Back Cover:

Intellectual definitions of transcendental states merely leave us in the dark. We must practice walking on the divine path, and not merely talk about it, if we would know what these states really are.

The world clamours for attention and participation. God alone is silent, undemanding, and unaggressive.

– Paul Brunton

The third volume of The Notebooks of Paul Brunton is of immediate practical use.

Part 1, Practices for the Quest, goes directly to the heart of exercises, techniques, and mental attitudes useful at various stages of spiritual self-discovery and self-development. It explains what qualities must be developed, why they must be developed, how they can be developed, and how their development will be tested and proved by life itself.

Part 2, Relax and Retreat, lays the cornerstone for amodern life of inspired sanity. It offers simple, effective and viable antidotes for the tensions produced by excessive outer activity and over-attachment to the personal ego.
