From Ram Dass, one of America's most beloved spiritual figures and
bestselling author of Be Here Now and Be Love Now, comes this
timeless classic about the experience of being and the risks and rewards
of our spiritual path. Originally published in 1976, Grist for the
Mill offers a deep spiritual journey of self-discovery, and a universal
understanding of what it means to "be" and to grow as human beings. The
book is fully revised with a new introduction.
As Ram Dass puts it, "When the faith is strong enough it is sufficient
just to be. It's a journey towards simplicity, towards quietness,
towards a kind of joy that is not in time. It's a journey that has taken
us from primary identification with our body and our psyche, on to an
identification with God, and ultimately beyond identification."
