Body, Mind & Spirit Books

PREFACE BY THE President of the Society for Psychical Research One of the facts which by general consent in the present stage of psychological science require study is the nature, and if possible the cause, of a special lucidity, a sensitiveness of perception, or accessibility to ideas appearing to arrive through channels other than usual organs of sense, which is sometimes met with among simple people... more...

Jeder Mensch führt ein Leben, aber wieviel Menschlichkeit besitzt er? Geburt, Ausbildung, Beruf, Ehe, Kinder, Familie und am Ende... der Tod! Ist dies der Standardzyklus des Lebens, dem man folgen muss? Was ist das Endziel eines solchen Lebens? Warum werden wir geboren? Was wollen wir?

FOREWORD This book is a faithful record, so far as I can make it, of the most marvellous phenomena which have come under my observation during the last sixteen or seventeen years. I have used my notes (made immediately after the sittings) and also my reports to the American Psychical Society (of which I was at one time a director) as the basis of my story. For literary purposes I have substituted... more...

Approach to the Silence Wrong thinking produces inharmony in our body, which in turn produces sickness. Our bodies sometimes are instantly re-harmonized while in the Silence. In the Silence our minds become passive, open, free and loving, at which time the Infinite Master of harmony touches the mental chords of our being and we are well. Just as the piano can be tuned, so can the mind. Man's body... more...

PREFACE In the following pages I have dealt chiefly with the mental or psychological phenomena of psychical research, and have not touched upon the "physical" manifestations to any extent.

It represents the author's... more...

It’s not my fault!” Such situations may feel like the very definition of suffering. In the book “Fault is of the Sufferer”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan provides spiritual solutions to common and... more...

I THE SILENT, SUBTLE BUILDING FORCES OF MIND AND SPIRIT There are moments in the lives of all of us when we catch glimpses of a life—our life—that is infinitely beyond the life we are now living. We realise that we are living below our possibilities. We long for the realisation of the life that we feel should be. Instinctively we perceive that there are within us powers and forces that we are... more...

Si una persona sufre, es a causa de sus propios errores. Si una persona es feliz es por el premio de sus buenas obras. Pero la ley del mundo acusa al “nimit” (el hacedor aparente, la persona que inflige el sufrimiento).La ley Divina pilla al verdadero culpable. Esta ley es exacta y nadie puede cambiarla. No hay ley en este mundo que pueda infligir sufrimiento a nadie, ni siquiera la ley del... more...

Among the myriad of relationships in life, the one between a Guru and disciple is most sacred and unique. In the book “Guru and Disciple”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan provides insight into the nature of the Guru-disciple relationship and offers in-depth answers to questions like: “What are definitions of Guru, and disciple? How is a Guru necessary in spiritual... more...
