"Ordinary life is like a pendulum,

ceaselessly swinging back and forth,"

writes Paramahansa Yogananda in this

uplifting and encouraging book. "The

peaceful person remains calm until he

is ready to work, then he swings into

action. As soon as he is through, he

swings back to the center of calmness.

You should always be calm, like the

pendulum that is still, but ready to swing

into steady action whenever necessary."

Peace is not something we can buy. It is

something we must learn to find within

ourselves. And in today's high-pressure

world, the need for inner peace has never

been greater. This wise and soothing guide

demonstrates how we can be "actively calm"

by creating peace through meditation, and

"calmly active" - centered in the stillness

and joy of our own essential nature while

living a dynamic, fulfilling, and spiritually

balanced life.
