About The Book

The mind can be your best friend; it can also be your worst enemy. The difference between the two is in mind management, self-control over thoughts and desires. As Rev. Dada J. P. Vaswani observes in clear and concise words, "So many of our ills would be cured, if only we could change the pattern of our mind. Change the mind, and you change the world..."

This thought provoking book is a compilation of Dadaji's early writings, many of them previously published in the East and West Series, when Dada himself was the editor of the magazine. It is a collector's volume, an archival treasure of some of the most inspirational articles penned by this powerful writer and bestselling author of over 200 books; like all his books, this one too reflects his scintillating wit and wisdom, his unconditional love and selfless compassion.

Rev. Dada's formula for transforming our life 'from hell to heaven' is quite straightforward and practical, like everything he teaches: "Heaven and hell are of our own creation," he tells us. "By thinking heavenly thoughts, we get into touch with heavenly forces and we feel happy - we spread the sunshine of joy wherever we go."
