Hakikat üzerine güzel bir kitap, karma, reenkarnasyon, yoga, meditasyon kavramlarını güzel açıklıyor, özellikle öze giden yoldan uzaklaşmamak ve farkındalık için meditasyonun önemini...
Kısaca: Hakikat, sadece olandır. Var edilemez çünkü zaten vardır. Her birey tarafından içteki değişmez Öz'de algılanmalır.

So wonderful. This is excellent for reading a few passages before bed or just anytime to constantly keep reminding yourself to remember God.
