Aging Matters: Finding Your Calling for the Rest of Your Life
by R. Paul StevensAcademy of Parish Clergy’s Top Ten Books for Parish Ministry Vocational discernment, says R. Paul Stevens, is a lifelong process — one that takes on even more significance in later life. In this book Stevens argues that our calling does not end with formal retirement; to the contrary, we do well to keep on working, if possible, till life's end. Stevens delves into matters of calling, spirituality, and legacy in retirement, showing that we must continue to discern our vocation as we grow older in order to remain meaningfully engaged for the rest of our lives. He reframes retirement as a time of continued calling and productivity and points to biblical wisdom that can help us redefine aging as an extraordinarily fruitful season of life.
Ahinsa: अहिंसा
by Dada Bhagwanइन छोटे-छोटे जीवों को मारना, वह द्रव्यहिंसा कहलाता है और किसी को मानसिक दुःख देना, किसी पर क्रोध करना, गुस्सा होना, वह सब भावहिंसा कहलाता है। लोग चाहे जितनी अहिंसा पाले, लेकिन अहिंसा इतनी आसानी से नहीं पाली जा सकती। और वास्तव में क्रोध-मान-माया-लोभ ही हिंसा हैं। द्रव्यहिंसा कुदरत के लिखे अनुसार ही चलती है। इसमें किसी का चले, ऐसा नहीं है। इसलिए भगवान ने तो क्या कहा है कि सबसे पहले, खुद को कषाय नहीं हो, ऐसा करना। क्योंकि ये क्रोध-मान-माया-लोभ, वे सबसे बड़ी हिंसा हैं। द्रव्यहिंसा हो तो भले हो, लेकिन भाव हिंसा नहीं होनी चाहिए। लेकिन लोग तो द्रव्यहिंसा रोकते हैं और भाव हिंसा तो चलती ही रहती है। इसलिए किसी ने निश्चित किया हो कि “मुझे तो मारने ही नहीं हैं” तो भाग्य में कोई मरने नहीं आता। अब वैसे तो उसने स्थूल हिंसा बंद कर दी, कि मुझे किसी जीव को मारना ही नहीं है। लेकिन बुद्धि से मारना, ऐसा निश्चित किया, तो उसका बाज़ार खुला ही रहता है। तब वहाँ कीट पतंगे टकराते रहते हैं। और वह भी हिंसा ही है न! अहिंसा के बारे में इस काल के ज्ञानी, परम पूज्य दादाश्री के श्रीमुख से निकली हुई वाणी, इस ग्रंथ में संकलित की गई है। इसमें हिंसा और अहिंसा – दोनों के तमाम रहस्यों से पर्दा हटाया है।

Ahinsa: અહિંસા
by Dada Bhagwanપ્રાણીઓ, જીવજંતુ અને નાના જીવોને મારવા તે દ્રવ્ય હિંસા છે. અને બીજાને માનસિક સંતાપ આપવો, બીજા ઉપર ક્રોધ કરવો તે ભાવ હિંસા છે. માણસ ખૂબ જ પ્રયત્ન કરે છતાંપણ અહિંસક રહેવું અઘરું છે. હકીકત માં ક્રોધ, મિથ્યાભિમાન, આસક્તિ, લોભ એ ખરી હિંસા છે. દ્રવ્ય હિંસા કુદરતના કાયદા પ્રમાણે ચાલ્યા કરે છે અને તે કોઈના વશમાં નથી. કષાય ( ખરાબ ભાવ, વર્તન કે વાણી ) એ સૌથી મોટી હિંસા છે અને તેથી ભગવાને કહ્યું કે સૌથી વધારે મહત્વનું કષાય ન કરવા તે છે. આ પ્રકારની હિંસા એટલે સ્વ હિંસા અથવા ભાવ હિંસા. જો દ્રવ્ય હિંસા થાય, તો તેને થવા દો, પરંતુ કોઈપણ સંજોગો માં ભાવ હિંસા ના થવા દેવી જોઈએ. તેને બદલે લોકો દ્રવ્ય હિંસા રોકવાના પ્રયત્નો કરે છે અને ભાવ હિંસા કર્યે રાખે છે. જો કોઈ વ્યક્તિ પોતાના મનમાં નિશ્ચય કરે કે કોઈપણ સંજોગોમાં તે કોઈ જીવ ને નહિ મારે તો તે કોઈપણ જીવ હિંસામાં નિમિત્ત નહિ બને. એવા લોકો છે જેઓ દ્રવ્ય હિંસા રોકવા મક્કમ છે. તેઓ દેખીતી જીવ હિંસા અટકાવી શકશે. છતાંપણ જો તેઓ વેપારમાં પોતાની બુદ્ધિથી બીજાનો ફાયદો ઉઠાવે છે તો અને પોતાના લોભથી તેઓ ભાવ હિંસા કરવાનું ચાલુ જ રાખે છે. આ બધી હિંસા જ છે. સ્થૂળ કે સૂક્ષ્મ, હિંસા અહિંસા વિષે જ્ઞાની પુરુષે જાતે ખુલ્લું કર્યું છે તે પ્રમાણે આગળ વધારો જાણો. જેઓ અહિંસા પાળી ને મુક્તિના માર્ગે આગળ વધવા માગે છે તેને આ વાંચન નિશંક રીતે મદદગાર સાબિત થશે.

