A 2 cd set by Sri Eknath Easwaran has helped immensely… I highly recommend it!! He is an Eastern philosophy teacher who has spread his teachings all over the world. He is mainly known through word of mouth and has made no attempt to become famous or well known. He is simply respected for his wisdom and insight. He says many profound things and tells stories with a depth and clarity that many strive to achieve but can’t really come close. Easwaran does all of this without any agenda and maintains his sense of humor. His outlook on life and his “lightness” are a welcome blessing, endlessly inspiring. Worth a listen (or many!) Only $20 at Barnes and Noble – a steal compared to what others try to rip off, and twice as effective.
