by Dada Bhagwanमनुष्य जीवनाचे ध्येय काय आहे? माणूस जन्म घेतो तेव्हापासूनच संसार चक्रामध्ये फसून लोकांच्या म्हणण्याप्रमाणे वागतो.परम पूज्य दादा भगवान म्हणतात, मनुष्य जन्म चार गतिंचे जंक्शन आहे. जिथून देवगति, जनावरगतिमध्ये जाण्याचा रस्ता मोकळा होतो. ज्या प्रकारचे बी पेरले आहे आणि ज्या कारणांचे सेवन केले आहे, त्या गतिमध्ये जावे लागते.मग या जन्म मरणाच्या फेऱ्यातून मुक्ती केव्हा मिळेल? दादाजी आपल्याला सांगतात की, ‘मानवता’ किंवा ‘मानवधर्माची’ सर्वोत्तम व्याख्या हीच आहे की, कोणी तुम्हाला दुःख दिले, ते जर तुम्हाला आवडत नसेल तर तुम्ही सुद्धा दुसऱ्यांना दुःख होईल असा व्यवहार करू नये. पुढच्या जन्मी नर्कगति किंवा जनावर गतिमध्ये जायचे नसेल तर मानवधर्माचे नेहमी पालन केले पाहिजे. याविषयी अधिक माहिती प्राप्त करण्यासाठी हे पुस्तक अवश्य वाचा. आणि आपले मनुष्य जीवन सार्थक करा.
The Mandala of Being
by Richard MossThe Mandala of Being shows us why and how we habitually obstruct our innate potential for what Richard Moss calls radical aliveness, a life of authenticity, overflowing energy, and joy. In these pages, Richard Moss gives us an effective practice that is readily incorporated into day-to-day life. It illustrates that there are in fact only four places our minds ever go when we leave the Now -- the past, the future, judgments of ourselves, and judgments of others. It allows us to trace precisely the path we have taken away from our most authentic and essential being whenever we are not fully present, and simultaneously shows us the way home. Drawing from his profound self-realization and more than three decades of working with people of diverse backgrounds, Richard Moss accompanies and encourages the reader on a journey toward freedom from fear and any other limiting or threatening feeling. Deep self-understanding, inner ease, spontaneous healing, more fulfilling relationships, and enhanced creativity are all wonderful blessings that can arise from reading and reflecting on The Mandala of Being.
