A collection of talks on the spiritual life of Gurumayi Chidvilasananda titled "Courage and Contentment" offers inspiration and reveals wisdom. It also serves as a guide for transformation. Courage and contentment are presented humorously and refreshingly as important virtues on the spiritual path. At the same time, these qualities represent a state that already exists within the highest self in each of us. Gurumayi Chidvilasananda's invitation to the reader to embark on a quest for courage and contentment and to rediscover these virtues within themselves is filled with love and strength. Throughout all the chapters, which explore the theme from different perspectives, a common thread runs: God is within us, accessible in every moment and at every place. "Courage and Contentment" is a collection of talks that Gurumayi delivered in 1996 and 1997.
