Summary: Clear, Concise, Informative, and most of all, Expansive!!
Comment: This book is one of the Master guides on Meditation. It is quite agreeable to anyone from any tradition. It deffinitly becons the mind to open into ever new and expansive view points. Even if one starts with some pre-concieved ideas, don't be surprised if you find those pre-conceptions falling away during your read............allowing the heart to peirce through the heavyness of dogmatic and contracted thinking into a freer, and more natural state.
I am quite impressed with this beautiful explanation of the many stages and qualities of meditation in book form.
It is intersperced with quotes from Saints, Buddha's, and Master's from all traditions. It gives great pointers on how to get through many of the obsticals that arise in anyones meditation. It also clearly points to the goal of meditation and elequantly expands on the experience of the goal of meditation through the writers own direct and personal experience. Yet, so beyond the subjective ego (reflective of the state of the author), it is easily accesable by anyone who is interested in starting a meditation practice, to anyone who has been meditating for a very long time. It is so fresh this book, it offers a range of techniques, as well as a section of self questioning which helps the reader align with their own personal style of meditation. It is both explanitory and contemplative. It puts seemingly complicated essoteric teachings into a language that illumines them as common sense. the book is like reading into one's own heart. So honest, so beautiful, so eloquent. There is a sense of openess as one reads, as if the words expand past the confines of a mere book, past the confines of mere form. The words themselves are so reflective of her own deep experience of the Truth, that one can not help but experience the state she speaks from. It is deffinitly perfectly titled as, "The Heart of Meditation."
Do yourself a most profound favor, have a Heart to Heart with your own essentual nature through this wonderful book that can expand current paradigms or forge one ahead into new and more greatly expanded paradigms. The fruit of this book, is most deffinitly enlightenment. What is that exactly? Ahhhhh, read the book and apply what it points to in your own life and you will realize that it is your own natural innermost state of being. So close, you will wonder how you ever did miss it, and have a good laugh in that wondering as well.
In a very practical sense:
A first class book on Meditation!

Summary: Going Deeper
Comment: During the last 14 years of practicing meditation I have always looked for ways to deepen my experience. This book was really helpful in that respect. It set off a revolution in my thinking and understanding of the process of meditation and really shook the dust out of my daily practice.
I like the practical advice the author gives. She has a knack for making one of life's most mystical experiences completely accessible.

Summary: Spiritual Plagiarism
Comment: *a reader from California. I was excited at first to read Sally Kempton's (swami durgananda) book. However, although the quality of the writing is excellent I was deeply distressed by her lack of professional integrity.
Kempton omits a complete bibliography and does not bother to quote her sources. As a student of yoga and meditation for over 30 years, I have found many of her meditations in other popular books. Yet, she does not quote or acknowledge other people's work.
This lack of honesty and arrogance is out of integrity for a professional writer who claims to teach meditation and spirtual values. Kempton should learn that basic yoga practice called "yamas"and "niyamas" insist upon no lying, cheating or stealing to onself or another.
Kempton, in a desire to make a name for herself, has abandoned the basic values of any traditional yoga practice.
