Book Review
PEARLS OF WISDOM FOR A HOME SWEET HOME
(ART OF MEANINGFUL HARMONIOUS INTEGRAL LIVING
WITH HOLISTIC INNER LIFE UNDERSTANDING)
Compiled by Mrs. Shaila Mulji
This is a recent
publication on a very important matter touching everybody in day-to-day life.
Of course, there are quite a good number of Titles published on marital &
family life, however this is an unique one having approached the issues
relating conflicts/clashes/disharmony in homely life in the backdrop of
holistic understanding of human life & living as revealed through dialogues
with a self-realized Master Holistic Guide Late A. M. Patel (popularly known as
Dada Bhagawan- 1908-1988 A.D.) who himself lived an illustrious marital life of
over sixty years.
The book starts
with introduction of the Master Holistic Guide , present holistic guide Shri
Kanudadaji alongside his message and blessings to the readers. The book has a
nice foreword written by Dr. Radha P. Krishnan, President of Holistic Science
Charitable Research Foundation (HSCRF) and acknowledgements by the author.
The dialogues have
been compiled topic-wise in an interesting manner in the form of Pearls
followed by insights revealed by the Author from each pearl; hence also
facilitate cursory reading initially or even reading as also re-readings at
random as the topic attracts the reader’s interest.
The dialogues are
so colloquial and vivid that while reading the Book, the reader will himself
feel like conversing with the great holistic guide. As rightly said the benefit
of reading great personalities is next to sitting with them and listening. The
dialogues in the book actually took place in Gujarati language in the decades
of 1970 & 1980 in India and USA which were tape-recorded, transcripted and
now translated by the author for the benefit of English speaking readers.
For an example,
some of the pearls are titled
- · How Can There Be Distressful Conflicts In The Home?
- · With Correct Understanding Distressful Conflict Abated.
- · Tremendous Liability of Freebees.
- · The Lord Does Not Dwell Where There is Conflict.
- · Make The Home A Conflict–free Abode!
- · Wrongful Earning Will Cause Distressful Conflict.
- · Correct Understanding Heals Relative Relational Life.
- · Where Distressful Conflict Is Broken, There Is Delight.
- · There is Bliss Where The Mind Is Free From Conflict.
- · Truly Cultured Living Is Where Conflict is Diminishing
- · Perverse Intellect Fuels Distressful Conflicts.
- · Gentle Carefulness At The Time of Conflict.
- · You Cannot Become Peaceful By Bullying.
- · Is It Worth Creating Conflicts to Cover–Up Your So-Called Reputation?
- · Living Together In The Home And So Why Conflicts?
- · Salute To The Home Where There Are No Conflicts.
- · Authentic Heart-Centred Inner Living is Conflict–Free.

- · By Resonating Positively, Noisy Drama Subsides.
- · The Root of Pain & Suffering is Self Ignorance.
- · A True Guru is One Who Removes Conflicts.
- · Apology For Hurtful Speech.
- · Where There is Positive Intent, There Are No Conflicts.
….and so on and so
forth the reading journey continues taking the reader gradually at higher and
higher echelons of understanding which will not only make his home a Sweet Home
as the Title depicts but also will prove to be a great book on self-help for
human interactions and dealings everywhere in every role in one’s personal as
also professional life.
This invaluable
book does not merely touch the sensitive issue of familial relationships
superficially but at the level of core understanding, belief and even social
and spiritual level and can help in self-discovery which may gradually bring
home a positive and pragmatic approach.
At the end, there are 'Nine Invaluable (Priceless) Diamonds (Ideal Code of Conduct)' in the form of a prayer one may ask his own Revered God on whom he/she has ultimate faith, may be from any religion of world for bestowing the necessary wisdom and understanding essential for smooth sailing in the Life. There is also a valuable Summary given by Dr. Shailesh Mehta, M.S. (Ophthalmologist), Vadodara, Gujarat, India who himself has a long direct experiences with the Holistic Guide and has been associated for the noble cause of universal peace through diffusion of the Holistic Science of Human Life & Living.
I would recommend
that the book be read again and again by the couples so as to make their Home a
Sweet Home which is indeed a wish cherished by every couple around the globe.
The book can be an ideal gift to one self, spouse or friends on the occasion of
marriage anniversary.
