The Way of the Monk | Free Book
Take the wheel of your life with monastic wisdom teachings from a
surprisingly modern source.
“There is a traffic jam within our minds. That traffic jam is
stopping each one of us from reaching our true potential. Imagine
if we knew how to clear this disruption. No fumes of insecurity
causing us to cough, no one honking at us, distracting us from
what’s important, and plenty of fuel to sustain us so that we can
live a life worth living.” —Gaur Gopal Das
What can a member of a Mumbai ashram offer the
modern world? As it turns out, quite a bit. In
The Way of the Monk, Gaur Gopal Das reveals that contemporary
monastic life is far from our dour, isolated conception of it—and
still has keen insights to share.
Das presents a
guide to navigating some of life’s most fundamental questions. How
can we achieve peace when the world is so full of noise and
conflict? How do we learn to let go of attachment when consumer
culture constantly tells us that we are unfulfilled? How can we
embody love when our interactions with others are so fraught with
old wounds and misunderstanding?
Das writes from
the perspective of a trusted friend, weaving tales he’s encountered
over the years into a single, overarching teaching story. Here, you
will learn:
Why the keys to life’s central challenges
have been known for thousands of yearsThe four “wheels” of behavior
that support health, balance, and satisfactionHow to stop and
appreciate life’s most beautiful aspectsThe value of surrendering to
the form of the momentThe many ways of honoring and connecting with
the divineWhy service and selflessness are at the heart of a
fulfilled life
The Way of the Monk is a both an
ideal starting point and guide to the spiritual path, teaching
fundamental skills of mindfulness, self-inquiry, positive
communication, and more.
