To those who believe in God, this book teaches how to pray without words, without thoughts, without ideas. One learns how to pray with the heart, not the head. The practices developed by Anthony de Mello allows the reader to follow them alone or with a group. If the reader was faithful in doing the practice in each chapter, at the end of the book: joy, peace, love, tolerance and wisdom will follow. One cannot stay in the sun without getting tanned.

I was describing my spiritual search and was shown this book. It was what I have been searching for without knowing it, how to combine Christianity and the contemplative. Excellent.

Tony de Mello was a psychologist and writer. And more than that he was catholic, a jesuit, a poet and a mystic.
When you read his books you have to bear in mind that his spiritual experience and teachings are based and focused from these facts: that God surround us in nature, that spirituality is a multi layered experience, that people are complex, and the "Spiritual Exercises" that culprit of spirituality written by San Ignatius of Loyola, .
Thus, Sahdana is a happy mixture of both indian spirituality (meditation, yoga, pantheism) and christian contemplation (God and Jesus as the center of every experience. All in all, it is a deep exercise of religious dialoge, in which religious people can gain from each other's beliefs and richness, not wanting to convince or overwhelm the other.
Sahdana is a way to perfection, to fulfillment, because it gives a clue to oneself.
. It's a book on christian spiritual growth, but I think others can benefit from its lecture and use, if they make some little exceptions due to the basic catholic background.
This is not a book for "self improvement" in a marketing short of way, nor a "new age" book, but a rich life experience.
