![]() ![]() ‘Beauty arises in the stillness of the presence’ is the main motto of the author so as to spread the message worldwide and understand the true meaning of the power of now. They can transfer suffering into peace and illness into enlightenment more easily and smoothly as compared to men. Surrender to the present moment, where problems do not exist. The concept of self reflection and presence in the moment are presented along with simple exercises for the achievement of its principles. It presents itself as a discussion about how people interact with themselves and others. Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language and a question and answer format to guide us. The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment is a book by Eckhart Tolle. He added that women are generally closer to enlightenment. To make the journey into THE POWER OF NOW we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. The author very well tried to connect with the readers at large, to convey the message with respect to conscious and unconscious mind, ignoring people for their faults, the role of silence in our lives. ‘How’ is always more important than ‘What’. The joy of doing a work is more important than what kind of work we are doing. Further, Tolle claimed that ‘ The Now’ is central to the teachings of Sufism as it’s supported by a famous Sufi saying ‘the Sufi is the son of the time present’. Negatives and agonies have their roots in time. To understand the power of present, one should end the delusion of time from mind so as to think deeply at present. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. The only thing that is real is the present. It's no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 2 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. The future only exists in your head, as well. In short, it is somewhat Buddhist philosophy that goes like this: The past is gone and only exists in your memories. A statement that the author makes which is indeed very philosophical is worth quoting: ‘The secret of life is to die before you die and to find out there is no death’. The Power Of Now is toward the top of my list of books that make you think (or in this case, stop thinking). He opines that ego is a negative emotion and it should be treated well before it leads to destruction of mind, body and soul. Author carries forward his views related to thinking, creating no more pain at present so as to achieve enlightenment. ![]()
