“Things of the past are an illusion of the fleeting imagination of our mind and will never have any meaning for those who were its actors. And through this fact, we discovered why and how humans increase so much the sorrow and suffering of their lives. Ruminate indefinitely the bit from past experiences, thereby losing the significance of Now, because the past no longer exists within the context of time and space.”
The short text above, intense and meaningful, was taken from the book “In Days of Great Peace” written by Mouni Sadhu (1879-1971), whose first English edition was published in 1952.
The book had an immense repercussion worldwide because reveals the real and personal experience of a man desirous of knowing the meaning and influences of being in the physical presence of one of the most respected Hindu sages, Sri Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950). In this book, the author does not attempt to record any of his teachings, just his spoken words, wisdom, and the vibrations emanating from Maharshi... his gaze, his gestures, his profound silence, which was eventually broken with words spoken out from the intimate presence of the Divine Presence that dwelled in his own being, free from all boundaries of ego, from the handcuffs that hold the profane man.
Due to the repercussions of this book, the Brazilian publishers, Editora Pensamento, invited prof Huberto Rohden (1893-1981), to preface the new edition of 1954, titled “Em Dias de Grande Paz” which resulted in a complete revision and footnotes contributing even more to guarantee the preciousness of this book.
