Arthur Osborne was one of those rare individualsin whom an exceptionally keen intellect and an intensely introspective and poetic soirit were wonderfully integrated.A graduate of Oxford and a lover of learning,he had prepared for what would doubtless have been a brilliant career in teaching.Yet he was compelled to follow his inner longing to experience the Supreme Reality.This ultimately brought him halfway around the world to the abode of the Indian sage,Sri Ramana Maharshi. Kindled by the flame of the spiritual practice,his innate literary abilities were radiantly transformed:he became a vehicle for the larger truths,he was experiencing.There are many who have the ability to comment on and interpet spiritual truthsmbut only when that knowledge is born of experience will the words be empowered,thereby guiding others on the spirited path. The editorials,articles and poemsin these pages bridge an expanse of spiritual topics which are up-lifiting and enlightening. Seekers of Truth from all faiths and paths will find this collection a treasure-house of practical wisdom and guidance.
