There, Goenkaji shares his own exposure to ancient devotional texts, clearly delineating the transition from blind devotion to true devotion, as well as the link between scholarship and practice. As he systematically does throughout his teaching, Goenkaji dispels misconceptions, subverts hollow rituals, and conveys a core message: The intellect may seek knowledge — feed it, develop it, but make it beneficial to the actual practice. Creativity may be abundant – let it come and inspire others. The heart may overflow with devotion – welcome and nurture it, but don’t let it be blind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGratitude and appreciation are extended to the tireless, \u003cem\u003eātāpī\u003c\/em\u003e Klaus Nothnagel, who undertook this subtle task of translation while keeping Goenkaji's original purpose and volition as a guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\" class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e—Michal Barnea Astrog, author, \u003cem\u003e\u003ca title=\"link to the book Carved by Experience\" href=\"\/products\/5031\"\u003eCarved by Experience\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003ca title=\"Amazon link to the book 'Psychoanalytic and Buddhist Reflections on Gentleness'\" href=\"http:\/\/a-fwd.com\/com=pariyatti-20\u0026amp;asin=113837119X\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePsychoanalytic and Buddhist Reflections on Gentleness \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nothnagel, Klaus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43022820442206,"sku":"769046","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/3677\/0142\/files\/AMZNKDP779046.jpg?v=1783878694","url":"https:\/\/pariyatti.org\/products\/garland-thousand-praises-ebook","provider":"Pariyatti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
