This is an extraordinary book of letters written by Swami Kriyananda in response to questions and inquiries from friends, students, and critics over a 30 year period. It addresses almost any concern a spiritual seeker might have. Topics for which Swami ji provides spiritual guidance include: how to meditate deeply; strengthen one's faith; develop divine attunement; accelerate spiritual progress; overcome negative self-judgment; respond to illness; develop the right attitude toward money and profit; become a good leader; attract a mate; understand sexuality; and raise children. In closing his letters?all of them, not just the ones in this book?Swami Kriyananda customarily signs off with "In divine friendship", thus the title of the book. This is no clich?. He feels a friendship with each individual from having first felt the universal friendship of God's presence in inner silence. From that center, he sees all people as well as all things as opportunities for communing with that Presence without.
