We have lived long enough to realize that even some of the most generally accepted realities of life, such as society, religion, family, politics, success and failure, are all, at the end of the day, just ideas. If there is anything real to life, it emanates from within us. Growing up is simply a process of discovering how much of what we call life is shaped by our own unique individuality.
In “The Silent Path”, enlightened teacher Avi gives us a hard-hitting message of finding our own individual path to freedom. He strips life down to its bare essentials, providing a systematic and scientific approach to self-transformation. Even at the risk of stepping on the toes of certain deeply held institutional beliefs, he answers the questions of seekers with unmatched honesty and openness.
Avi clears out all the confusing and binding ideologies that don’t help an individual, to reveal a direct path to effortless living filled with purpose, joy and bliss. He discovered this magical path in India after several years of intense meditative longing. Here, he unravels the best of what he has discovered for the benefit of all. If there is just one book you want to read that can totally change your perception and understanding of life – this is it.
Here are some of your most important questions this book attempts to answer:
- What is the true nature of my mind, body, and self?
- What is meditation and how do I practice it?
- How can I attain to my inner peace, certainty, and happiness?
- What is life and death, and how do I understand them fully?
- How can I go beyond my daily strife and struggle?
- What is spirituality and how do I pursue it?
- What exactly is enlightenment and how do I attain it?
- What is the ultimate purpose of life?
This book is transcribed from talks delivered by Avi, answering deep personal questions of spiritual seekers. Your journey through these pages will be like taking a bite from a rare, succulent fruit of some far-off land where it has been growing and waiting for years, just for you. May the freshness of this new taste linger in your soul forever.
About Avi:
Originally from India, Avi began his career in the financial sector after graduating from college. However, at the age of 24, he realized that he was still searching for something deeper within himself that external accomplishments couldn’t satisfy. In search of inner peace and fulfillment, he left home, quit his job, rented a room, and began meditating.
After four years of intense meditation, Avi had a profound spiritual realization that forever changed his life. He began sharing his experience with others through programs and retreats. In 2017, he traveled to America with one of his students and decided to stay to teach Americans about meditation and how to achieve self-realization.
To fulfill his mission, Avi established Nirvana Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for people to learn about meditation and self-awareness through books and programs. The foundation’s first meditation center is currently under construction in Tennessee, where Avi now lives and continues to teach others about the transformative power of meditation.
