Lighting the Lamp Within: Illuminating the Path to Greater Spiritual Awareness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781450255288)

An extraordinary personal story of spiritual awakening by an ordinary housewife, with spiritual insights for everyday people.

"A simple yet profound shift in consciousness is the way to light your spiritual lamp within, says Jyoti Sondhi in Lighting the Lamp Within. This is the Light that all religious and spiritual traditions speak of, that shines away confusion, delusion, and suffering. Jyoti has glimpsed it. Chances are, you have too.

Jyoti's journey is a personal one, and now she shares the lessons she learned on her own path with you, the seeker. She succeeds in bridging the gap between dogmatic religious beliefs, and spiritual wakefulness that now informs her life. "Why look to external power, ego and pleasures to feel complete when you are already infused with the energy of love?" she asks. Jyoti discusses potent practices and realizations that can help change fears to love, obstacles to stepping-stones, and emptiness to completion. In so doing, and in just humbly "letting be," she provides a roadmap to joyous reconnection with our true identity in the One Presence.

So why attend to the unflashy thoughts of an "ordinary housewife," who found herself graced by a spiritual awakening? The answer is: precisely because it is so ordinary, so personally accessible and affecting."