Al Este - Una novela
by Peri Hoskins"...en una palabra: extraordinario.” V. Scipione, Agente Literario norteamericano. "Su forma de escribir es magnífica… Si hay algún escritor que me recuerde a Hoskins, ese sería John Steinbeck. Pero en vez del norte de California y el Valle de Salinas, descubrimos Australia y Nueva Zelanda.” - R. Simmons, de Readers’ Favorite. "... El resultado es una historia en la carretera donde se producen descubrimientos y conexiones entre personas, elevándolas a un nuevo nivel de introspección y crecimiento, de forma que ‘Al Este’ se convierte en una novela altamente recomendable para lectores a los que les gustan las historias introspectivas y las aventuras, y a los que consideran la experiencia de viajar por carretera como un estímulo a la hora de tomar decisiones.” - D. Donovan, Crítico autorizado, Midwest Book Review "Este es un libro que termina haciendo que me cuestione mi propia vida y hacia dónde se dirige- que me haga preguntarme cómo podría yo cambiar mi rutina por algo mucho más excitante.” - Christine Frayling, Asociación de libreros de Nueva Zelanda. "Qué captura tan extraordinaria de una humanidad desnuda y sin adulterar, con todos sus matices, sus luces y sus sombras. Lo leí en muy poco tiempo, no podía dejar de hacerlo… De verdad, de verdad que disfruté de la lectura muchísimo.” - Teresa Herleth Lleva una vida ordenada. Trabaja duro. Paga tus impuestos.

Albert Schweitzer: The Man and His Mind [5th Revised Edition]
by George SeaverThe definitive biography of one of the titans of our time, together with a full appreciation of his revolutionary thought and writings, is now revised to include new materials on the eighth decade of Dr. Schweitzer's life and work at Lambaréné.The book tells two exciting stories: the outward events of Schweitzer's life--his childhood in Alsace, his career in Strasbourg, his organ studies and recitals, his decision to become a medical missionary in Africa, and his long labors there; and a review of his great intellectual and spiritual contributions--his upsetting of Biblical criticism, his profound insights into Christ, St. Paul, Bach and Goethe, his philosophy of civilization and reverence for life."Seaver's book is without equal in opening to us simply and clearly a view of the life and mind of Schweitzer of Lambaréné, Africa, Europe and the World."--Christian Century"Mark this down as a great biography of a man whom many regard as our greatest living contemporary."--Living Church"Step by step Seaver leads the reader to look at life with Schweitzer, in order to understand his attitude toward Greek eudaemonism, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and finally the building up of his affirmation [Reverence for Life]...Those of us who seek to understand the meaning of Schweitzer's life and thought and 'realized fellowship with the living Christ's must master this tiny book, so filled with spiritual reality."--EDWARD H. HUME"Dr. Seaver's excellent work should appeal not only to Schweitzer's many admires, but to those anxious to find a way out of the baffling labyrinth of current world conditions."--Christian Century"This swift yet fundamental survey of one whole trend in the intellectual life of man is a remarkable piece of work. It proves that Schweitzer is one of the great thinkers of our time."--JOHN HAYNES HOLMES

