How has enlightenment, the ultimate goal of all sacred traditions, affected the lives of those who have attained it? What has it meant to saints living in modern societies as well as to traditional masters? Is there a common ground between Tantric or Zen, Christian or Jewish, Sufi or Taoist ways to enlightenment?

I couldn't finish this book. As hard as I tried, it's way too abstract for me to understand; it focuses more on mystical traditions than mainstream theology. Or maybe it's just written badly! I might return to it in a few years. ( )
