Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The mind itself is a digression - or so I am told.Somewhere between a poem scribbled past midnight and a four-hour phone call about God, China, and the meaning of it all, this book was born. It is a collection for the seekers, the misfits, the over-thinkers, and the quietly restless - the "slightly weird folks" who have spent a lifetime chasing the Truth, only to be told that whatever the mind understands is still not it.D. Samarender Reddy writes from that beautiful, maddening edge. Across more than a hundred pieces - original poems, candid confessions, and probing philosophical dialogues - he moves with disarming honesty between the sacred and the absurd, the sublime and the everyday. One moment he is arguing with God ("As I see it, it is all your fault"); the next he is sitting in silent reverence before the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, J. Krishnamurti, and the Upanishads.This is a book about the spiritual life as it is actually lived - not the polished version. It asks the questions most of us are too busy to ask: Does companionship help or hinder the search for the Self?Is the relentless pursuit of "more and more" the root of our suffering?What remains when thought finally falls silent?Can one be deeply devoted to the inner path and still ache with love, loneliness, and longing?Drawing on Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Western philosophy, and world poetry - from Wordsworth and Neruda to Frost, Rimbaud, and Nietzsche - Reddy weaves Eastern wisdom and Western thought into a single, intimate conversation. His poems range from the tender to the irreverent; his reflections from razor-sharp clarity to playful self-mockery. Throughout, there is the warmth of a fellow traveller who refuses to pretend he has arrived.For readers of Rumi, Kahlil Gibran, Mary Oliver, and Nisargadatta - and for anyone who has ever felt out of step with the world and wondered whether the fault lies with them or with the world.If you have ever marched to a different drummer, if silence speaks to you louder than words, if you suspect that happiness was never "out there" to begin with - this book was written for you.Take heart. You are not alone. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
