This is the story of the Holy or mystic life in India, as told by a disciple reminiscing upon many years of association with his beloved Hindu teacher. Through a narrative blend of actual incidents in the lives of several disciples, Mr. Hall personally knew many wise teachers upon whom the principal characters of the story were modeled. In this journey, the Hindu way of life is made comprehensible to Western minds, so that great truths can be learned in the simple and beautiful way they are taught in India.
“Believing that philosophy is a working tool to help the individual in building a solid foundation for his dreams and purposes, Mr. Hall steadfastly sought recognition of the belief that world civilization can be perfected only when human beings meet on a common ground of intelligence, cooperation, and worthy purpose.”
