Story
Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional. Loss is unavoidable; grief isn't. Death is certain. And life? Well, life isn't certain. Its uncertainty, unpredictability, even its irrationality, make it what it is. Often, we run blindly into fire, we step on snakes, we get entangled in snares—these are the fires of desire, the snakes of attachment and the snares of jealousy and covetousness. If we are bitten, burnt and hurt, we call it suffering, and believe it to be the way of life, when, in fact, we are mistaking our pain for our suffering.

The science of Kundalini is an ancient vidya that has been passed through an oral tradition in strict disciple succession to worthy recipients. The science remains just as intact today. All it requires is for one to walk the path with great determination and tenacity. Kundalini is the primal energy, the creative force that wakes us up to our own greatness. Like pearls at the bottom of an ocean, it is lying curled up at the base of our spine.

Success by design is infinitely better than a win by chance. Vasu Bhatt is 14 years old when a mysterious old man spots him at a chess tournament and offers to coach him, on two simple but strange conditions: he would not accompany his student to tournaments, and there was to be no digging into his past. Initially resentful, Vasu begins to gradually understand his master’s mettle. Over eight years, master and student come to love and respect each other, but the two conditions remain unbroken–until Vasu confronts and provokes the old man.

Story
I've heard so many people tell those who suffer depression to just "cheer up." I wonder if they really believe that it's that simple. Depression isn't just sadness. It is emptiness, it is misery. It is pain and nothingness at once. When you are truly depressed you lack the ability or will to cheer yourself up. Even with all our scientific advances, depression remains one of the most mysterious mental illnesses. In this profoundly insightful work, Om Swami categorizes depression into three types to help you see how a different approach is needed to cure each type.
