Equanimity is a spiritual virtue that leads to wisdom, but it takes plenty of practice. Ram Dass has the unique perspective of a scientifically trained mind that evolved into a spiritually adept perspective. He makes some cogent observations on the tricky deceptions of the mind and the warps of the Ego. Each thoughtful expression within these pages contains a nugget of knowledge to digest and then express in your individual way. Divided into thematic segments including How It All Is, Love and Devotion, Spiritual Practice, Suffering, Aging, The Guru and Psychedelics, the book contains more than 200 of Dass's pearls of wisdom. This book is indeed a mini-manual for a spiritual life. They challenge us to do inner work and to engage in compassionate action on behalf of others. They’re the perfect quick reminder, to bring clarity and remembrance in the middle of a busy day! For someone new to his fine soul, it is a good collection of common sense and thoughts to ponder.
