This is Part One of Majaraj’s earliest teachings. It was written prior to the I AM THAT talks. It is very different as Ed Musika states:
“Those accustomed to the bold pronouncements on the
nature of reality found in his later talks might be surprised
by the obvious bhaktic melody throughout this little book. It
is also obvious that this is the autobiography of Maharaj’s
awakening, not his early teaching. It is a love song both to
himself and to his guru. One might ask, “What happened to the Bhakta?” I have no idea of what Maharaj was like before he met
his teacher. Perhaps he was rude and acerbic then, had a
brief period of bhaktic immersion, then reverted to his pre-
awakening personality. So, is his later public persona a
teaching style, also used by tons of Zen masters (priests,
rabbis, sheiks, sifu, etc.), or did he just have a raggedy personality which returned? I don’t know. If I were to guess, I would lean towards the latter”.
