A rational take on spiritualism By Randeep Wadehra


The mystic eye by Sadhguru

Jaico, Mumbai. Pages: x+262. Price: Rs. 250/-

Spiritualism, as a concept, is dynamic enough to include both the conformist and the heretic. So, you can be spiritual without being religious. Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev is certainly an unusual spiritual guru who does not want “to make spirituality into a bundle of symbols”. He would rather concentrate on making spirituality a practicable concept – something that one should be able to understand rationally and benefit from its application. Although, in this volume – written in interview format – Sadhguru deals with such subjects as after-life, enlightenment and God, one finds his discourse on Dhyanalinga quite absorbing. Pointing out that the whole aspect of Shiva and Shakti is about duality of life he avers that our sense organs enhance this duality, which in turn is the source of all pleasures and pains in the world.
