As he seeks answers to life's deepest questions, a pilgrim experiences seemingly chance meetings with an atheist, a social activist, Catholic monks, and others. While accompanying the pilgrim on his journey, the reader finds his own mind expanding, and discovers a universal and liberating life philosophy.

Swami Kriyananda is a disciple of the great world teacher, Paramhansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi). Kriyananda has written more than 140 books on various spiritual subjects, yet few of those works contain as many consciousness-expanding truths as this book, his second novel. Swami divides his time between the U.S., India, and Europe.
