The Book of Nâm is a book of deep wisdom. Its language is clear and accessible. The author of the book, Yoginâm, uses a terminology that is easily recognisable for readers of today.
Though the subject matter is perennial, the language in which it is written brings it alive for the needs of present day readers. This approach raises the subject matter level above the various different schools and traditions and makes it truly universal. It stresses the transcendence in which all members of humanity equally share.
Wisdom is not a knowledge that is acquired. It is rather a process of transformation. The various chapters in the Book of Nâm are invitations for reflection and contemplation. In order to assist this transformation in the second part of the book a number of practices are suggested that one can apply as recipes to enhance this psychological transformation.
Absorbing the Book of Nâm engenders a transformation towards a better life. A life in which both happiness and adversity acquire different meanings and with the ordinary situations and circumstances of daily life a state of unconditional Well-Being can be created.
