"Ordinary life is like a pendulum, ceaselessly swinging back and forth," writes Paramahansa Yogananda in this uplifting and encouraging book. "The peaceful person remains calm until he is ready to work, then he swings into action. As soon as he is through, he swings back to the center of calmness. You should always be calm, like the pendulum that is still, but ready to swing into steady action whenever necessary."
Peace is not something we can buy. It is something we must learn to find within ourselves. And in today's high-pressure world, the need for inner peace has never been greater. This wise and soothing guide demonstrates how we can be "actively calm" by creating peace through meditation, and "calmly active" - centered in the stillness and joy of our own essential nature while living a dynamic, fulfilling, and spiritually balanced life.
Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952) is widely regarded as one of the preeminent spiritual teachers of our time. His acclaimed life story, Autobiography of a Yogi, and his many other books have introduced millions of readers to the timeless truths underlying the religious traditions of East and West. Today his spiritual and humanitarian work is carried on by Self-Realization Fellowship, the international society he founded in 1920 to disseminate his teachings worldwide.
