The literary world welcomes a deeply reflective spiritual work titled Master, Me, and Broken Wheel of Time by Dr. Sonali Bagade. This contemplative book invites readers on an inward journey of inquiry, devotion, and self-realization, exploring the timeless questions that arise in the heart of every spiritual seeker. Rather than presenting spirituality as a rigid system of practices or techniques, the book gently unfolds the lived experience of a seeker searching for the answer to the profound question: “Why?”
In Master, Me, and Broken Wheel of Time, the narrative revolves around the inner quest of a seeker whose intellect continuously searches for answers that logic alone cannot fully comprehend. Through this journey, the author reflects on how devotion, meditation, disciplined inquiry, and above all the grace of the Master or Guru gradually illuminate the path of understanding. The book does not attempt to offer definitive conclusions or philosophical arguments. Instead, it presents a thoughtful reflection on the transformation that occurs when a seeker turns inward and begins to explore the deeper dimensions of consciousness.
The work gracefully navigates themes such as devotion, meditation, and the subtle experiences that arise during the inward spiritual journey. It also touches upon the dissolving of duality and the realization that the answers we often seek outside ourselves have always existed within. Through a tone of humility and reverence, the book honors the ancient Guru–Śiṣya tradition, emphasizing the role of guidance, surrender, and grace in spiritual evolution. The author encourages readers not merely to understand spirituality intellectually, but to cultivate the courage to look inward and experience truth personally.
At its heart, the book serves as an invitation to introspection. It gently reminds readers that the path toward truth is both deeply personal and universally shared. Each individual walks their own path, yet the destination remains the same: the realization of the deeper reality that lies beyond fear, confusion, and separation. As the seeker’s questions gradually dissolve, what remains is a quiet awareness and a sense of grace that has always been present.
The author, Dr. Sonali Bagade, brings a unique perspective to this work. Professionally, she is an ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon based in Maharashtra, India. Alongside her medical practice, she is also an artist who enjoys watercolor painting during her spare time. Beyond her professional and artistic pursuits, Dr. Bagade has been deeply engaged in the study of Hindu spiritual traditions and the wisdom that emerges through sincere self-inquiry.
Her spiritual exploration has been influenced by the teachings of revered saints such as Samarth Ramdas, Saint Dnyaneshwar, and Saint Muktabai. She has been particularly inspired by how their timeless teachings resonate with the insights of more recent spiritual teachers such as Om Swami, as well as the profound spiritual legacy of Paramahansa Yogananda. Through these influences, Dr. Bagade discovered a deep connection with the inward path of meditation and devotion.
From the moment of spiritual initiation, her focus gradually turned toward the inner journey, which eventually became the central inspiration behind this book. Meditation forms the core of her spiritual practice, though other aspects of devotion and contemplation have also played a meaningful role in shaping her understanding. Through continuous reflection, devotion, and personal exploration, she seeks to understand the deeper nature of Maya and the spiritual truths that unfold through the grace of the Guru.
Master, Me, and Broken Wheel of Time reflects a part of Dr. Bagade’s personal journey as a seeker. It explores the mysterious veil of Maya, the guiding presence of the Guru, and the inner path that leads toward liberation and spiritual awakening. The book stands as a humble offering—an expression of gratitude toward the silent wisdom that reveals itself when the mind’s questions fade and the seeker rests in the grace that has always been present.
Through its reflective narrative and sincere spiritual exploration, the book offers readers a gentle yet powerful reminder that the deepest truths are not found in external achievements or intellectual debates, but in the quiet stillness within. For anyone who has ever wondered about the deeper meaning of existence, the nature of consciousness, or the role of a spiritual guide, Master, Me, and Broken Wheel of Time provides a thoughtful and inspiring companion on the path of self-discovery.
