Spiritual Teacher, Earnest Student: Finding a Reflection of Your True Self , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min
A spiritual teacher is essential for those seeking to follow a spiritual path. Eknath Easwaran explains why we need a teacher, how to find one, and what it takes to be a good student. Why is a teacher important? And how can we find an authentic one? Easwaran, a recognized authority on spiritual living, has guided earnest students around the world. He tells us that to make real progress on the spiritual path, we need encouragement, inspiration, and practical guidance from someone who has made the journey before us - an experienced guide who can show us a safe path up the spiritual mountain. Drawing on advice from the Indian sages and the example of his own guru, his grandmother, Easwaran describes the qualities to look for in an authentic teacher. But a good teacher also needs a good student. To make progress on our spiritual path, we must cultivate earnestness and enthusiasm. Then, over time, with our teacher’s guidance, we will come to see within ourselves the source of all wisdom and joy, our highest self. This discovery will help all who live and work with us, for the true teacher can light within our hearts “a lamp that shines like a beacon for all around to follow”. Narrated by Paul Bazely.

Strength in the Storm, Hörbuch, Digital, 51min
Find balance, peace, and even wisdom by learning to steady the mind. Stress and anxiety affect many of us as we struggle with work pressures, money worries, strained relationships, and the nagging sense that life may be running out of our control. But in the midst of chaos, we can find balance, peace, and wisdom, Easwaran says, if we learn to steady our minds. It’s a simple idea, but one that runs deep - a truly calm mind can weather any storm. Eknath Easwaran, a respected teacher of meditation, offers a wealth of insights, real-life stories, and practical suggestions. He explains how to use a mantram (or mantra) to quiet the mind and how to slow down and stay in the present. With persistence, we can shed anxieties and resentments, strengthen our relationships, and stay kind and strong when faced with conflicts, supporting those around us. We learn to calm the mind through practice - there’s no magic about it. We can’t control what life throws at us, but we can learn to access the courage, patience, and compassion that we need to ride the waves of life minute-by-minute, day-by-day. The audiobook is abridged: It contains the first three chapters and the final three chapters, excluding the chapter introductions, real-life stories, worksheets, and points to practice.

Climbing the Blue Mountain: A Guide for the Spiritual Journey, Hörbuch, Digital, 68min
Easwaran invites you on a journey, an adventure to find the supreme goal of life. Entertaining, thought-provoking, and moving, these four essays offer an hour of inspiration for listeners of any faith, philosophy, or lifestyle. Eknath Easwaran is one of the 20th century's great spiritual teachers and an authentic guide to timeless wisdom. He leads us through anecdotes, stories of the saints, surprising analogies, and wise insights that encourage us to explore what spiritual living can mean today. In "Taking the Plunge", Easwaran draws on a documentary about young penguins to teach us that it takes time for us to find our true path but that we can take our destiny into our own hands. In "Chasing Rainbows", he explores the nature of desire and what leads to lasting joy. In "The Secret of Happiness", he shows how by mastering our mind, we can achieve our real stature, far beyond anything we can imagine. The final essay, "Climbing the Blue Mountain", is a moving account of the spiritual quest. Easwaran compares this with a long journey that he makes from the hot, dusty plains of Central India, up through jungle and plantations, to his home in the cool hills of the Blue Mountains, where his mother waits for him - reminding us that on the spiritual path, we, too, will one day find our true home. The audiobook is a reading of four of the chapters from the book. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Bazely. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/nilg/000009/bk_nilg_000009_sample.mp3.
