The Spirit Born People - Paperback

by Puran Singh (Author)

These are the lecture notes for addresses I proposed to deliver to the Sikh youth of thePunjab. But as I am placed in the desert away from the towns where they gather, I let these goundelivered. And also because the Sikh youth are running in haste after shadows, turning theirbacks on the Sun of Suns, the Guru. This world of the Guru, the Beautiful, is different and theirworld how different; so to them the values of fiction and fact have been hopelessly interchanged.Still, I hope these addresses will reach them by and by.And the Sikh youth is everywhere, the youth that has the disciple-consciousness, aspiringto love, the Beautiful, which alone is truly good, truly noble, and truly divine. The formBeautiful appearing once rarely in ages, and fascinating the disciple-consciousness and vanishingin the eternal background of the spiritual inner Infinite, is the Guru Beautiful, the Bridegroom;the disciple-consciousness thenceforward restless without that presence or the sense of thatpresence is The Spirit Born People, -or The Brides.
