Practical and Devotional Mysticism is a book written by W.R. Inge, a renowned British theologian and philosopher. The book explores the concept of mysticism and its practical and devotional applications in everyday life. Inge delves into the mystical experiences of various religious traditions, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, and examines the commonalities and differences between them. The book is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on practical mysticism, which involves the cultivation of a mystical attitude towards life, while the second part delves into devotional mysticism, which involves the personal experience of God. Inge argues that both forms of mysticism are essential for a fulfilling spiritual life and that they complement each other. The author also discusses the role of meditation, prayer, and contemplation in mysticism and provides practical advice on how to incorporate these practices into one's daily routine. Inge emphasizes the importance of a disciplined and focused approach to mysticism, and he cautions against the dangers of excessive emotionalism and superstition. Overall, Practical and Devotional Mysticism is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a comprehensive exploration of mysticism and its practical applications. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in spirituality, religion, and the pursuit of a deeper understanding of the divine.THIS 86 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Christian Mysticism, by W.
