It's very hard to write about direct experience of the divine and the mystical without sounding like a madman. The things that the author reports happening to him through his relationship with the Indian avatar, Mother Meera, such as visual and auditory hallucinations, clairvoyance, and mystical union with all of creation are all pretty much standard issue for people achieving enlightenment in the Eastern tradition. They have been written about for centuries; but in the West, somebody lying on the floor in their room in a trance for 3 days repeating the names of the Goddess would earn himself a quick trip to a rubber room.* This is a VG reprint copy with absolutely minimal age & shelf wear.*
