Using analogies, parables, stories and poems, different stages of the path are illustrated, and the obstacles that the same mind causes in the seeker of Truth are exposed.The goal is the encounter with oneself, the Realization of the True Self, and it is proposed to sahaj-samadhi as the last experience prior to Realization.The text refers to the planes of consciousness, as well as a large number of meditation techniques that allow the seeker to find the way to walk the inner path. In the present text reference is also made to the uselessness and dangerousness of automatisms and dogmatic attitudes. Meditation is presented as a valuable tool for the development of capacities and new insights.Being a Doctor in Natural Sciences and a student of oriental philosophies with many trips made to India, the author uses references from science and techniques and arts from the East to explain, develop and analyze the experiences that he tells in his book .
