This book is filled with some of humankind's most powerful ideas, accompanied by strikingly beautiful pictures of daily life in India. I intended to read it "cover-to-cover", but that is the wrong approach, so I have to recommend following the book's opening invitation to simply read one quote (and enjoy its accompanied picture) each day as a morning or evening devotion. There is simply so much to absorb - each quote should be mediated on.

This what I love about this book. Each day there is a quote to reflect on coupled with BEAUTIFUL photographs from India. It is a celebration of all life is.... a celebration of the paradise (with all it's thorns) we live in each day!

"Live your life. That is to say, where you are, with what you are, and with who you are.... Accept the situation in which you find yourself and try, at the same time, to adapt to it. You cannot escape from it.

It's cool to have a book that lasts an entire year :) and it's nice to wake up and know that you'll learn a little ancient wisdom.
