In its pages the reader may trace the different phases of his life, the trails he endured and the many transformations he went through.
This book is more than a treasure-house of memories. As we make our way through the wealth of photographs in its pages, we sense that it can support and courage us in our initiatic quest on the steep road to wisdom. In this age of Iron, wich Hindus call Kali Yuga, this book is a reminder of the highest ideal ever held by human beings: the knowledge of self and of God. The Master is all that we believe him to be: a saint, an initiate, the archetype of the old sage or the illuminating representation of true man. And for each of us at different moments, one or other of these figures will prdominate. Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov never sought public acclaim, never courted regocnition in the media. He knew that the truth makes its way in secret to those who love it and seek it in their hearts. We invite our readers to draw aside the veil from this hidden being. "The true Instructors of humanity, those who create themselves, who write themselves, cause upheavel throughout the entire world simply by their presence, for, through them, we see and hear all colors, all forms, all the poems and all the melodies of the world." Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
