Rating:  Summary: A rare find Review: I've seen this book referenced more than a dozen times by Wilber in his books so when the book presented itself I jumped at it. It's not a book written by Aurobindo but personal instruction to those who have written to him seeking guidance. This book is packed with the knowledge of one of India's most accomplished saints. This book reveals valuable insights for the spiritual traveler as well as a road map of the journey. A book I would say is indispensable for anyone on the path.
Rating:  Summary: Yogic Ways for the victory over life's battles Review: This book is for those who want to conquer their everyday problems for ever and not seek temporary escape from them. Besides it is written in easy prose. You could open this book when Tylenol fails to bring sleep after a bad day, and assure yourself of a good dream. Or you can read it first thing in the morning to prepare yourself for a great day ahead! It is not a typical book that you must begin on its first page. It is a compilation of individual solutions that were arrived at by Sri Aurobindo after his experiments with Integral Yoga. Depending on what area of your life you are seeking to deal with on a given day, you can jump to the topic directly. Whether you are seeking a higher peace or running away from your lower order problems, it is a book for you, for your spouse, for your child and for your parent. If you want to raise your purpose in this life to a higher possibility then this book is your best chance.
Rating:  Summary: Deep , Intense Review: This is one deep book. Aurobindo is masterful in his analysis of the mind & brain, especially its limitations. As a person approaching everything in life via intellect I found his explanations right on the dot & revealing. He explains why we need to transcend our faculties to something higher. One can make more sense of the book if accompanied by spiritual practice & experience to relate to. Not for the faint hearted.
