Light on Life’s Difficulties


Read by Audio Andrea

(4.6 stars; 165 reviews)

When a man enters a dark room he is not sure of his movements, he cannot see objects around him, or properly locate them, and is liable to hurt himself by coming into sudden contact with them. But let a light be introduced, and immediately all confusion disappears. Every object is seen, and there is no danger of being hurt. To the majority, life is such a dark room, and their frequent hurts—their disappointments, perplexities, sorrows and pains—are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes, difficulties are dissolved, all things are seen in their true place and proportion, and henceforth the man walks open-eyed and unhurt, in the clear light of wise comprehension. - Summary by James Allen (2 hr 32 min)

this is a great work learn to practice selflessness


(5 stars)

All my life I have been look the repair my life, I never realized at getting ones thoughts in order would bring about real change. I always thought that I needed to focus in why I feel the way I feel. Little did I know that it was the mental frame work of my mind that was causing most of my problems. This book really helped me put into perspective what kinds of things cause mental problems, it shows what kind of things to avoid and how to hold a good mental attutide though right thought and action.

The best book I have come across


(5 stars)

James Allen's masterpiece. Very instructive and full of wisdom. Irrefutable knowledge. One of a kind. Incredible work of art. The epitome of Truth. Like no other book. I recommend to everyone irrespective of religion or Creed. Every school of philosophy should use it as a study guide. Full of liberation. One for the ages. Golden standard doctrine.

Timely
