I usually carry my books on the shoots and currently I am reading The Compassionate Buddha by Anandmurti Gurumaa. It is a book written by my guru. A book that has deeply impacted my life is Walking with a Himalayan Master by Justin O’Brien. It is a book about a spiritual master on his special journey to Himalayas. Though it’s not really a biography; but the book provides beautiful insights into his lifestyle, and his journey in the Himalayas. The book has taught me what life actually is all about.

We have no clue on matters such as why are we born on this earth, what to think and aspire from this life. The book teaches us all that and especially what to focus on and what is really important to us. It provides some very vital lessons to us about human existence.

Over the years, I have read a lot of books by Osho. It is one of the most relaxing activities for me. When I read his books, I feel as if I am talking to a friend. I can pick it up any time of the day and read it irrespective of my mood at that point.
