Publisher's Synopsis
On the journey to discover who you are, beneath all the layers you have accumulated, you encounter a tranquil place within yourself, where you are no one. A place where you have shed everything that makes you who you are -- your very identity. When we chance upon this sanctuary within us, we can drop the masks we wear and just be nothing.
If we can be anchored in that space while dealing with life with all its ups and downs, how amazing that would be!
This may sound simple but it's not. It is not easy letting go of control, of the image we project, of our attachments,
of our lifestyle. Who would we be without all of this?
More importantly, how would we be viewed?
In the collection of poems, "The Quest", Sheila Shiva Rao shares with you her spiritual journey in verse that is haunting, distinct and pure. Quoting the words of her Guru, Sri M, "When all the desires of the heart have been understood and let go of, and when the spirit finds joy and satisfaction in itself, without any external add-ons, then one is a person of steady wisdom", she says, " I am still a traveller on this path".
