Hello,
I am not sure if this is the right place to start this topic.I beg your pardon if i am wrong.
Has anyone read Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now?
If so what do u people fee abt it?
I have read the first two chapters only so far but i dono how its possible to work things out the way Eckhart says.Stop thinking for instance.Being a third person and watching emotions etc...
Any insights into these?
Thanku

Read on.
All the questions you are asking get answered later in the book.

It's quite the most extraordinary piece of work I have read in a long time. I discovered as I went along, (just as you are questioning) that all the questions I was asking, were simply obstacles of resistance, I was naturally building to thwart the clear crystal-cut sharp logic he was stating.
It all makes sense, you just need to keep reading.
You'll need to read much further into the book before everything starts slotting into place and making sense.

But trust me - it will.

Not a problem...

My copy of the book is currently in storage, as I have moved back to the UK from France, and am in much tighter accommodation than previously...
However, it's a great idea to just discuss the book as you go along, and just chat about your thoughts....

feel free to share.... smile

Soul can never be enlightened. It is already enlightened. what we need is - to know the soul by breaking the Maya that surrounds it.
Guru does that in Hinduism.

Once Baba Muktananda was asked. Baba what is the object of human life.
Baba answered- To know your true self. Meaning to know that you are the soul and to recognise the soul. To recognize fully- Aham Brahmasmi.

We should recognize the soul because that is our form. Oncewe know thatwe are the soul , we are out of all the problems forever. Have you read Geeta?
