Straight Path

This book introduces the reader to the spiritual life based on lived experience. True to its name, it teaches you how to avoid detours on the path to perfection and reach your goal directly. The author systematically explains the methods and means of transforming your emotional experiences and turning your entire being towards positive spiritual qualities. He describes spiritual development and guides you through the nature of everything that occurs on the spiritual path, all the way to the highest achievements.

The first part deals with religion, spiritism, magic and mysticism, pointing out the inconsistencies or dangers associated with them, while also highlighting the good elements within each path. The second part of the book analyses various aspects of the philosophy and practice of the Direct Path (such as God, prayer, reincarnation, non-attachment and jnana yoga). The third part describes the methodology of Direct Path practice (including the absolute necessity of observing moral precepts, progress through karma yoga and bhakti yoga whilst fulfilling daily responsibilities, concentration and other practices).
