Izvori: razmišljanja o životu

The book Wellsprings (Croatian edition published in 1995) is one of the most renowned and influential works by the Indian Jesuit, psychotherapist, and spiritual teacher Anthony de Mello. Designed as a manual for practical meditation and personal prayer, the book offers structured spiritual exercises intended for anyone seeking deeper meaning, inner peace, and a more authentic relationship with God, oneself, and others. In this work, de Mello masterfully blends rich Christian tradition and Ignatian spirituality with insights from Eastern philosophy and modern psychology. Through a series of brief guided reflections, guided imagery, and meditative exercises, the author encourages the reader to slow down, become aware of their own breath, body, and feelings, and recognize the presence of the Divine in everyday life. A central theme is liberation from the blind attachments, fears, and illusions that create suffering and prevent one from living in complete freedom and love. Written in simple, warm, and direct language, this work requires no prior theological knowledge—only an open heart and a readiness for an inner journey. Wellsprings remains a timeless spiritual guide that refreshes the soul and helps us discover a source of inexhaustible strength and peace within ourselves.
