Clarity is Power by Mahatria Ra (formerly Shri Rangarajan) of Infinitheism (Alma Mater).

The 'Clarity is Power' book set box contains 11 books in the format of Questions & Answers on the following topics: 1. Attitudes 2. Self-Discipline 3. Emotional Development 4. Relationships 5. Marriage 6. Parenting 7. Student Life 8. Career Growth 9. Organisational Leadership 10. Spirituality 11. Faith

I started highlighting/marking important ideas, Keywords and phrases that caught my attention, while doing that, I almost marked every sentence. Its crisp, up to the point, distilled insight fomenting your attention all through. Ultimately, it leaves you feeling the thoughts of this Great Soul.

The questions are simple, day to day dilemma’s a normal individual faces. Those when asked and subsequently answered by the Author, it gains profundity. It has really given clarity in thought & the thinking process. These booklets, each of about 40-45 pages, are independent, dealing with the title topic. When you read one after another, there is bound to be repetition. That will just help in reminding and consolidating the point of view.

On tricky issue of relationships, which is dynamic and subjective, the author has delicately and appropriately handled issues of extramarital affairs & divorces – unsatisfied life, envy of father-in-law, mother-in-law etc, he has taken a very balanced approach, instead of taking popular trendy path, stressing on the framework of thinking instead of being judgemental.

Some random catchy phrases, pen & paper gives a direction to your thinking and also keeps the mind focussed; Pleasure and Pain are the navigations of human behaviour; Life is about forward progress & not backward regression; The hater always suffers; Yesterday was over yesterday. This is the plan on which life is built; Intimacy can be built in a relationship by being transparent; do benchmark yourself with your value system; None can be all things to everybody; bring about change in the conditioning of the person.

A booklet of this size is not expected to deal with deeper issues comprehensively; however, it is successful in connecting the superficial to the fundamental in patches. Further, it stitches together all ages, relationships, lifestyle, work issues, growth, evolution and finally the occult.   

Somehow, printer’s nightmares in the form of typo error have crept in, though sparingly.

Having rated this as Top class, I had decided to relevantly gift some booklets on respective occasions. However, though each booklet is independently readable, they are not individually available.  

Finally, it appears the recent print is exhausting, leading to more demand and less supply situation. This was apparent when, I tried ordering bulk copies – from MRP of Rs 999, both Flipkart & Amazon zoomed it to Rs 1999. Not wanting to fall for exploitation, I remained inactive; since then it was available for the MRP on Flipkart. Now, it is out of stock.     

Revised reprints should be considered ASAP.

Though, I am still a seeker and the author is the sought, while reviewing and submitting, I have tried with effort not to be subjective
