In 2018, The Heartfulness Way, Volume 1, was published―a series of conversations between Daaji and his associate Joshua Pollock. In Volume 2, Daaji focuses on the spiritual journey from its starting point to the ultimate realization of the purpose of human life and potential.
The topic of “Reality” is central to spirituality and Realization is the fruit of awareness. God-realization is usually spoken about with awe and mystery, as something unattainable, or at the very least taking many lifetimes. It has been the classic quest of spiritual seekers from all cultures and eras―those who have searched for God and tried to identify and overcome the obstacles on the way. In this book, Daaji describes the experience and maps out the journey that provides us with the tools and sheds light on the obstacles and their solutions. The second half of the book shines a light on the qualities needed on the journey of unveiling reality. Daaji touches upon the contemplative practices of Heartfulness, clarifies some practical aspects, and offers valuable suggestions. The path he offers is simple.
The Heartfulness Way, Vol 2 is an outcome of many such conversations that took place at the Heartfulness International Headquarters at Kanha Shanti Vanam from 2019 to the present. As the world went into lockdown, the forced isolation and the pain humanity suffered led to a flood of queries to Daaji asking for answers to deeper questions of meaning and purpose.
