"Usedness has no need to enter the soul", wrote a 14th-century mystic. It is there already, simply unperceived. Discovering Your Hidden Spiritual Resources is Eknath Easwaran's phrase for the spark of divinity hidden in every one of us that can energize our lives. Love, compassion, meaning, hope and freedom from fear are not qualities we need to acquire, Easwaran points out. We simply need to uncover what we already have and in this book he shows us how. Throughout, the book is enlivened with inspiring quotes from some of the greatest mystics -among them Meister Eckhart, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Teresa of Avila and John Ruysbroeck. Full of helpful suggestions for making spiritual ideals a practical part of daily life, this book will appeal to people who want to learn how to meditate.
