Las mejores son trazos de lo que sucede en la vida real, en la comunidad y en los procesos mentales del individuo."

Why do bad things happen to good people? Is there really any justice in the world? Since ancient times the secret doctrine has taught the law of karma and its twin doctrine, reincarnation, as an explanation to these and many other mysteries of human life. Ceaseless in its operation, the cycles of cause and effect bear alike upon solar systems, planets, nations, families, and individuals. Karma means action, and our minds are the real planes of action.

Ramana Maharishi war erst 21 Jahre alt, als er die Grundlage für das Büchlein "Nan Yar? Wer bin ich?" schuf, ohne dass er je die Absicht hatte, ein Buch über seine Lehre zu schreiben. Er wohnte in einer Höhle auf dem Arunachala. Obwohl er in jener Zeit nicht sprach, fühlten die Menschen instinktiv, dass er ein Weiser war und kamen mit ihren spirituellen Fragen und Problemen zu ihm. Einer von ihnen war Sivaprakasam Pillai, ein Philosoph, der bei einer Finanzbehörde beschäftigt war.

The investigator who seeks to develop exact and careful conception of realities in a realm as temperamental as the occult faces from the beginning unsuspected difficulties. Every defining term as well as every accepted teaching and doctrine is variously interpreted by the different groups of students. Here is a field in which the most sincere teachers are swept into narrow prejudice by the sheer fire of their enthusiasm and so seem universally to emphasize their differences one from the other when they could as well build upon a meeting ground of common understanding.

In Game of Life, Kin Lau examines disparate ideas from philosophy, psychology, and religions from both East and West that can engage the individual on a common path. The game of life is to be played in two modes. One mode is playing as a human, which is the mode we are exerting all of our time and effort. For a more complete and integrated way of living, human beings need to rediscover the other mode. The other mode is about our being, which involves understanding the nature of reality.

Legendary Chinese general Sun Tzu's irreplaceable treatise on management of organized combat, philosophy, tactics, and espionage is one of the earliest and most celebrated works of military literature.

There are many religions on Earth. Although the meaning of religion may vary from person to person, all religions generally profess sublime teaching. Great religions clearly acknowledge and understand the value of human life and guide humanity accordingly.

In a darkened room, a group of men once sought to examine an elephant. Taking hold of a different part - an ear, a leg, the tail - each one mistook his particular part for the whole. In the darkness each of the men became convinced that the elephant was the object he had felt - a fan, a rope, a pillar, and so on. With this ancient fable, first described by the Sufi Master Jalaluddin Rumi, Idries Shah presents the Sufi perspective that Christianity and Islam stem from one inner origin.
