Customer Reviews

These are wise poems.

These wise poems and aphorisms point to the heart of meditation, beyond (or rather prior to) all technique. Rabbin reminds us that true meditation is simply being the Mystery of who we really are, free from effort and manipulation.

These poems are a love-swing.

I wholeheartedly endorse this book. Robert's poetry is a love-swing between the two worlds of doing and being. His poems transport us into the world of mystery and revelation our hearts so long for. Robert knows our everyday experiences are permeated with divine revelation. His poetry points directly to That. Echoes of Silence is direct and delivered with the revelatory voice of the skilled mentor. His voice is one we should well heed.

Timeless as the soul.

Rabbin's sutras are as timeless as the soul, providing a nourishing nectar for our hungry spirits. Packed with the wisdom of a true sage, this is a book you can read over and over since the words on its pages are ageless and will serve the soul forever. I will keep it with me always.

The same well-spring as Rumi.

Robert Rabbin drinks from the same well-spring as Rumi. He is a champion like Ali because his words float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. I love Echoes of Silence. I couldn't wait until the next word, the next phrase because they took me to a place I've always wanted to go, but didn't know how to get there. The book is more than words to be read. It is an experience. I was held gently, and I was shaken, but whether resting in comfort or vibrating with what I had just read, I felt closer to the heart of meditation.

Defines the indefinable.

Once again, Robert Rabbin has managed to define the indefinable....to bring understanding to what seems incomprehensible for many of us. His unique and gifted style of turning words into wisdom brings clarity to the silence within us. Echoes of Silence is truly the meditation guidebook for the new Millennium.
