Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the original version of Franklin Jones' (aka Adi Da) autobiography. It is a "classic" spiritual document, and I believe far superior to the later expanded editions, which are contexualized within the religious context of Adi Da as "the" God Incarnation. This original edition is shorter, direct, honest, and not at all pompous. Here, Jones is a seeker who arrived at the end of seeking through Self Realization, after having assumed discipleship under Swami Muktananda. His realization led to his arriving at an original "way" of understanding the spiritual search and spiritual experieinces. When this book was written, Jones did not view or portray himself as an "avatar", but rather as a "Man of Understanding". This book is a fascinating account of the spiritual path, and I believe at par with Autobiography of a Yogi (by Paramahansa Yogananda)in its significance.
