Summary of eknath easwaran's passage meditation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi is a good starting point for beginners. It is a prayer that draws on the spiritual wisdom this gentle friar drew upon when he undertook the most impressive task a human being is capable of: the total transformation of character, conduct, and consciousness. #2 The best are like water, benefiting everyone and not competing. They dwell in lowly spots that everyone else scorns. They find themselves in the foremost place and come very close to the Tao. #3 During meditation, we try to pull out the plugs so we can concentrate more fully on the words of the passage. To disconnect the senses, such as leaving the world of sound behind, is difficult. #4 As you go through the words one by one, think about how they sound and their meaning. As you concentrate on each word, let it fall into your consciousness and ignore the distractions around you.
