Title: Intimate and The Ultimate, The |
| Author: Vinoba Bhave, Satish Kumar (Trans) |
Description: I dont know what epithet to use in respect of you. Your love and character overwhelm me.—Gandhi, in a letter to Vinoba
All revolutions are spiritual at the source. All my activities have the sole purpose of achieving a union of hearts.—Vinoba Bhave
Widely regarded as Gandhis spiritual successor, Vinoba Bhave continued Gandhis work of spiritual and social enlightenment after his assassination, and became a beacon of hope to millions of impoverished Indian people. Saint, scholar, sage, social reformer and spiritual master, his radical activism was driven by his beliefs, and compassion was the inspiration for his social and economic reforms. He is best known for founding the Bhoodan or land-gift movement: motivated by the plight of the landless poor, he walked all over India persuading wealthy landowners to part with a portion of their land. In all he collected over five million acres of land in gifts, which he redistributed to the poor. During this great journey, he talked about the relationship between the intimate self and the ultimate God.
The Intimate and the Ultimate is a selected anthology of Vinobas speeches and writings. Organised into five sections—Education or Manipulation, Peoples Power, Social Justice, World Peace, and Spiritual Consciousness—it is an valuable guide for all seekers of truth, non-violence and wisdom, and for those who value quality above quantity, and wholeness above fragmentation.
Vinoba Bhaves message is a timeless one, and the simplicity, clarity and spirituality of his words make them as relevant today as when they were first written. We are delighted to be able to reprint this book, and bring Vinobas powerful message to a new generation.
