"When the student is ready, the Master will appear." Few novels are concerned with the gaining of wisdom, the journey towards awakening to a higher Self within us all. The present novel is a rare exception. Eric and David are simple and practical seekers of the truth and spend their life in search of absolute truth, rather than the interpretation. Their conversations are engrossing as they discuss the path to enlightenment and the means to remove the veils of delusion. Eric, the main character, converses silently, inwardly and wordlessly with his Master or God, learning and gaining insights that he later shares with his close friend David and their mutual friend Kathy. In the beginning, we seek externally for the truth, for the teacher of truth and wisdom. But, we are truth. And Eric and David found that while their search may wander into all realms of thought and exploration, it will always take them back to the inner Guru; the truth of which we all are. We are the Master of our destiny. We are the Universal Consciousness. This is a profound piece of work and will appeal to anyone who is sincerely on the path to self-realisation. "Do not go against your inner self. Who is your Master? Your inner self is your Master. So, no need for anyone else; follow your own inner self. That is your God. That is your happiness. That is your wealth. That is your peace. That is your everything. Happiness and peace are not outside." Sathya Sai Baba
