Preface
Within the covers of Mysticism: The Spiritual Path, ardent seekers of Truth have the opportunity to investigate the concept of the mystic universe. Were mystic truths a galaxy of stars, it might be said that Lekh Raj Puri, the author of this book, has identified for us its major constellations. An extensive work, Mysticism offers the reader much to consider, discern and digest. L. R. Puri, who was professor of philosophy at Punjab University, Lahore, discusses the philosophy of mystical experience and supports his discussion with a wealth of inspiring quotes from mystics of different traditions. The result is a book which offers a torch to all who wish to banish darkness.
A scholarly treatise on the way of mysticism, Mysticism: The Spiritual Path reflects the author's long and devoted association with his Master, Maharaj Sawan Singh, known also as the Great Master. Lekh Raj Puri draws on the teachings of his Master and the wealth of quotations from the Persian and Indian spiritual traditions that the Great Master used to cite in his discourses. He also shares his own detailed research into the mystic schools and practices of India and draws his personal conclusions as to the value and relevance of these practices. The result is a logical framework through which the seeker may consider mysticism as a spiritual path.
First published in two volumes in 1938 and 1940, Mysticism: The Spiritual Path in its present edition has been consolidated into one volume. In this revision, quotations have been sourced and referenced where possible, and formatting and changes in the words have been made to clarify meaning. Because the author has created his own English translations from Persian, Punjabi and Hindi texts, the references give
