Part 1, "The Religious Urge", carefully distinguishes the heart's
ineradicable religious instinct from cultural trappings and
conventional religious forms. It also evaluates services and
dis-services of institutional religion and points to ways in which
the current spiritual impulse is likely to unfold. Part 2, "The
Reverential Life", gives an individualised, practical approach to
honest communion with the sacred through intelligent devotion,
reverence, prayer, and mature humility. It features a section on
what Grace is, and how it can open us to the sacredness of each
moment of life.
Paul Brunton gives voice to the profound teachings of immediate
spiritual awakening that have the power to short circuit the seeker
in us and reveal the true nature of reality here and now.
Adyashanti People who enjoy Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now, A New
Earth), Michael A. Singer (The Untethered Soul), or Adyashanti
(Emptiness Dancing) will enjoy and benefit greatly from The Short
Path to Enlightenment. These accessible teachings distill the
essence of Advaita Vedanta, Zen, Sufism, Dzogchen Brunton calls
them Short Path teachings. A simple recognition, a brief moment of
grace, can make what seemed like a far-off spiritual goal actual
here and now. But we need reliable pointers for how and where to
look. This compilation of gems distills the essence and effective
practices of this path in direct, jargon-free language useful to
followers of any or no particular tradition. The true gift of this
wonderful book, says Adyashanti, is in how nuanced and subtle Paul
Brunton understood these profound and transformational teachings
and how directly he conveys them. Read this book as you would a
scripture or a sutra and let it open your eyes to eternity.
Includes: How to move from the Long Path of spiritual disciplines
to the Short Path of direct insight Short Path exercises
Experiences that may occur Warnings Stages of realization The

spiritual leaders of the Orient. Often reading like a colourful
travelogue, it has sections on India, China, Angkor Wat, Ceylon,
Japan, Egypt, Tibet, and other Himalayan countries. The book
emphasises that East and West can (and must) learn from and teach
one another as we stumble toward global community. It includes
notes on great teachers and schools of thought.
Part 1, "Human Experience" explores the spiritual lessons implicit

spiritual growth. Part 2, "The Arts in Culture", reverently
explores the role of the Beautiful in human culture, with sections
on inspired art, creativity, genius, and the relationship of art
and spiritual life.

Illustrated Edition. Paul Brunton (1898 - 1981) was a British
philosopher, mystic, traveler, and guru. He left a journalistic
career to live among yogis, mystics, and holy men, and studied
Eastern and Western esoteric teachings. Dedicating his life to an
inward and spiritual quest, Brunton felt charged to communicate his
experiences about what he learned in the east to others. His works
had a major influence on the spread of Eastern mysticism to the
West. Taking pains to express his thoughts in layperson's terms,
Brunton was able to present what he learned from the Orient and
from ancient tradition as a living wisdom. His writings express his
view that meditation and the inward quest are not exclusively for
monks and hermits, but will also support those living normal,
active lives in the Western world. Brunton is credited with
introducing Ramana Maharshi to the West through his book "A Search
in Secret India" and "The Secret Path."
This early work on spirituality is both expensive and hard to find
in its first edition. It outlines ideas of karma, mentalism,
metaphysics and much more. This is a fascinating work and highly
recommended for anyone interested in the eastern mystical
traditions. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
