I am currently reading a recently released book by Subhadra Sen Gupta named "Nirvana - Buddhist pilgrimages in India".
I like the book. It details the life of the Buddha and all the places he lived in, preached in, or touched upon.
It has a historical feel to it, but is not boring. I have enjoyed reading it. The details differ slightly from other books such as Ten thousand Miles without a cloud and The Historical Buddha.
While reading this book, I have felt my antaryamin (the in-dweller or higher self) grow stronger - thus i look positively upon the book.

When God and Man meet
There are 2 ways one can be associated with God. One is to search for someone who can lead you to God, or try to find God by yourself. In other words, here it's your effort. You are never sure till the end whether God really exists. You may die without really knowing one way or another.
The other is when God's consciousness (?) starts to mingle with yours, filling you with love and joy. In this case, the call is irresistible. There is no possibility of following a wrong path or being fooled or cheated. God's presence is as certain as ones own existence. God's presence is more certain, more meaningful than one's own existence. I can only speak for myself in this case, the only purpose left of living is a complete merger. Here it is debatable whether any effort on one's part can hasten what has to come.
I experience Him/ His consciousness mingling with mine. I experience God in the form of the Buddha slowly entering my consciousness. The wait is agonizing, but will surely be worth it.
