Eknath Easwaran

Nilgiri Press, 2000 - Body, Mind & Spirit - 234 pages

Our deepest need is to love completely, universally, without reservation -- in other words, to become love itself. Where there is love, everything follows. To love is to know, is to act; all other paths to God are united in this path of love.

In form a verse-by-verse reading of a chapter on devotion from the Bhagavad Gita -- the most popular spiritual document of India -- Eknath Easwaran's words of practical wisdom guide us through the nitty-gritty challenges of everyday love, showing:
-- How to deepen our love for all those around us
-- How to seek the divine in all our relationships
-- What is means to "love the Lord"
-- Why it is so difficult to change entrenched habits -- and how to make those changes
-- Effective spiritual practices for learning to love
