verderebelde's review against another edition

Está bien, tiene infinitas frases célebres, pero creo que hay demasiado hipe y no no me parece para tanto.
Muchas frases bonitas juntas. Desde luego no debo de estar receptivo a que me cambie la vida...
Igual la gente tiene unas vidas un tanto vacuas como para que un libro les cambie la vida, aunque sea sobre meditar... Leer sobre ello y hacerlo son dos cosas distintas...

Nice little book for those thinking about starting to meditate. Basic introduction to the benefits of meditation. If like me, you've been meditating for years, it probably isn't an enlightening book. The writing isn't bad but it isn't stellar either. I will hand it to d'Ors, he keeps a very simple writing that makes the reading very easy. That in itself is quite an achievement when reading meditation books.

This small book was a total impulse choice at the library. I was a bit surprised by how much I liked it. The essays are both deeply personal as well as written by someone with such spiritual/emotional knowledge as to make it often feel quite universal. Yet a thought that kept nagging me as I read was -- how universal is this, really? What privileges of privacy, stability, self-direction afforded to a priest/author are not applicable to the common reader? And how many of his claims of the universal accessibility and benefits of meditation do not consider limitations of poverty and mental illness?
It's easy to say that such issues are beyond the scope of this tiny book, but still, they weighed on my mind. Even as I both enjoyed this book and found it persuasive. So much so that I instigated a joint meditation practice with a friend. Which fell apart within a few weeks, more because new habits are hard than any judgement or lack of appreciation of the meditation itself.
A lovely book. I might be tempted to read more by d'Ors should translations become available.
