Book Description
About the Book
This is a collection of Discourses (13) given by Vimala Thakar at Chorwad in Saurashtra, together with seven sets of questions and answers by and to the audience. Kumari Thakar is a student of Eastern and Western philosophy and comes from the Nagpur University. She associated herself with the Land Gift Movement of Vinoba Bhave for years. Her understanding and study brought her thorough disillusion with the accepted philosophies and wants organisations. She to propagate her well-considered view that to save himself from destruction man should sincerely try to give up his allegiance to his superficial thoughts and broaden his outlook through Meditation- (never concentration) which endows him with a new awareness of himself and all reality.

The three essential things we need to gain such an awareness are a vision free from illusion, a mind free from impurity, and senses free from fetters of habit. She communicates all her ideas with clarity and precision. As the translator, Devendra Singh rightly observes that she lays parti- cular emphasis on a new dimension of life of friendship, love and a direct appre- hension of the truth and the totality through understanding and watchfulness. Thus this book proves itself to be a verit- able treasure for people groping in the 'darkness at noon' of academic surfeit.

The unique freshness, directness, flow and intimacy of the truth of her utterances are quite well preserved in the English translation by Sri Devendra Singh to the exclusive benefit of a wider audience.

About the Author
Vimala Thakar was born in India. She studied Eastern and Western philosophy at the Nagpur University. She spent many years with Vinoba Bhave in the Land Gift Movement.

Later her life was changed at its founda- tion. She began to see that humanity was facing a terrible challenge-terrible not because of challenge as such, but because man's mind, conscious and unconscious, turns challenges into problems which he tries in vain to solve by the inappropriate methods. To escape destruction, man must learn to jump out of all layers of his mind and to push back the frontiers of consciousness on all sides. This he can do, through meditation (not to be confused with concentration) and the new awareness of himself and all reality which meditation offers.

Miss Thakar has published a number of books, including Silence in Action, Meditation-A Way of Life, Towards Total Trans- formation, and the autobiographical On an Eternal Voyage.
