Thanks Marcy. I'll look Meher Baba up as I haven't encountered his work before.
Would you have ever read any of Krishnamurti's work?
Also, I recently read a lovely and inspiring book by Satish Kumar entitled: "You are therefore I am: A Declaration of Dependence". It really is a wonderful book and the author, a former Jain Monk who was very much inspired by Gandhi, is also editor of a UK magazine called "Resurgence", itself a very motivating and inspirational monthly which includes articles on spirituality, ecology and the environment. You can look him, the magazine and the book up on Google.
For the record I also find Thich Nhat Hanh's writing to be very inspiring - I particularly liked his book "Creating True Peace" and its emhasis on cultivating mindfulness throughout your life.
lots of love
