Put Here Your Greatest(s) Spiritual Book(s) ! :)

[Ramu]

The Untethered Soul, by Michael Singer

[Dodo]

Adyashanti - The End of your world

This is one of the most helpful books out there! Must read.

@Danielle I see you already recommended it. I guess I am striking the point home ?

I would say pretty much anything by Ramana Maharshi:

• Talks with Ramana Maharshi
• The Collected Works of  Sri Ramana Maharshi
• The Spiritual Teachings of Ramana Maharshi
• Be As You Are: The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi
• Sri Ramana Gita

I also like Bankei:

• The Unborn: The Life and Teachings of Zen Master Bankei
• Bankei Zen

Also would recommend The Zen Teachings of Huang Po.

It is very short, but I also like the Hsin Hsin Ming by Seng-ts'an (3rd Patriarch of Zen)...a free version is here.

As for Spiritual Books for beginners - my first book was Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda...and I recommend it.

I have been re-reading The Truth Is by Sri H.W.L. Poonja (aka Papaji...Gangaji's teacher)...it is good.

Adyashanti has been mentioned...and I have read a few of his books, listened to a few of his audios, and watched a few videos...all have been good.

Eckhart Tolle has been mentioned...and I recommend it for being present.

Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki is also very good.

 

I guess these are my favorite books.

Who am I...that is the second "book" that starts on page 36 of my copy of The Collected Works of  Sri Ramana Maharshi.

The Wisdom of Insecurity, by Alan Watts

I Am, by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

On Having no Head, by Douglas Harding

[Gopackgo]

Transformations in consciousness, By Franklin Merrell-Wolff

Living Non-duality, by Robert Wolfe

Both available free on google, and both straight forward looks at thought processes from a big picture perspective. The first one is really a good one for challenging your most basic assumptions. For me one of the thoughts that initiated awakening was a simple thought: "what if you are wrong?" After that, no assumption was safe.

Courage - Osho

[electroBeam]

The secret of secrets by Osho.

This book is amazing. Not only does it teach you how to meditate, but it shows you a technique that is specifically designed for people who have a severe case of Monkey mind. He says specifically that the mind is dynamic, and teaches you how to calm those fluctuations down specifically.
