Seeing With the Eyes of Love by Eknath Easwaran
Reflecting on a celebrated passage from The Imitation of Christ - one of the most enduring Christian documents of all time - Eknath Easwaran offers insights into the practical means to make Jesus' love come alive in everyday life. This warm, anecdotal book shows us what love is, how to love more effectively, and how to overcome obstacles to loving more fully. Drawing on his wide experience as a teacher of meditation and his intimate knowledge of the Christian mystical tradition, Easwaran gives exhilarating glimpses of what love means to Christian mystics like Augustine, Teresa of Avila, Catherine of Genoa, and others. An essay by Carol Lee Flinders relates the personal story of Thomas a Kempis and a short overview of the flowering of mysticism in the late Middle Ages. Included are brief instructions in eight basic spiritual practices that anyone can use in his or her present context to strengthen the capacity to love.Eknath Easwaran (1910–1999) is respected around the world as a teacher of meditation and an authentic guide to world wisdom. His method of passage meditation fits within any faith, philosophy, or lifestyle. In 1961 Easwaran founded the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation, which carries on his work today.
Easwaran's books include commentaries on the great saints and sages of the world's traditions and have been translated into 26 languages. His translations of the Indian spiritual classics (The Bhagavad Gita, The Upanishads and The Dhammapada) have been widely acclaimed and are all bestsellers in their field, and more than 2 million of his books are in print.
A gifted teacher who lived for many years in the West, Easwaran lived what he taught, giving him enduring appeal as a teacher and author of deep insight and warmth.
