This autobiography is written by a yogi who provides an account of his own search for a singular truth, interwoven with scientific explanations of the subtle laws by which yogis seemingly perform miracles and attain self-mastery. The author also recounts his meetings with other exceptional spiritual leaders of both East and West including Mahatma Gandhi, Luther Burbank, Therese Neumann and Rabindranath Tagore.
When I learned that Steve Jobs re-read this book each year and the autiobook is read by Ben Kingsley, I knew I had to check it out. It proved to be more religious than I expected, relying on faith to explain much. Reading this helps to understand how Jobs could persue alternative medicine when diagnosed with cancer.
