Book Review: The Wheel Of Spirituality
So I completed “The Wheel of Spirituality” by Dr. Vinay Bansal today and it was a not so slow read but cannot even be considered in fast reads either. Its a moderate read. The genre is non fiction with a lot of fictional stories in the middle.
The book describes 10 steps for Siddhi or Moksha (The Ultimate Goal). The writer took some really good time to explain the word and the meaning along with the importance.
All the 10 steps were clearly explained and the ways to gain (on a beginner level) these steps were also mentioned. In this way, the whole book is divided into 10 parts including many stories.
The 10 of the steps were: Samriddhi, Sahitya, Sanskar, Sambhaav, Sadhbhavna, Sakriyta, Seva, Samarpan, Satarkta and Sadhana.
Following these steps will lead to a calm and composed lifestyle which in end will lead to Siddhi.
What I really loved about the author through this book is that he is not at all negligent about any of the malpractices which keeps on going in society. He very well addresses those and mentions that “people might have mentioned this to you, but this totally depends on individual person and society gets to have no take on this” which I really loved about the author.
Along with this one more amazing thing about this book was there was a practice sheet at the end of every chapter which helps the reader to practice the steps in their life in a more simple way. This way one can read and make sure to apply those practices in one’s life.
Now as nothing is perfect, this book is also not. So here are some things which I do not like as a reader followed by some suggestions.
1. The paper quality is not taken care of. The book is a hard bound but the paper quality of the book is not taken care of. The print can be seen on the next page which ruins the experience.
2. The book is a very beginner guide to any of the step. Every chapter has a start, a middle and a perfect end but the content seemed a little less in terms of making it. The content could be more rich in terms of explanation and better understanding. It seemed like I already knew half the point and other half could be driven, so this book is good for beginner but not for someone who knows even a little bit more.
3. The stories in the middle of the chapters were highlighted and in this way the visibility of the text in the same is diluted. The text is not clearly visible.
Overall, it is a great book for someone who wants to know more and more about these philosophies and journey to Siddhi.
