A refreshing approach to the topic of spirituality

The young find that they have confused ‘pleasures’ with ‘happiness’ and ‘comfort’ with ‘inner peace’. This line sure hit home. In a world where we are conditioned that “independence” can be achieved a certain way, people often lose track of what actually gives them true happiness and inner peace.

Published by Rupa Publications, author Aditya Nath’s Awaken Your Soulprint is an eye-opener that explores the subject of “spirituality” and “soulful living” with an absolutely unbiased and unique perspective. The book provides straightforward and clear advice on the importance of discovering your inner self and how you can carve a ‘spiritual’ path for yourself to find your inner self or what he describes as a ‘soulprint’.

Actually, the first chapter’s title, “Don’t sell your Ferrari to be a monk” caught my attention and after reading that chapter, I could not stop flipping the pages. This book is refreshing in its approach to the topic of spirituality. It does not equate ‘spirituality’ with giving-up-worldly-possessions. In fact, it enunciates on how our “material” and our “spiritual” worlds go hand in hand. I cannot agree more with this opinion—when we have created a space for our loved ones in this world and shared a lifetime of memories and joy with them, it is but fair and right to be able to enjoy the material possessions that we have earned via grit and hard work.

Overall, I like the simplicity in which all the concepts and guidelines to achieve a higher existence are explained. This book for me is an easy guide that is helping me on my path to understanding and discovering true happiness and success.

For me, every page resonated wisdom, depth and clarity. I would recommend it to anyone who is searching to create a balance between their inner self and the world around them; to those who have already found the balance and to those who are completely new to this concept of spirituality. Read it, ruminate on it and read it again…
