Awareness: Meditations, Parables, Insights

Anthony de Mello is known to us as the author of profound parables "in the Eastern spirit." But he was a Christian priest and became famous in his native India primarily for his engaging, sometimes provocative spiritual conversations and sermons. The brightest of them are collected on these pages. "Awareness" is a book about awakening, about changing oneself, about true life. "Reality - here it is; 'God', whatever He may be, - here He is. Everything is here, around you, just reach out your hand. The poor little fish asks: 'Excuse me, I am looking for the ocean, could you tell me how to find it?' A pitiful sight, isn't it? If we made the effort to open our eyes and see, we would understand everything."
