Is Spirituality The Key To Lasting Peace And Joy

According to spiritual masters (e.g., sages, seers, yogis, mystics, etc.), whether we know (or believe) it or not, we already are and will always be the only pure being (or awareness) there is, which is eternal (timeless), infinite (dimensionless), indivisibly whole, innately peaceful, and absolutely fulfilled. This claim implies that we are not individuals with mind-body mechanisms. Therefore, it is our birthright to recognize our true nature as it is and naturally manifest that true nature in our daily lives to live a complete and fulfilled life with lasting peace and joy. This guidebook is meant to help us recognize our true nature as it is. A little over twelve years ago, I began to be very interested in spirituality. Since then, every year I have been spending hundreds, even thousands, of hours on activities such as listening to YouTube discourses on spirituality, conducting internet research on spiritual topics, contemplating the knowledge, understanding, and insight I have gained, and so on. Writing books has been one of my spiritual practices, with the purpose of sharing what I have been able to learn, discover, and intuit. Are the physical objects that seem to exist in the external world real? Are the subtle objects that we experience internally real? What about the reality of our bodies and minds? Do they have independent existences of their own? What is the true nature of my being? What am I? What is it that is aware of (or knows) my experiences? What is the continuous element in all my experiences? What is it that cannot be removed from me? How do I know that I exist? What can I be certain of? Why can't I have lasting peace and joy in life? Is it possible to recognize my true nature? What do eastern wisdom traditions, such as Vedanta, teach? If you are looking for answers to any of the questions mentioned above, then please consider reading this book, which is based mainly on the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and Shri Ramana Maharshi, the two greatest spiritual giants of modern times.

These advices and techniques helped the author to do just that and he still uses and applies them in his daily life and work. What is the Key Combination? Peace of mind, health, family, financial independence, human relations, self-awareness and love. Andrej Mlinšek is a motivational and inspirational speaker, an international entrepreneur and author. He has been dedicated to personal growth and positive orientation for twenty years and has built a direct sales organization, known as Adriatikus Group, which is successfully performing worldwide. Here are some of Andrej`s thoughts on this book: "In 1988 I read my first book about personal development, which really fascinated me. I was 20 years old at the time. Ever since I`ve been reading, listening and studying various books and their authors who deal with the history of personal development. I always wanted to know why some succeed in life, have a family, good health and good relations with others; they live a successful life, while others do not, regardless of a similar starting point in life. For twenty years I have been searching for the key combination in life, which enables us to live a life we want to and we can enjoy. At my home I have my own library and I study successful people. A research by an American insurance company, which involved observing the life of 100 students, from the age 25 to 65, revealed that after forty years of observation they were: 1 RICH4 financially independent5 still work, because they have to work36 are dead54 are broke These results show that after 40 years 5% were successful and the other 95% were unsuccessful. The book KEY COMBINATION includes advice and techniques, which have been very helpful to me in my life and by which I still live today. I sincerely hope and wish this book will help the reader to improve his life and that each and every one can find a thought for himself and his life."
