Worshiping God as Divine Mother
explores the formless nature of the Divine Mother, drawing on Bengali devotional poetry and the lives of Ramakrishna and his own guru. He argues that attachment to any form of God must give way to recognition of an infinite underlying presence. He closes with a personal account of how his songwriting began unexpectedly in 1964, framing creativity as divine gift rather than personal achievement.

Whatever Comes of Itself, Let It Come — with Swami Kriyananda
The spiritual path aims to replace all desires with a singular, positive desire for God. Even seemingly small desires bind us to the physical realm. Suicide fails to achieve oneness because it lacks desire for God, leading to karmic consequences. However, selfless death differs. We mustn't merely give up desires but rather illuminate them with God's light and joy by accepting life's experiences, not despising our bodies or God’s work, sharing our desires with God, changing habits through convincing the mind to redirect its focus, and finally, dedicating all of our actions to God.
