The eternal question remains the same in all agesand before all seekers of the truth: "Who am I? and what is the purpose of this life?"Living with the Eternal Truth explains, in simple language, the mainprinciples of Sufism and the techniques of spiritual training as taughtand modified by three great Sufi saints of the past century. The Naqshbandiya Sufis are called the Golden Sufis or the silentSufis because they practice silent meditation. They do not use musicor dancing or any definite practice. They are not limited to anycountry or civilization, but work according to the needs of the peopleat the time. This path is also known as "Raj Yoga," in the sense of being kinglyor royal, and is considered to be a direct road to Absolute Truth, capable of awakening someone to full perfection in this lifetime."One comes nearer to God if there is tranquility and serenityinside the heart. Absolute Truth can be realized only in silence. In this system, the universal Soul speaks to the soulof the individual.... One sheds the ego and purifies the heart, while leading an ordinary life in society."Sufis in this lineage live in this world and enjoy material wealth and possessionswithout being attached to them. Their "way of being" is all-embracing, and can be accepted and incorporated into any religion. For the Sufi, Love is God-"to realize Love is to realize God"-that is, Love radiates from every part of one's being-in prayer, as wellas in service to humanity. This book examines how we have lost our real identity due toignorance of our true nature. To gain eternal bliss, mental balance, and tranquility of mind, we first have to find our true selves. These three profound and revered Masters have so preserved theteachings, explanations and wisdom of their predecessors that thisbook will long be a guide for anyone who truly yearns to become arealized being. | Living With the Eternal Truth by Ravindra Nath, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
