The Fakir: Thoughts And Prayers summarizes the principles outlined in the two previous Fakir books by the author. The compiled wisdom can help the readers understand the deeper aspects of life and death, and help them live a more fuller, happier life. Summary Of The Book Rudra is a young man disillusioned with life. He wants to end his life, and has no motivation or will to carry on living. He is, in fact, a man in need of help and guidance. Help soon arrives in a chance encounter. While driving through heavy traffic, he finds a man lying injured on the road and rushes to help him. That man, a fakir, then takes him on a stupendous journey. The Fakir: Thoughts And Prayers summarizes that journey and the fakir’s wisdom. Rudra is taken on a guided tour of the spiritual realms. As the Fakir takes Rudra through these realms, he teaches the young man valuable lessons about how to live life. Rudra converses with the master and is enlightened on all aspects of life. The book discusses divine love, karma, faith, prayer, and forgiveness. It teaches the reader, as well as Rudra, not to fear either life or death. These are just two different aspects of a spiritual journey that is eternal. Life, the book says, is to be lived in the moment, as that was the state of the ancient sages and seekers. Living in the moment means going with the flow of life, and surrendering to the Divine. This, the author says, is the way to experience the joy of life. While life exists on this physical plane, death is not the end, it just means the spirit passes on to another plane. It still continues its existence and experience, in another realm. Death does not mean the end of relationships on earth, as the spirit meets the spirits of others who have passed on before. The Fakir: Thoughts And Prayers collects the powerful messages and teachings in the previous two books, The Fakir and The Fakir: The Journey Continues. About Ruzbeh N. Bharucha Ruzbeh N.
