Transcript of this section of Maneck's lecture:
One’s personality can be likened to a huge mass of clay, part of which is molded into shape and form. That which is unused remains dead. Constant effort and the desire to grow expand and improve leads to power, charm, and perfection. This is the law of life, and the law of spirit progression.
Suppose there is a thirty or fifty pound piece of clay here. As it is, it is worth about a dollar. But suppose a master tends that image and makes a beautiful four dimensional bust or a statue out of it, and that same piece of clay, with proper molding and coloring, is transformed into fifty dollars or five hundred dollars.
Well all that clay is within your brain power, within your subconscious self. Will you tap it, will you exploit it? Or are you going to let it be submerged and dried up at the bottom of the lake just because you are not alert and sensitive to its presence?
Suppose you had in front of you an opportunity of winning or having a million dollars – right here in this room, on this table, on this chair, on this table. Will you come and run after it? it’s yours for the taking. Tens of millions of dollars are lying in your subconscious self if you can tap it.

Philosopher, metaphysician, storyteller,
and teacher of practical and esoteric wisdom
for a happy, healthy, and successful life
A discovery of fifty-year-old reel-to-reel audio tapes with spiritual, metaphysical, psychological, and scientific lectures by a wonderful Indian philosopher who was close friends with Gandhi, Yogananda, and other greats.
Filled with good advice for body, mind, soul, and spirit, powerful metaphysical truths for spiritual realization, and practical tools to help you manifest greater health, happiness, and personal evolution in your own life.
Maneck Anklesaria was born in India in 1899. At age 18, he worked with Mohandas Gandhi for several years, and again worked with Gandhi at age 30. Anklesaria studied at the University of Michigan, and spoke widely throughout the United States and the world for decades, sharing the spiritual wisdom of India with spiritual seekers and students, many of whom experienced great personal benefits from practicing the knowledge and suggestions he offered.
Maneck's content and speaking style is interesting, entertaining, charming, practical, spiritual and scientific, psychological and metaphysical, and applicable to one's own life and spiritual journey.
We have just begun the process of going through forty reel-to-reel tapes of Maneck's lectures from the late 1950s and early 1960s, and are sharing some excerpts here for the benefit of today's seekers who are looking for inspiring, practical, and authentic spiritual advice.
The "lost tapes of Maneck" include full-length lectures on many fascinating topics, including: Understanding Nature’s finer forces, Finding Our Real Self, “The Inner I Am,” The Law of Soul Progression: Karma and Reincarnation, The Alchemy of Spiritual Love, The State of Tranquility, “Rousing Conciousness, Mental Clarvoyance and Clairaudience, Art of Meditation, Healing and Occult Phenomena, Lesson on Love and Marriage, Studies into Nature Consciousness with Relation, Human Evolution, Kaya-Kalpa Art of One At Onement with the Universal Nature Symphony, Divine Healing and Service, Getting Recharged Daily, Your Body is a Metaphysical Expression, Dynamic Brain Power, and more.
