Before one’s mother, one is always a child. In Amma’s august presence, one is ever a beginner, a spiritual toddler with many more miles to go. In the Way of the Wise, his fourth book, Swami Pranavamritananda Puri delves into how his own spiritual journey was informed by the lives of other seekers–monastics, and lay disciples, as well as peers and pilgrims from centuries past. What enhanced his appreciation of their spiritual charisma was living with Amma, whose sacred presence helps one absorb the subtler aspects of spiritual principles. May this book inspire readers to keep striving to attain their spiritual goals. Published By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.
