The Path of Perfection (Yoga Path) (New Print Run)

Description

When we see a book with a title like The Path of Perfection, we may react with a bit of common skepticism: ?Oh, another book claiming to give all the answers. One more do-it-yourself enlightenment scheme.? And certainly it seems that such skepticism is justified nowadays. Our natural desire for ultimate meaning, happiness, enlightenment, liberation, and salvation has become the most exploited commodity of the twentieth century, creating what one contemporary theologian termed a disastrous ?seduction of the spirit.?This seduction is, indeed, the most tragic kind of exploitation. And the unfortunate consequence of this exploitation is a kind of deadening cynicism that discourages our search for self-fulfillment and a means to attain it.
