Like the Bible, you can open this book anywhere and find incredible answers. It is written so elegantly simple that any 5-year old can take the info and run with it. If the Bible is your lifetime reference book, this book is your "quickstart guide". Read it once and you're off and running in life. Sure, you can go back and crack it open to marvel at the simplicity and utility of the message, but you won't need to when you understand the meditation exercise.
The US government passes out birth certificates and social security numbers, both of which are useless. If they would pass out this book instead, we would genuinely have a near-zero tax, 100% free utopia (or as close as we could get on this side of heaven).
The alternative to understanding this book is to simply enjoy suffering and dying. I'm not exaggerating, it really is that good. Buy, beg, or steal this book. You need it!
