From the Foreword by Includes a foreword by Br. David Steindl-Rast, OSB:
Swami Satchidananda rightly says that all spiritual paths lead to the one Truth. It strains our imagination, but we must even say that taking one path means taking all of them--they are all contained in each. Yet, this will help us not in the least until we set out to make one path our own and follow it.
To really follow what Yoga offers us for a deeper understanding of Christian teaching, we must begin to live what Christ teaches. How else should we understand its meaning? Why not let these two spiritual paths--two ways of expression--complement one another? To get at the truth, we must make every effort to understand what the one who used these words wanted to say at the time. The longer ago this was, the greater our difficulty today yet, difficult or not, every statement of truth has to be seen in its context.
Yoga--as you will see Swamiji describe in this book--teaches us the same truth found in the Beatitude: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." We can and must affirm how our spiritual traditions enrich each other when viewed from the perspective Swamiji shares with us. We affirm our traditions by a life that remains grateful. In that deep gratitude, which is an essential characteristic of our peak moments, we experience one common denominator to all the spiritual paths: that we can't wrap up the light in a package; but we can walk in the light.
