Racing Along the Razor's Edge
By Swami Ramakrishnanada
27 September 2003
Another book published by Mata Amritanandamayi Math
released to the world on the day of Amma's birthday
was Racing Along the Razor's Edge by Swami
Ramakrishnananda, one of Amma's senior disciples.
The book takes its title from a sloka in the the Kathopanishad,
which reads: "Arise, awake, approach the Great Masters
and become enlightened. Arduous is the path, as difficult
to tread as the sharp edge of a razor, so say the wise." But
as Swami Ramakrishnanada explains through this book,
Mahatmas like Amma are here to help us tread this path
with relative ease. |

The book is full of practical spiritual advice that Swamiji
has gleaned from Amma since coming under Her wing in the 1970s.
Within the book's 277 pages, he investigates the cause of sorrow,
the importance of having a Guru, the paths of devotion, knowledge
and action, renunciation and God's Grace.
