Description
SHABAD YOGA, now becoming extensively known in the West, is the highest of the Indian yoga systems. Shabad means divine or inner sound, and refers to the 'power' which in the Bible is called the Word or Logos. Shabad Yoga, which has been taught for many centuries by the spiritual masters of the highest order in the East, is essentially similar to the basic spiritual teachings of the New Testament and some other parts of the Bible. This book gives an explanation of many vital Bible truths as taught by the perfect spiritual masters of the Orient.
The purpose of the yoga of the divine word, or Shabad Yoga, is spiritual development, and it teaches the student how to achieve salvation, or liberation from the bonds of mind and matter, while living here and now on earth. Its system of meditation and other spiritual practices takes its followers to the highest attainable states of spiritual development and consciousness.
The purpose of the present volume is to present its basic principles in simple language. In order to make these principles more readily understandable the familiar sayings of Jesus are used throughout. They express the same fundamental truths that have been taught throughout the ages by the Eastern masters who have taught and practised the spiritual science of Shabad Yoga.
Joseph Leeming was a lifelong student of comparative religion, with a special interest in the religions and philosophies of the Orient. In the pursuit of these studies he early familiarized himself with the different well-known Indian systems of yoga, but despite their undoubted merits, he failed to find in them what he was seeking a comprehensive explanation of the purpose and goal of human life that was wholly acceptable to both reason and intuition, and the methods to be followed by the average person to realize the purpose of life and attain its true goal, In the end, however, he discovered that for which he had been seeking, in the teachings of Shabad Yoga.
