Beschreibung

In this autobiographical novel Mario Mantese depicts the fateful encounter with a spiritual master in the Himalaya. As he approaches this liberated universal master and is confronted with his unorthodox methods and teachings, the traveler plummets into a deep crisis, a destabilizing of everything he had thought and felt before. The exploits of these two men reveal just how forcefully the hardened, rigidly structured intellect is challenged when it encounters such a universal human being. The love, wisdom, and immense energy of the master, which the reader can directly experience from this book, open a pathway. Ultimately, this pathway leads to an end that is the liberation from all paths, a flowing back into never-ending Non-Being.

Klappentext

Majestic mountains, snow-capped peaks, and beyond a pass a mysterious master is said to exist.

The narrator goes to the Himalayas searching for one of those legendary masters who lives an austere life in a cave and whose spirit encompasses countless ages and myriad worlds. The seeker is guided in perceptible and often imperceptible ways until he ultimately enters the land of silence. All of the sudden, in one single moment, my entire world was reduced to a pile of ashes. A mysterious power compelled me to penetrate still deeper into hidden, unknown worlds.

During his process of inner revolution, the author experiences a profound transformation. Between day and dream, the truth is revealed to him in the pure light of the Universal. The reader is taken in a very unconventional manner through vast mountainous realms towards an encounter with extraordinarily cultivated high masters.

Mario Mantese is the author of over twenty works of spiritual literature. Among them are classics such as In the Heart of the World and Wisdom for Everyone. Thousands of people come to his gatherings from all over the world. He refers to himself as the empty teacher. His home is the great silence.
