Reviews

The writer, having lived as a busy executive and as a cloistered monk for several years, is most qualified to write about this topic. He brings out the essence of eastern philosophy and presents it in a secular and scientific context. This book is practical and helpful for finding balance in this fast paced world and in our relations. Highly recommended! - Amazon E-book reviewer The mark of a good guide is not someone who tells us the answers - but someone who can help us find our own. A guidebook for the spiritually curious, Discover Your Free Mind will help you do just that. Acting as a sherpa to help guide you through the steep, and often treacherous territory of your mind, Mayya doesn't just give you a trail map and tell you where to go. He expects you to navigate and decide what route you want to take for yourself. I'm currently in the midst of my second reading of this book. And, admittedly, much of it has been challenging to understand. But, I suspect that's part of Mayya's method. The wisdom doesn't sail over my head/intellect, leaving me completely lost. Instead, it washes through me, leaving me with the feeling that I'm being steeped in it. It's easy to turn away from teaching like this in the west. If information isn't delivered via an easily-digested top ten list, we tend to dismiss it. Discover Your Free Mind does include lists - but they're not lists of answers. They're lists of questions... If you're serious about exploring the inner depths of your personal spiritual evolution, I encourage you to spend some quality time reading - and rereading - this text. Amazon E-book reviewer Discover Your Free Mind: An Ancient Inquiry is a timely book that addresses the challenges we face during these especially stressful times we are currently living in. Through relating his personal experiences and drawing on his many years of meditation practices, C G Mayya offers a unique and pragmatic perspective on how self-inquiry can be used in specific daily life situations to help us find our Free Mind, a mind free from our social and cultural conditioning, a non-grasping mind that rests in an attitude of let it be. This book will be a valuable reference and source of inspiration for anyone desiring true happiness without conditions. Amazon E-book reviewer