All about Them: Grow Your Business by Focusing on Others
by Bob Burg Bruce TurkelThe best companies and most successful salespeople live by a three-word mantra—"all about them"—because when they relentlessly focus their brand on their customers instead of themselves, their businesses flourish. All about Them shows readers how to use this simple but extremely powerful influencing technique. Bruce Turkel, who has advised some of the world's greatest companies, including American Express and Bacardi, lays the groundwork by relating his personal journey of discovery to the "All about Them" principle. He goes on to explore our technology-driven, hyper- connected culture; the power of storytelling (and story-selling); brand authenticity and transparency; and more.
America the Anxious: Why Our Search for Happiness Is Driving Us Crazy and How to Find It for Real
by Ruth WhippmanNAMED ONE OF THE 40 BEST BOOKS BY THE NEW YORK POSTA New York Times Editor's Choice pick“Ruth Whippman is my new favorite cultural critic...a shrewd, hilarious analysis.” —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B (coauthored with Sheryl Sandberg)"I don't think I've enjoyed cultural observations this much since David Foster Wallace's A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. Reading this book is like touring America with a scary-smart friend who can't stop elbowing you in the ribs and saying, "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?!" If you want to understand why our culture incites pure dread and alienation in so many of us (often without always recognizing it), read this book." —Heather Havrilesky, writer behind "Ask Polly" for New York Magazine and nationally bestselling author of How to Be a Person in the WorldAre you happy? Right now? Happy enough? As happy as everyone else? Could you be happier if you tried harder?After she packed up her British worldview (that most things were basically rubbish) and moved to America, journalist and documentary filmmaker Ruth Whippman found herself increasingly perplexed by the American obsession with one topic above all others: happiness. The subject came up everywhere: at the playground swings, at the meat counter in the supermarket, and even—legs in stirrups—at the gynecologist.The omnipresence of these happiness conversations (trading tips, humble-bragging successes, offering unsolicited advice) wouldn’t let her go, and so Ruth did some digging. What she found was a paradox: despite the fact that Americans spend more time and money in search of happiness than any other nation on earth, research shows that the United States is one of the least contented, most anxious countries in the developed world. Stoked by a multi-billion dollar “happiness industrial complex” intent on selling the promise of bliss, America appeared to be driving itself crazy in pursuit of contentment.So Ruth set out to get to the bottom of this contradiction, embarking on an uproarious pilgrimage to investigate how this national obsession infiltrates all areas of life, from religion to parenting, the workplace to academia. She attends a controversial self-help course that promises total transformation, where she learns all her problems are all her own fault; visits a “happiness city” in the Nevada desert and explores why it has one of the highest suicide rates in America; delves into the darker truths behind the influential academic “positive psychology movement”; and ventures to Utah to spend time with the Mormons, officially America’s happiest people.What she finds, ultimately, and presents in America the Anxious, is a rigorously researched yet universal answer, and one that comes absolutely free of charge.
Amor Increíble

Amor Puro
by Dada BhagwanPara aqueles que se perguntam como levar uma vida espiritual, o Amor Puro emerge como um valor essencial. Naturalmente se começa a indagar sobre o significado maior do amor, do verdadeiro amor e do amor incondicional. Outras questões também podem surgir, como por exemplo: Para cultivar o amor incondicional, é necessário o perdão? Em caso afirmativo, como posso aprender a praticar a oração do perdão? No contexto do amor incondicional, o que é o casamento? Pode um relacionamento de marido e mulher se transformar em viver por amor e, por fim, tornar-se um exemplo de amor supremo? No livro "Puro Amor", Gnani Purush (encarnação do Autoconhecimento) Dada Bhagwan oferece uma definição profunda, e explicação do amor incondicional, e descreve como o Amor Puro cresce naturalmente com o desenvolvimento espiritual. Dadashri explica que o conhecimento do Ser e o desabrochar do Amor Puro é um dos sinais do despertar espiritual. Este recurso sobre o tema do Amor Puro provará ser inestimável para iniciar o caminho espiritual.

An Everyday Guide to Joy & Abundance: A New Approach to Living with Ease
by Beth Wonson Mary Kay StengerBeth Wonson and Mary Kay Stenger, Ph.D., two highly accomplished professionals, have teamed together to write an extraordinary book that tells the story of Beth's personal healing and transformation. Today Beth is one of the country's most sought-after speakers, coaches and trainers in the fi elds of career management and personal growth. Writes Beth: "If you are looking for more in your life, I know how you're feeling, because this is what happened to me. I got the jolt: my relationship went sour and the fire in my life, in me, suddenly started to go out. For a while I continued along until I realized I felt like I was on a hamster wheel, merely turning round and around and going nowhere." Beth's transformation was magical and so was the healing process, thanks to Dr. Stenger's expert techniques. The book consists of a narrative that alternates between the two women's voices. With openness and candor, Beth tells a portion of her story and Dr. Stenger offers commentary accompanied by a number of exercises used during her sessions with Beth. By scientifi cally supporting a healing technique that addresses all issues at the soul level, Dr. Stenger is one of the first medical hypnotherapists to bridge Spirit and Science. According to Dr. Stenger, Science tells us that the heart is our own PGS or Personal Guidance System and love is Spirit's greatest healing agent. This is a rare duet performed expertly by two radiant, fully empowered human beings.

