Elena Gutierrez starts HER review of the book by stating --- and I am pretty much in accord with what she says and why the recommendation --- "...(the book is) one of the best instruction manuals for getting Enlightened that (has) ever been written." Then she goes into a review posted in the Amazon.com Customer Review section that tears the book apart. Gutierrez then follows up with:
Enlightenment books -- the useful ones -- contain instructions for getting
enlightened. You're supposed to follow the instructions, get enlightened, and
become wise.
Unfortunately, this reader's (that is, the Amazon.com review writer's) misunderstanding is very common. People think
enlightenment is about absorbing wisdom from wise sayings.
Sorry, that's not how it works. The way it works is, the book tells you what to do.
The doing makes you wise.
Those few paragraphs make fairly clear my intentions in the matter.
