In "The Precious Gift of Eli" there are twenty interviews where each contributor attempts to share their very precious moments in Satsang with Eli, as a testimony to the lineage that began with Ramana Maharshi. It is written in the spirit of appreciation for the teacher and the teachings, and it is hoped that it inspires others on their path of self-realisation. Eli uses traditional Satsang and the Enneagram as vehicles for self -realisation. In his own words he says, "The great gift of the enneagram is that it exquisitely describes who you are not. It shows the veiling of true consciousness by habits of egoic identification." By lifting the veil and seeing through our unconscious patterns of behaviour, strategies and games, we come to rest in the absolute Truth of who we really are, beyond fixation. Each interview describes the contrbutor's spiritual path from their lives prior to awakening, to moments where their realisation deepened and the impact of awakening on their lives. It is the writer's intention to pace and lead the reader so that their own realisation deepens. "The Precious Gift of Eli" is a resource for all those who are curious about awakening, as well as those who, like each contributor, feel a fierce longing to awaken to ever-deepening Truths. In the words of Papaji, Eli's teacher: "May All Beings Be Happy And Free. Om shanti. Om Shanti. Om Shanti. "
