📕 Book Summary

This week's book is “In Love, At Ease” by Yogi Trivedi

"In the joy of others, lies our own"- Pramukh Swami Maharaj

Regarded as the most remarkable spiritual leaders and cultural ambassadors of our time, Shri Pramukh Swami Maharaj was, and will always be the source of inspiration for millions worldwide.

His whole life was devoted to the service of god and the people around him. He always believed in loving each other and saw the divine in living beings.

In Love at Ease, the author shared the interactions of Pramukh Swami Maharaj with hundreds and thousands of devotees that met him to seek his blessing. The book is a recollection of his life. Each story shares a life lesson that shows his greatness and strong yet calm & divine nature.

Filled with spiritual lessons and stories of the guru, this book shows how kind, down-to-earth, and wise Pramukh Swami Maharaj was. This book shows the life of the guru that inspires one to find internal stability and balance in life. The author shares the moments of joy, the moments when the guru helped and inspired people, the moments of unconditional love for his god and his bhakts, the moments when he showed his presence even though he was busy with his schedule and much more.

Overall the book is an amazing read and can be a source of inspiration for its readers not only those who belong to their community but even beyond that.

I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend everyone to give it a read. You will thank me later.

Here are 5 valuable lessons from the book

1. You cannot find the right circumstances to live life: A storm on the outside must be met with composure on the inside. Circumstances in life will always be difficult. You cannot find the right circumstances to live life, Rather, you must steady and strengthen yourself to face whatever comes your way.

2. One can source an infinite amount of strength and stability: Loving the Divine through self is the only way to gain the endless capacity to truly love others. In Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Shri Krishna instructs Arjun that not only is the self the common essence in all of creation, but that by realizing its true form, one can source an infinite amount of strength and stability.

3. Be known, but do not want to be known: Life is a balance. Submit to God and guru, assist those around you, but have an identity of your own, It is important to achieve, excel and grow, while not expecting to be praised and celebrated for it. Be known, but do not want to be known.

4. If one has ego and attachment, there is no end to suffering: Put in all your effort, and then leave the end result to God. If he chooses not to give success, we should embrace that as well. When one believes, “I am doing this”, and the task is not completed successfully, one feels depressed. If one has ego and attachment, there is no end to suffering.

5. Choosing to serve and submit is the surest way to get one step closer to the Divine: Today is all about empowerment, convenience, personal achievement, and self-worth. Yesterday was about following and servitude. Choosing to serve and submit over leading and claiming credit is difficult, but it is the surest way to get one step closer to the Divine.
