It offers practical, heart-centered practices like Bhakti Yoga, meditation, and mantra, alongside transformative perspectives on suffering and aging. Highly rated and beloved by readers, this book invites you to live fully in the present moment and become a beacon of unconditional love. ## Description Sometimes illumination occurs spontaneously or, as Ram Dass experienced, in a heart-wrenching moment of opening. More commonly, it happens when we polish the mirror of the heart with daily practice―and see beyond the illusion of our transient thoughts and emotions to the vast and luminous landscape of our true nature. For five decades, Ram Dass has explored the depths of consciousness and love and brought them to life as service to others. With Polishing the Mirror , he gathers together his essential teachings for living in the eternal present, here and now. Readers will find within these pages a rich combination of perennial wisdom, humor, teaching stories, and detailed guidance on Ram Dass' own spiritual practices, including: Bhakti Yoga―opening our hearts to unconditional love • Practices for living, aging, dying, and embracing the natural flow of life • Karma Yoga―how selfless service can profoundly transform us • Working with fear and suffering as a path to grace and freedom • Step-by-step guidance in devotional chant, meditation and mantra practice, and much more For those new to Ram Dass' teachings, and for those to whom they are old friends, here is this vanguard spiritual explorer's complete guide to discovering who we are and why we are here, and how to become beacons of unconditional love. Review: Wisdom and life practice. - This is a Bible for me. I read it slowly. A sement at a time. Slowly digesting. At the end. I begin again. Every time parts seem brand new. I consider. It steadies my path. Gives me hope. This is a favorite book. Review: Inspiring Book - Helped Push Me Into My Soul - I loved this book. The most inspiring part for me was the idea of how to deal with suffering. I'd often read that one reason we have pain is to develop compassion. Another is to give other people the chance to evolve by helping us. I have a lot of pain that keeps me up at night and keeps me from being able to do a lot things. I would wake with pain and think, Why? What's the point of this? There's no one here with me so I can't be giving anyone else a chance of evolving by being with me. And I have plenty of compassion, so it can't be for that. I'm wasted, unable to help anyone. Ram Dass said that suffering can push you into your soul. The ego is caught up in the storyline of this incarnation, lost in the details of the melodrama, the blame and injustice. It identifies with the pain whereas when you are pushed into your soul, the eternal part of you, you can be a witness to the pain. You're in the body and with the pain, but you aren't the pain. That works for me. I had a flashback to a previous incarnation years ago when I was doing Focusing. I can't think of the author's name now, but that's the name of the book. It's a great sort of mindful focus on what's going on in your body. Anyhoo, I was blown away by a flashback resulting from that practice, because I didn't believe in reincarnation up until then. It helps to remember this is just one of many lives we're going through. Find a way to evolve from the pain, to benefit. It is making me quiet inside after a lifetime of noise. Ram Dass tells so many fascinating stories in this book, so much about his life. He says he lost faith for a few years after he had his stroke. It's easier to suggest - witness the pain - then to do it. But it works and he did come back to faith. I want to see his documentary - Fierce Grace - about his stroke. ## Features - Polishing the Mirror: How to Live from Your Spiritual Heart ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #135,399 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #88 in Spiritualism #896 in Spiritual Self-Help (Books) #1,153 in Personal Transformation Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,276 Reviews | ## Images ![Polishing the Mirror: How to Live from Your Spiritual Heart - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vqxFnrGZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wisdom and life practice. *by R***E on November 21, 2025* This is a Bible for me.
