To Live Within: A Woman's Spiritual Pilgrimage in a Himalayan Hermitage

Summary: Samkhya and Gurdjieff
Review: To Live Within has value for those who study Yoga philosophy as well as those who study Gurdjieff.
It is a story of the writer's long time relationship with her teacher Sri Anirvan and her efforts to follow his teachings.
Sri Anirvan's own studies included the Vedas and his teaching has elements of these ancient texts going back three thousand years.
The concept of 'Sahaja' is defined as Yoga in life. Sri Anirvan: 'To accept Prakriti in its totality is pure Sahaja'... And what has Gurdjieff created for you in the West? Surely a field of prakriti corresponding to your own possibilities.'
