Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories that Heal, 10th Anniversary Edition (Orient Express Ser.)
by Rachel Naomi RemenWith Kitchen Table Wisdom, Dr. Remen established herself as an important new voice bringing hope and healing to a difficult world. Her book spent more than three months on the New York Times bestseller list, and maintained even longer runs on the Boston, San Francisco, and Denver lists. Now she has written My Grandfather's Blessings, a work that further examines the human heart and celebrates those who serve life so beautifully, so effortlessly, so selflessly often without knowing. It was Rachel Remen's grandfather, a kabbalistic rabbi, who gave her the eyes to see that service is what heals the isolation and loneliness in us all. Service happens every day in ways we don't notice: we serve each other; life serves us; and it is discovering the place of service in ourselves that leads at last to wisdom. As Remen says, "Every life serves a purpose which is both simple and profound. We are here to grow in wisdom and to learn to love better. What this says is that there are many life paths but all life has a spiritual agenda. And all people are on a spiritual path. " These stories give us a profound sense of strength that is achieved by knowing that we belong to each other, and to life itself.

Klesh Rahit Jeevan - Novel: क्लेश रहित जीवन - कादंबरी
by Dada Bhagwanतुम्ही जीवनात होणाऱ्या क्लेशांपासून थकून गेला आहात का? आणि चकित आहात की हे नवीन क्लेश कुठून बरे उत्पन्न होतात? क्लेश रहित जीवनासाठी तुम्हाला फक्त पक्का निश्चय करायचा आहे की लोकांसोबत असलेला व्यवहार तुम्ही समताभावे पूर्ण कराल आणि तेही त्यात यश मिळेल की नाही याची चिंता केल्याशिवाय. मग एक दिवस तुम्हाला तुमच्या जीवनात नक्कीच शांती लाभेल. जर बायको-मुलांसोबत अधिक गुंतागुंतीचे कर्म असतील तर त्यांचा निकाल करण्यात जरा जास्त वेळ लागतो. जवळच्या माणसांसोबत असलेला गुंता हळूहळू संपुष्टात येतो. चिकट कर्मांचा निकाल करतेवेळी तुम्हाला अतिशय जागृत राहावे लागेल. जर तुम्ही निष्काळजीपणा आणि आळस दाखवलात तर हा सर्व गुंता सोडवण्यात तुम्हाला अपयश मिळेल. जर कोणी तुम्हाला कटू शब्द बोलला आणि त्यावर तुमचीही जर कटू वाणी निघाली तरीही तुमच्या बाहेरील व्यवहार इतका महत्वपूर्ण नाही कारण तुमची घृणा समाप्त झाली आहे आणि तुम्ही समभावे निकाल करण्याचा दृढ निश्चय केलेला आहे. बदला घेण्याच्या सर्व भावनांपासून मुक्त होण्यासाठी तुम्हाला परम पूज्य दादाश्रींकडे येऊन ज्ञान घेतले पाहिजे. मी तुम्हाला मुक्त होण्याचा रस्ता दाखवेल. जीवनात थकलेली माणसे मृत्यूला का कवटाळतात? याचे कारण ते जीवनातील ताण-तनावाचा सामना करु शकत नाही. इतक्या अधिक ताण-तनावात तुम्ही किती दिवस जगू शकाल? किड्या-मुंग्याप्रमाणे आजचा मनुष्य निरंतर त्रासलेला आहे. मनुष्य जीवन मिळाल्यानंतरही कोणी दु:खी का असावे? संपूर्ण जग दु:खातच आहे आणि जो दु:खात नाही तो काल्पनिक सुखात हरवलेला आहे. या दोन टोकांमध्ये जीवत झुलत आहे. आत्मज्ञान प्राप्त झाल्यानंतर तुम्ही सर्व कल्पना आणि दु:खांपासून मुक्त व्हाल. दादाश्रींच्या या पुस्तकात क्लेश रहित जीवन जगण्याच्या चाव्या आणि योग्य समज देण्यात आली आहे.
Klesh rahit jivan: क्लेश रहित जीवन
by Dada Bhagwanक्या आप जीवन में उठनेवाले क्लेशों से थक चुके हो और हैरान हो कि नए क्लेश कहाँ से उत्पन्न हो जाते हैं ? क्लेश रहित जीवन के लिए आपको केवल पक्का निश्चय करना है कि आप लोगों के साथ सारा व्यवहार समभाव से निपटाओगे बिना सफलता की चिंता किये बिगैर | फिर एक दिन जीवन में शांति आकर ही रहेगी। यदि बीवी-बच्चों के साथ बहुत उलझे हुए कर्म हों तो निकाल करने में अधिक समय लग जाता है। करीबी लोगों के साथ उलझने क्रमशः ही समाप्त होती हैं। चिकने कर्मों का निकाल करते वक्त आपको अत्यंत जागृत रहना होगा। अगर आपने लापरवाही और सुस्ती दिखाई तो इन मामलों को सुलझाने में असफल होंगे। यदि कोई आपको कटु वाणी बोल दे और आपकी भी कटु वाणी निकल जाए, तो आपके बाहरी व्यवहार का कोई महत्व नहीं, क्योंकि आपकी घृणा समाप्त हो चुकी है और आपने समभाव से निकाल का दृढ़ निश्चय कर रखा है। “प्रतिशोध के सभी भावनाओं से मुक्त होने के लिए आपको परम पूज्य दादाश्री के पास आकर ज्ञान ले लेना चाहिए। मैं आपको इसी जीवन में प्रतिशोध की सभी भावनाओं से मुक्त होने का रास्ता दिखाऊँगा। जीवन से थके हुए लोग मृत्यु क्यों ढूँढते हैं? ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि वे जीवन के तनाव का सामना नहीं कर पाते। इतने अधिक दबाव में आप कितने दिन जीवित रह सकते हो ? कीड़े-मकोडों की तरह, आज का मनुष्य निरंतर संताप में है। मनुष्य का जीवन मिलने के बाद किसी को कोई दुःख क्यों हो? सारा संसार संताप में है और जो संताप में नहीं है, वे काल्पनिक सुखों में खोए हुए हैं। इन दोनों छोरों के बीच संसार झूल रहा हैं। आत्मज्ञानी होने के बाद, आप सभी कल्पनाओं और वेदनाओं से मुक्त हो जाओगे।’’ दादाश्री की इस पुस्तक में क्लेश रहित जीवन जीने की चाबियाँ और समझ दी गई हैं।
Klesh Vinanu Jivan: ક્લેશ વિનાનું જીવન
by Dada Bhagwanશું તમે જીવનમાં થતી અથડામણો થી કંટાળી ગયા છો? શું તમને અચરજ થાય છે કે અથડામણો કેમ થતી હશે? પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રી કહે છે, “આત્મજ્ઞાન એ બધી અથડામણો થી મુક્તિ મેળવવાની ચાવી છે” “હવે તમારે બદલો લેવાની ભાવનાથી મુક્ત થવાનું છે, એ માટે તમે પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રી (આધ્યાત્મિક વિજ્ઞાની ) પાસે આવો અને આત્મજ્ઞાન મેળવો તો તમે મુક્ત થશો. તમારે બધા વેરથી આ જ ભવમાં મુક્ત થવાનું છે અને હું તમને તેનો રસ્તો બતાવીશ. મનુષ્યનું જીવન આજે જંતુ જેવું થઇ ગયું છે. તેઓ સતત માનસિક દુઃખમાં છે. મનુષ્ય તરીકે જન્મ થયા પછી શા માટે માનસિક સંતાપ હોવો જોઈએ? આખું જગત ભઠ્ઠીમાં બફાઈ રહેલા શક્કરિયાની અવસ્થામાં છે, અને જો સંતાપ નથી, તો ત્યાં ભ્રાંતિ (મોહ)ની અવસ્થા વર્તે છે. આ પુસ્તકમાં પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રી (આધ્યાત્મિક વિજ્ઞાની)નું, અથડામણ વિનાનું જીવન જીવવાની સમજણ, એની રીત, એનું મહત્વ રજુ કરવામાં આવ્યું છે.

