First Edition. This little collection of stories presents a delicate literary problem. According to the proprieties of the occasion it is necessary first to determine the exact nature of the narrations. Deliberation reveals certain facts which require thoughtful attention. The accounts which follow are not fables for the reason that a fable often relates to animals humanized in their moral or intellectual qualities. It would be equally untrue to refer to these writings as myths, for mythology is concerned with divine beings and the conduct of those beings as preserved in the religions histories of old times. It would be equally inappropriate to refer to these productions as legends, for legendry records the events of celebrated heroes, or the folklore associated by tradition with unusual places and circumstances. A clean, tight, beautiful copy, almost as new but for a little bowing at the fore-edge of the front cover. 8vo. Cream colored paper covered boards stamped in orange and black. 185 pp. Illustrations by K. Alexander (illustratore).…

This is the story of the holy or mystic life in India, as told by a disciple reminiscing upon many years of association with his beloved Hindu teacher. Though a narrative blend of actual incidents in the lives of several disciples, Mr. Hall has personally known the principal characters of the story but has made changes in names and places, in deference to the wish of the Oriental mystics. Here the Eastern way of life is made comprehensible so Westerners may learn the great truths in the same simple and beautiful way they are taught in India. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 142 pages.…

Second Edition. N. Harris Ades' bookplate on free front endpaper just below Manly Hall's inscription. Laid in is his 2005 obituary. " This is a story of the Eastern way of life. It has been my privilege to personally know the wonderful old Hindu teacher whom I call The Guru. Some of the things he says in this story were actually said to me. The character for whom I have devised the name Nadu is also a real person; it was through him that I met The Guru. Nadu himself told me the story of his life and how he became the disciple of the venerable teacher. Some parts of my story are built from incidents in the lives of older disciples, so blended as to create a narrative typical of the life of Eastern discipline. Names and places have been changed, in deference to Oriental mysticism, which does not give prominence to the experiences of persons. When a man undertakes the holy life, he chooses the way of simplicity and humility, performing good works but desiring no credit for himself."
