More than thirty years ago, an entire generation sought a new way of life, looking for fulfillment and meaning in a way no one had before. Leaving his teaching job at Harvard, Ram Dass embodied the role of spiritual seeker, showing others how to find peace within themselves in one of the greatest spiritual classics of the twentieth century, the two-million-copy bestseller Be Here Now. As many of that generation enter the autumn of their years, the big questions of peace and of purpose have returned demanding answers. And once again, Ram Dass blazes a new trail, inviting all to join him on the next stage of the journey. A refreshingly frank exploration into aging and disease as it hits us now. A sensitive and spiritual approach to facing death and dying. Ram Das helps us deal with difficulties we would not otherwise willingly face. With the benefit of his experience both before and after his stroke, we gain insight into how we might make our way. Not knowing a great deal about Ram Dass or his background and what he stands for I had at least heard of him and decided to see what he had to say in this book. Getting on in years now and having suffered a stroke he imparts upon us his parting wisdom so to speak on how he and most of us will have to come top grips with our eventual decline and departure from this worldly existence. Any ones guess as to where it will take us, Ram Dass does not get into particulars here but does offer some food for thought and consideration in coping with this ultimate and the difficulties of enduring the pain and battle of letting go with as much peace and resignation that each of us must determine for ourselves. There is nothing dense about Ram Dass. One doesn't need to be steeped in the scholarship of whatever topic he is writing about. But he makes you feel...peace. In this book he discusses painful topics, but he does it with no attachment to the pain. He does not claim to be special--far from it! But he does put his faith in a higher power--which he names Maharajji--and I wonder if that isn't his secret. He says he as been blessed with [Fierce Grace]. May we all find such blessings. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