Anger
by Dada BhagwanAnger management is a popular and necessary topic in today’s world. In dealing with difficult people, in our family relationships, or in facing marriage problems, we simply do not know how to deal with anger! When dealing with anger, we may wonder, “Am I right?” or “How can I make myself understood?” Some of our relationships can be said to be the very definition of conflict! Lacking conflict resolution skills, and out of a sense of powerlessness in our circumstances, we become angry. In the book “Anger”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan offers the ultimate anger management techniques in the form of spiritual conflict resolution strategies. He gives numerous solutions for dealing both with our own anger, and the anger of others. In addition, Dadashri offers spiritual advice on how to handle difficult people, anger management tips, and relationship tips.
Anger and Forgiveness: Resentment, Generosity, and Justice
by Martha C. NussbaumAnger is not just ubiquitous, it is also popular. Many people think it is impossible to care sufficiently for justice without anger at injustice. Many believe that it is impossible for individuals to vindicate their own self-respect or to move beyond an injury without anger. To not feel anger in those cases would be considered suspect. Is this how we should think about anger, or is anger above all a disease, deforming both the personal and the political? <p><p> In this wide-ranging book, Martha C. Nussbaum, one of our leading public intellectuals, argues that anger is conceptually confused and normatively pernicious. It assumes that the suffering of the wrongdoer restores the thing that was damaged, and it betrays an all-too-lively interest in relative status and humiliation. Studying anger in intimate relationships, casual daily interactions, the workplace, the criminal justice system, and movements for social transformation, Nussbaum shows that anger's core ideas are both infantile and harmful. <p> Is forgiveness the best way of transcending anger? Nussbaum examines different conceptions of this much-sentimentalized notion, both in the Jewish and Christian traditions and in secular morality. Some forms of forgiveness are ethically promising, she claims, but others are subtle allies of retribution: those that exact a performance of contrition and abasement as a condition of waiving angry feelings. In general, she argues, a spirit of generosity (combined, in some cases, with a reliance on impartial welfare-oriented legal institutions) is the best way to respond to injury. Applied to the personal and the political realms, Nussbaum's profoundly insightful and erudite view of anger and forgiveness puts both in a startling new light.
Angewandte Menschlichkeit
by Dada BhagwanJeder Mensch führt ein Leben, aber wieviel Menschlichkeit besitzt er? Geburt, Ausbildung, Beruf, Ehe, Kinder, Familie und am Ende... der Tod! Ist dies der Standardzyklus des Lebens, dem man folgen muss? Was ist das Endziel eines solchen Lebens? Warum werden wir geboren? Was wollen wir? Der menschliche Körper, den wir erhalten haben, sollte die Aufgabe erfüllen, menschlich zu sein. Im Leben sollte Menschlichkeit sein. Aber was ist laut Param Pujya Dadashri, dem Gnani Purush (dem Erleuchteten),Menschlichkeit? Die Definition von Menschlichkeit ist, dass es dir nicht gefällt, wenn dich jemand verletzt, dir Schwierigkeiten macht. Deshalb solltest du auch niemanden verletzen. Das ist Seiner Meinung nach die größte Menschlichkeit. Wer das versteht und im Leben anwendet, weiß, was Menschlichkeit ist. Einen menschlichen Körper zu bekommen bedeutet, dass man die Freiheit hat, in jede der vier Lebensformen (Gattis) zu gehen. Eine davon ist die menschliche Form, die anderen drei sind die tierische Form, Devgatti(Himmel/Himmlisches Wesen) und NarakGatti(Hölle/bestialische Form). Was auch immer die Ursachen sind, so sind auch die Wirkungen. Wenn wir Menschlichkeit zeigen, werden wir in der nächsten Geburt einen menschlichen Körper bekommen. Wenn wir unmenschlich sind, werden wir in der Tierform wiedergeboren. Wenn wir extrem schlecht und unmenschlich sind, werden wir in NarakGattiwiedergeboren. Wenn wir unser Leben damit verbringen, anderen Gutes zu tun, und ihnen ohne irgendwelche Erwartungen zu helfen, dann erhalten wir ein Leben in Devgatti. In diesem Buch hat Param Pujya Dadashri die Konzepte der Menschlichkeit mit der bescheidenen Absicht erörtert, damit das menschliche Leben der Menschen, wenn sie etwas über Menschlichkeit lernen,fruchtbar sein wird.
Antahkaran Ka Swaroop: अंतकरण का स्वरूप
