Surrender with Meher Baba (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578738048)

Surrender with Meher Baba reminds us that the spiritual path is unique to each individual. Avatar Meher Baba places emphasis on the relinquishment of the ego as a necessary step along the spiritual path. Here, with his skillful inquiry, Laurent shows us how Meher Baba wades into the waters of surrender with full confidence that the spiritual aspirant, over time, will recognize both the difficulty and the inherent value in taking steps toward surrender. Basic questions, such as how, when, why, and who will embark on the process of surrender are explored in the first half of this book by Laurent, with generous quotes from Meher Baba. Laurent's love for Meher Baba shines through each page, as he explains his understanding of the path Baba has laid out for us. Laurent also invites us to consider what the obstacles to surrender are, how surrender must be an active rather than a passive process, and why surrender must be sincerely executed. The gap between Meher Baba's words and how we interpret them and integrate them into our daily lives is explored by Laurent in Part I of the book as well as by additional spiritual writing companions through personal stories and poetry in Part II of the book.
