and suffering. Sa?khya is that secret to liberate an individual from suffering. In Sa?khya, pleasure, delight, joy, enjoyment, and bliss reside in the absence of pain as Sattva quality of lightness. Du?kha is a duality in Sa?khya, and it nests in the qualities of Tamas as inertia and heaviness. Through Rajas of taking action, an individual can transform from the state of suffering to the state of lithe.Sa?khya inspired Patañjali's Yoga system. Both these systems are adhyatma-vidya, to acquire knowledge and learn about the internal Self and its manifestations. Sa?khya is a samik?a?, a complete investigation to maturely deliberate and reflect in order to acquire knowledge about the Self. By discerning the causes and effects of suffering, insights are gleaned. An individual feels lighter by taking recourse. This is Kaivalyam, a perfectly isolated state of Mind. Empowered with such knowledge, Buddhi, the Intellect, is transformed and with that enlightenment, the individual feels liberated. The essential simplicity of this profound yet simple philosophy of liberation and universal love was committed into a written format in the third to fourth century CE by Isvara K???a. The 'Verses on Sa?khya' formalize and codify centuries of earlier philosophical thinking on liberation from suffering and the means to achieve it in a plain-spoken manner. In other translations and commentaries, its insights have often been shrouded in inaccessible language and words. The meticulous attention to the literal trail-of-meaning Sa?sk?t words maintains the integrity of this ancient text to generate an unembellished interpretation of the verses to convey the essence of Sa?khya in its true 'ungarnished' beauty.…
