I have always been interested in philosophy. Growing up I have always been yearning to expand my knowledge, my sub consciousness, to know more about philosophical substances. This book moved me. I was in awe as I felt awaken inside while evaluating myself. It opened my eyes to many of my habits and why I have such habits and how I can change what I do and how I do it. I believe the author is a very profound or experienced writer with the ability to clearly elaborate on his points in a very meticulous manner.This book is very relatable. In one’s life they will experience many things, many obstacles. When facing these, one can remember this book and you will realize how relatable the book is.I would recommend this book to everybody. I had to read this twice to fully understand it but when I did my heart melted. It was so emotionally captivating.I never even knew that humans go through four phases in life - kama (sensual), artha (wealth), dharma (righteousness), and sanyasa (enlightenment). Kama being the sexual energy that flows within each person, artha is having the idea of material prosperity, dharma basically being “the right way of living” and sayasa is where we dedicate our lives to spiritual pursuits. Looking at all this I am convinced that this writer has indeed had a spiritual and philosophical journey because looking back at my life I can say I have been through it.
