The Churning of the Heart trilogy, of which this is the third and final volume, is a factual account of the true inner state of a spiritual aspirant in whom one finds on one hand there exists an attraction to and an invitation from the world, and on the other a yearning due to separation from the Lord and a mental state filled with discontent. Under these circumstances, the powerful, inspirational and invaluable words of Swami Vishnu Tirth Maharaj, now one with the Absolute, and his accounts of spiritually elevating incidents are like a pillar of light. A spiritual aspirant sees the path of his own spiritual journey, which he had lost and forgotten, clearly illuminated in its glow. The absurdity of the world becomes clear, the awareness of what is a duty and non-duty blooms and a spiritual aspirant marches forward on his spiritual path.
