This book covers a range of wisdom and understanding far beyond what one would expect from its size; namely, the entire path of meditation starting with ordinary human consciousness on the physical level to Cosmic Consciousness on the Nirvanic level and beyond. It describes the difficulties, phenomena, pitfalls and rewards that the meditator will encounter at each stage of this incredible journey, and delineates why meditation works because of how the human being is structured, physically and spiritually; how meditation works because of the power of Mantra ("the Word"); and what meditation will do for Humanity in terms of realizing our true purpose on Earth.
