Swami Muktananda offers, in straightforward and often humorous language, an understanding of meditation.
This revised edition includes a new chapter by Gurumayi Chidvilasananda. "Meditation is looking within," says Gurumayi. "Look within. Meditate. You will find your own peace. You will find your own treasure."
"This book is a specific and practical how-to primer of meditation, but it is more than an outline of a method. It is itself a meditation experience when read with a certain open detachment and sense of venture." -- Joseph Chilton Pearce
