Sinopsis

More than a hundred Catholic schools have closed annually for the last six decades across the United States. Enrollment is now around a quarter of what it was at its peak in 1965. Based on the data, one may conclude that the end of Catholic schools is near. Yet hundreds of Catholic schools are thriving with increasing enrollment, delighted parents, and students who are well formed and full of wonder. Many have waitlists of students eager to attend. What is their secret? What sets great Catholic schools apart from mediocre ones?The Catholic School Playbook by Michael Ortner and Kimberly Begg documents how these successful schools are bucking the trend by focusing on their rich Catholic heritage and cultivating strong communities of students, families, and educators. In seven concise and easy-to-read chapters exploring how these schools approach their mission, hiring, teachers, finances, and more, this book offers a practical gameplan for renewing Catholic education in America.

    This is volume two of the six-volume Shankara Source Book, which contains writings by Shri Shankara, arranged systematically by subject. Shri Shankara was a great philosopher-sage who expressed the non-dual teachings in such a complete and satisfactory way that his formulation has been followed by authentic teachers of the non-dual tradition ever since. Most of his writings are in the form of commentaries on revealed texts such as the principle Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras, so what he said was placed around those texts, which are far from systematic. His aim was to demonstrate that underlying the apparent contradictions and differences on the surface, all the great revealed scriptures in fact point ultimately to one Supreme Truth. He wished to do this in order to overcome the confusion that was causing hardship to the people at large, and creating difficulties for dedicated seekers. Shankara probably lived in the 8th century, and died in his early 30s.Shankara considered other views in great detail, sometimes provisionally accepting elements of their arguments, and then pointing out where those views lead to difficulties. One of the great qualities of the non-dual teachings as formulated by Shankara is that they are able to recognise and incorporate what is valid and useful in other views. All this can make it difficult to find what Shankara said on particular subjects. To meet this difficulty, in the Source Book, the writings have been freshly translated, and brought together under subject headings. These in turn have been arranged in six volumes each covering one broad topic. These are: Volume 1 Shankara on the Absolute, Volume 2 Shankara on the Creation, Volume 3 Shankara on the Soul, Volume 4 Shankara on Rival Views, Volume 5 Shankara on Discipleship, Volume 6 Shankara on Enlightenment.

    Harmony - The Balanced Coexistence

    Harmony is the delicate balance that governs the universe, present in nature, relationships, and even within ourselves. It is not merely the absence of conflict but a state where opposing forces coexist in a way that fosters growth and stability. From the rhythmic flow of the seasons to the intricate balance of ecosystems, harmony ensures that everything functions in a synchronized and sustainable manner. 
    In many ancient philosophies, harmony is considered the key to a fulfilled life. Eastern traditions such as Taoism emphasize the importance of living in alignment with the natural flow of the universe, often referred to as the Tao. Similarly, Greek philosophers like Pythagoras and Plato believed in the mathematical and moral symmetry of existence. Across cultures, the idea of balance as a foundation for well-being has been deeply ingrained in spiritual and philosophical teachings. 
    In nature, harmony manifests through the interplay of elements. Water nourishes the land, the sun provides warmth, and the wind shapes the terrain. Each component of the natural world relies on another to maintain equilibrium. Predators and prey, flora and fauna, all exist within an intricate web where every action influences the greater whole. When this balance is disrupted—whether by natural disasters or human intervention—the consequences ripple through the environment, leading to instability.

    In Byways of Blessedness (1904), James Allen guides readers away from life’s hectic “highways” and onto the tranquil, overlooked paths that lead to true contentment. While his iconic work As a Man Thinketh establishes the universal power of thought, this book is its practical companion, detailing the specific daily practices—particularly silence and compassion—that forge a serene and virtuous character. 
    Allen maps the inner terrain of silence, framing it as the essential foundation for self-mastery. He prescribes the “divine silence” of the early morning as a sacred space to harmonize the mind and cultivate clarity. This practice, explored in chapters like “Silentness” and “Solitude,” is not mere quiet but an active discipline to calm inner turmoil and hear one’s higher nature. The parallel path is compassion, which Allen defines as the act of “abandoning the inward selfishness and putting pure love in its place”. This transforms duty into joy and is presented as the key to shedding the burdens of a lower self. 
    These intertwined practices facilitate the conscious development of the higher self. Allen frames this as a patient triumph over the “inward foe,” achieved through the “byways” of right beginnings, small duties, and hidden sacrifices. The destination is a state of calm sovereignty, where one becomes the “king of mind, body, and circumstance”. 
    Allen’s wisdom was forged in hardship. After his father was robbed and murdered, the 15-year-old Allen left school to work. Inspired by Tolstoy, he abandoned a secretarial career for a life of contemplation in Ilfracombe, writing only messages he had “lived out in his own life”. Though his literary career lasted just nine years, his philosophy became a cornerstone for the self-help genre, directly influencing figures like Norman Vincent Peale and Napoleon Hill. Byways of Blessedness is a quintessential expression of that legacy—a compassionate, lived manual for building lasting peace from within.
