Paul Brunton, a British philosopher, writer and teacher traveled to India in the 1930s and met the sage, Ramana Maharshi. Brunton was among those who brought Eastern teachings to the West and one of the greatest teachers of Hinduism of the 20th Century. Selections from his posthumously published works were compiled into this guide to the spiritual path: the Long Path of step by step purification and practices, and the Short Path of surrender and oneness. As Brunton makes clear, the Long Path is necessary preparation for the Short Path, although to some extent both may be undertaken together. His brief, pithy passages present a virtual road map to Self Realization: concise, practical, no-nonsense, yet very kind, wise and high. Readers will be helped to discover where they are on their own path, and how to move on. Enlightenment is always immediate when it happens; here is some solid guidance on diving into the ocean of Grace.-- Light of Consciousness magazine

Author Information

Paul Brunton helps us hear the melody behind the medley of today's ""spiritual marketplace."" His late writings raise the bar for what we can expect of spiritual teachings and teachers, and what we can do for ourselves. Born in London in 1898, he soon became a leading pioneer of much of what we now take for granted. He traveled widely throughout the world (long before it was fashionable) to meet living masters of various traditions with whom he then lived and studied. His eleven early books from 1934-1952 shared much of what he learned, and helped set the stage for dramatic east-west exchanges of the late 20th century.
