In every spiritual tradition, there is the story of an ardent seeker who, while waiting for God, closes his door to the poor beggar who visits unexpectedly. Later, believing that the Lord has failed to appear, the seeker complains: Where were you? God responds, I came to you many times, in many forms, but always you turned me away. This is the true life story of that symbolic beggar, a hidden saint, a well-educated holy man who begged on the streets of India, Yogi Ramsuratkumar (1918 - 2001). Only God was his creed, and his approach to everyday life. His unusual innocence and radiant presence were recognised by seekers from both East and West, who knew him as the Godchild of Tiruvannamalai, the small city where he lived for forty years. The book also includes the lives and teachings of the holy beggar's three distinguished gurus, including Sri Auribindo. With self-revelatory honesty and an enjoyable mix of storytelling, interviews, and fact-finding, this eminently readable biography is an affecting account of an extraordinary life.

To ignite the inner life--that intrinsic spiritual dimension of existence--is to make a pilgrimage within-to move from "out there to "in here in the orientation of life, work, choices and relationships. This book is directed to those with a focus on spirituality, self-understanding, contemplative prayer, God, or the awakening of the heart's knowledge, regardless of the religious tradition they follow. Anyone on a journey of self-discovery knows that living on the surface of things is never satisfying. Many of us have long intuited, and now science affirms, that we are connected, energetically or via field at the heart, to others and to the world. This book addresses that awareness, which is generally latent, but sometimes long-forgotten, inviting readers to stir the embers within. Every major religious or spiritual tradition contains recommendations for building and maintaining an inner life--through silence and solitude, through prayer, mantra and ritual, through sacred reading and contemplation, through poetry, nature and symbolism. This book is designed to remind us of what we know about the life of our souls, and yet easily forget in the busyness of contemporary life. We can stop and slow down; we can move quickly and work hard while still maintaining our sense of self, our clear intention; we can bless others rather than judge them; we can practice seeing ourselves more clearly and build a foundation of self-appreciation and forgiveness. A heightened urgency to know who we are from "the inside out exists today for many. The Earth is imbalanced and human suffering and fear surface in ways we never expected a decade ago. Often, instead of our hearts, our terrors are guiding and compelling us; and the terrors of the collective psyche are building. We all need guides, role models and mentors…voices of clarity that will orient us in the direction of our own basic human goodness and inherent dignity. We all need reminding factors to wake us up from the collective trance of mediocrity and false security. This book is such a guide and reminder. Igniting the Inner Life will serve as a welcome friend to any pilgrim who wants to move deeper within. It will encourage long term but weary travelers to take that next step, and point out common detours or dead ends along this interior highway. Each chapter contains one or more contemporary poems to uplift the reader. The book concludes with suggested practices and prayers to rekindle the heart's intentioms.

Igniting the Inner Life

Self-Help

Personal Transformation

Readers of the first edition (published in 2001) were enthusiastic in their praise, calling it a brave and useful book. Prayer groups and church congregations in around the U.S. have used it for study, and it has been translated into Dutch, German and French. The message of the book is more relevant now than it was 10 years ago. The world has changed radically since 2001. As more people worldwide candidly admit to their reliance on prayer, the number of books on the subject has dramatically increased each year. War, economic instability, environmental and weather-related disasters--many factors draw us inward or back to our churches. In prayer groups and retreats of all kinds we are looking for comfort and consolation, for spiritual direction, or for answers to the eternal questions that have always challenged humanity. Praying Dangerously instructs us that we can grow up spiritually, leaving behind a childish relationship to prayer as a superstitious ritual or mere plea for favors. It encourages readers to recognize the difference between prayer that asks only for reassurance, and prayer that asks for God and stands for transformation. The author invites us to assume greater responsibility for our inner lives by choosing the "not-knowing,” the insecurity, the difficult circumstances as potential blessings and means of purification and inspiration. We can cease being "victims” of God's Will, while at the same time embracing genuine surrender and reliance on the irrefutable power of love. This 10th anniversary edition is fully revised, with several completely new chapters including: "The High Cost of Forgiveness”--a subject that challenges everyone, and "Praying on the Subway,” about how our travels and other activities in public places can provide us with a constant impetus for blessing others. Praying Dangerously draws from many sources and many traditions, from the Orthodox Christian classic The Philokalia, to the writings of ancient Sufi saints Rabi'a, Rumi and Abil-Kheir to contemporary treatments of prayer by Thomas Merton, Thomas Keating and others. Topics include: the prayer of transformation; building a life of prayer; lessons in prayer from people who prayed "dangerously,” and the use of prayer-writing as a means of building and nourishing the inner life. This dynamic approach expands the possibilities of prayer, invites a renewal of the inner life, and inspires us to abandon superficial, safe notions of prayer in favor of the Real.
