Uncover the core of goodness within.

Love, compassion, meaning, hope, and freedom from fear are not qualities we need to acquire. We simply need to uncover what we already have. Original Goodness is Eknath Easwaran's phrase for this spark of divinity hidden in every one of us, regardless of our personal liabilities or past mistakes.

Easwaran is one of the twentieth century's great spiritual teachers and an authentic guide to timeless wisdom. His books on meditation, spiritual living, and the classics of world mysticism have been translated into twenty-six languages.

Commenting on the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount, Easwaran shows how this spark of divinity can energise our lives beginning with a simple method of meditation that gradually removes the conditioning that hides our native goodness.

Revised second edition (July 2017) has a new cover, minor corrections, and a comfortable new size and updated interior layout.
