Overcoming Self-Sabotage in Self-Knowledge: Insights from the Upanishads - Paperback

by Swamini Svatmavidyananda (Author)

This book deals with the challenging and seldom-addressed topic of self-sabotage in the quest of self-knowledge. How might one's own infrastructure of self-loath and self-judgment scuttle the ship of freedom before it has crossed over the ominous notion of saṃsāra? How might one overcome the tendency to jeopardize one's own emotional maturity and spiritual growth? How can one learn to manage stubborn desires and senseless distractions that arise from the unconscious mind, and inhibit the assimilation of the truth of oneself as one with the entire universe and its cause? These are some of the questions that this book addresses. Additionally, the book also provides practical ways, gleaned from the Upanishads, to overcome the most common forms of self-sabotage.
