PRABUDDHA: THE CLEAR-SIGHTEDbegins with three questions:
What is Prabuddha?
Who is Prabuddha?
Where is Prabuddha?
As the reader flips to the final pages of the book, these questions are answered.
PRABUDDHA: THE CLEAR-SIGHTED is one of those rare books that make one feel complete and fulfilled. It shares the quiet joy of being one with the Cosmos.
The internationally acclaimed author has two previous books to his credit, and a “blog-book” in Kindle, one of its kind in the world, titled UnclassifiedIntelligence.
Excerpt
Reading is seeing.
Reading is listening.
Reading is feeling.
Read these eighteen stories, as they are eighteen steps to achieving the wisdom of the Prabuddha. The reader is free to choose for himself or herself how he or she wants to look at this book—as a collection of metaphysical short stories or as a guide to understand and see life with clarity and meaning. However, in order to realize the full potential of this small book, one must remember, “everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfillment,” as Viktor. E. Frankl puts it. In other words, your reading of this book must be in rhyme with your mission in life, the quest for the ultimate meaning.
I know this as a certainty that your mission in life is the quest for ultimate truth because you are reading this book now.
There is an ultimate meaning to life. “This ultimate meaning necessarily exceeds and surpasses the finite intellectual capacities of man,” said the same man who founded the school of psychoanalysis called Logotherapy. Reading this book could be similar to a journey through different landscapes and seasons in human life.
Eighteen stories represent eighteen steps of enlightenment. You can proceed to read from the beginning in a linier fashion or jump into any story you flip open randomly. Nothing hurts your enjoyment of the book. Still, I would recommend you to go slow and proceed to the final page from the beginning, without interrupting the sequence. Eighteen is the number of the rudraksha or beads in a rosary. You can find the eighteen stories in this book as analogous to a rosary. The counting of the beads is to be in a sequential order.
At the peak of eighteen steps, revelatory gifts of Clear-sightedness await you. In these stories, you will encounter war and love, peace and bloodshed, separation and joy, hope and hopelessness, and wisdom and folly. You must keep in mind that yours is a journey for the ultimate meaning. There will be treacherous mountains you have to climb. Study these eighteen stories carefully and investigate deeper into the wisdom the Cosmos intends to share only with you.
“The physical warfare was brought in merely to make the description of the internal duel more alluring,” says Gandhi in his observation on the message of the Bhagavat Gita. You should rely on these wise saying when you meet battles and jealousies or talking Godhika and Rakta.
Moreover, the proof for the influence of this book is I myself. I leave you here with this note.
Keep turning the pages.
Remember, I haven’t told you everything yet. I haven’t told you the most important aspect of Prabuddha: the Clear-sighted.
It is that you are part of this book.
When two men hit the reset button and decide to go out looking for the good in the world, they not only find it but also a lot more.
