Overview

Between the fifteenth and the beginning of the eighteenth century, ten men developed a revolutionary worldview, a philosophy, a culture and a religion that now - only six centuries later - has 30 million followers worldwide. It is the newest and most modern world religion. At its foundation is a philosophy that is stunning in its ability to change lives for the better. Yet those insights are not widely known. This book aims to make the wisdom of the Sikh gurus available to people of any religion or none. This book is for you if you're curious about how philosophies and spirituality can change your life. If you believe that enriching your mind with new thoughts can bring you happiness, abundance, deep personal relationships, then read on. If you want to learn how certain exercises of the mind can free you from anxiety and worry forever and replace them with indestructible happiness and optimism, this is aimed at you. This book does not: Ask you to change your religion or join a sect (in fact it asks you to be sceptical of empty religious rituals and commandments) Need you to believe in God (in fact atheists should be able to take many valuable insights from this book without changing their mind about God) Suggest you say prayers or recite mantras (in fact it encourages you to aim for a deep understanding of your place in the universe, not to put faith in words that mean nothing to you) Require you to change your diet or lifestyle (in fact it wants you to lead whatever life makes you happy, so long as it really truly makes you happy!) Ask you to follow anyone or anything (apart from your own wisdom and willingness to develop) Yes, this book is about the wisdom of a group of men who from 15th century Northern India founded a world religion but it is not about converting you to their beliefs. It aims simply to make their wisdom known more widely and to share elements of their thinking that are profoundly helpful in bringing happiness to a complex world. It demonstrates how lasting happiness and abundance can come to your life through a deeper understanding of the world and our place in it through a discussion of several riddles: - why do we perceive many separate things if all is one? - how can we be expected to make moral choices in our actions if all is one? - how can we be fully spiritual and yet immersed in the struggles of the world?
