Review
"
Words to Live By: Inspiration for Every Day does exactly what the title implies, offering a daily page of wisdom garnered from the great spiritual texts of religion. Like one of the ancient wise ones, Easwaran simply but precisely drives the spiritual passage home." --
Prairie Messenger
"For those seeking to bring some spiritual inspiration into their daily lives, this little book is a treasure trove of wisdom. . . . It is a book you place beside your bed or on your desk, to be consulted at appropriate times, either sequentially or at random like an oracle." --

About the Author
Schooled in both Eastern and Western traditions, Eknath Easwaran took to the spiritual life amidst a successful career in India as a professor of English literature, writer and lecturer. He came to the University of California, Berkeley, in 1960 on the Fulbright exchange program and established the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation in Northern California in 1961. His deep personal experience and his love for his students have made the ancient art of meditation accessible to those who hold jobs and live active lives among friends and family.