KnitLit
by Linda Roghaar Molly WolfWhether you're a dedicated knitter who bestows lovingly crafted gifts upon family and friends at every possible occasion, a sometimes knitter with a bag of fully conceived but half-completed projects, or a newcomer who has recently taken up the needles with great gusto, you know the rewards that this hobby can bring. You may also know that knitting as a hobby can verge on obsession--be it the compulsive purchasing of stunning hand-spun wool, the desire to rip out nearly finished sweaters because you dropped a stitch, or the need to knit wherever, whenever, or however you can. Most important, though, knitting offers a camaraderie, a society of women and men who converse in a language all their own, flock to yarn stores with religious devotion, and can recite the time and place where they first learned to purl. These feelings are what KnitLit is all about. In this charming collection of stories, essays, anecdotes, and recollections, knitters of every "color" celebrate their hobby and share with you the joy it brings into their lives.From the touching tale of a caring woman whose hand-knit dolls bring security to young hospital patients, to the hilarious story of a woman scorned who sends her ex-boyfriend a scarf knit with wolf hair only to have it torn to shreds by his dogs, to the moving recollection of a man whose grandmother's dying wish was to knit all the wool in her knitting stash, to the finely wrought account of a man who keeps alive the memories of his companions and friends who have succumbed to AIDS by wearing the sweaters they left behind, KnitLit is a gift from knitters to knitters--crafted with as much love and care as an afghan or a wool scarf. Wrap yourself in KnitLit, and be inspired.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Knitting the Threads of Time

Knocking on Heaven's Door: The Path to a Better Way of Death
by Katy ButlerAn exquisitely written, expertly reported memoir and exposé of modern medicine that leads the way to more humane, less invasive end-of-life care--based on the author's acclaimed New York Times Magazine piece. This is the story of one daughter's struggle to allow her parents the peaceful, natural deaths they wanted--and to investigate the larger forces in medicine that stood in the way. When doctors refused to disable the pacemaker that caused her eighty-four-year-old father's heart to outlive his brain, Katy Butler, an award-winning science writer, embarked on a quest to understand why modern medicine was depriving him of a humane, timely death. After his lingering death, Katy's mother, nearly broken by years of nonstop caregiving, defied her doctors, refused open-heart surgery, and insisted on facing death the old-fashioned way: bravely, lucidly, and head on. Against this backdrop of familial love, wrenching moral choices, and redemption, Knocking on Heaven's Door celebrates the inventors of the 1950s who cobbled together lifesaving machines like the pacemaker--and it exposes the tangled marriage of technology, medicine, and commerce that gave us a modern way of death: more painful, expensive, and prolonged than ever before. Caring for declining parents is a reality facing millions who may someday tell a doctor: "Let my parent go." A riveting exploration of the forgotten art of dying, Knocking on Heaven's Door empowers readers to create new rites of passage to the "Good Deaths" our ancestors so prized. Like Jessica Mitford's The American Way of Death and How We Die by Sherwin Nuland, it is sure to cause controversy and open minds.
