THE BOOKS OF EKNATH EASWARAN PASSAGE MEDITATION

This is the secret of meditation: we become what we meditate on.

- Eknath Easwaran

This companion volume to Timeless Wisdom is an introduction to Easwarans method of meditation, in which we choose inspirational passages that embody our highest ideals and send them deep into consciousness through slow, sustained attention. Our passages become lifelines, taking us to the source of wisdom deep within and then guiding us through the challenges of daily life.

Universal and dogma-free, passage meditation is part of Easwarans eight-point program of practical skills. Based on traditional spiritual practices but adjusted for modern lifestyles, Passage Meditation goes step by step through each point of Easwarans program, showing us how to stay calm and focused at work and at home.

THE BOOKS OF EKNATH EASWARAN CLASSICS OF INDIAN SPIRITUALITY

These timeless, universal texts from the Indian wisdom traditions address the fundamental questions of life. Speaking to us directly, all three classics assure us if we make wise choices, everything that matters in life is within human reach. All three editions by Easwaran are best-sellers in their class.

No one in modern times is more qualified - no, make that as qualified - to translate the epochal Classics of Indian Spirituality than Eknath Easwaran. And the reason is clear. It is impossible to get to the heart of those clas- sics unless you live them, and he did live them. My admiration of the man and his works is boundless.

- Huston Smith, author of The Worlds Religions

SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI

The Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.
