Introducing the Life Divine

M.P. PanditJanuary 1, 2015

Lotus Press

Sri Aurobindo’s magnum opus, The Life Divine, spans more than 1000 pages and covers the entire range of human aspiration and seeking. In the first chapter, M. P. Pandit addresses the question as to the relevance of studying Sri Aurobindo’s writings in today’s world. He goes on from there to describe the various theories of existence, the questions of devolution, involution and evolution as well as issues such as the question of rebirth and other worlds, the Sevenfold Ignorance and the triple transformation and the development of a gnostic society. The chapters each represent a lecture delivered by the author at the Sri Aurobindo Bhavan, Calcutta, India in January 1988 and have an easily grasped conversational tone, including relevant questions and answers.

Tao Te Ching: A New English Version

Stephen Mitchell

Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching llods at the basic predicatment of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how wo work for the good with the efforless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love, to childrearing, business, and ecology.

The Tao Te Ching is the most widely traslated book in world literature, after the Bible. Yet the gemlike lucidity of the original has eluded most previous translations, and they have obscured some of its central ideas. Now the Tao Te ching has been rendered into English by the eminent scholar and traslator Stephen Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell's Dropping Ashes on the Buddha is a modern Zen classic, and his translations of Rilke and of the Book of Job have already been called definitive for our time.
