As the author points out in his preface, it was his privilege to spend tv/enty-four years at the feet of a genuine Godman— Baba Sawan Singh Ji of Beap, India—and this book, an exhaustive study of the origin, na ture and mission of Masters of the Highest Order, based squarely on their own sayings and writings, was originally written ir the days of his discipleship as a supreme act of devotion to his Guru. But time has added another dimension to the book's authority: since Baba Sawan Singh's death in 1948, the author, in obedience to his Guru's instructions, functioned as a great Master himself; so that this book is the first of its kind—a complete and full study of supreme mystics by one Vv^ho was himself a supreme mystic.
The publishers have included a number of photographs of the author and of his Guru. Vissza
