Best read when you have practised some meditation techniques or read another meditation book before this one. (If you are new to meditation and want to practice it but have no idea what it is, go read “Headspace” By Andy Pudicombi. A memoir-like book that guides you and inspires you to meditate)
One of the most eloquent and accurate books to describe what meditation really is and how meditation, an Eastern tradition, is actually quite the same as the heart of prayer and other Western traditions. (Rupert has another book in this 3-book-series, "The Heart of Prayer") Rupert Spira is oddly and inappropriately labelled as a spiritual leader. Still, he is not selling religion and rarely uses the words spirit or God but only when making quotations or references. He is just basically directly mentioning what religion all around the world are trying to tell you where your peace and happiness lies and it is not found in your thoughts, feelings, perceptions and all the external objects that stimulate you through your five senses but rather it lies in which knows or as aware of all your internal and external experiences
