To you who have opened this book, know that the wheel of destiny
has finally stopped before you, offering this gift which you have earned.
The time has come for you to stop and be still.
Leave all preconceived ideas aside; dismiss all prior search for
knowledge to satisfy your inquisitive mind. The river of life has finally
reached an estuary--yours--where the path, so simply designated by Jesus-
-Son of God, you often by-passed for larger freeways, lured you to gayer
landscaped roads.
In this book composed of excerpts taken from the writings of SEDIR
you will find a pattern of life. This anthology has been chosen to be the
first English translation of his works. The jewels contained therein are
real. They are a living symbol of what can be and will be achieved by those
who are willing to follow the simplest and yet the most difficult teachings
given mankind by Jesus Christ.
The translator has adhered as closely to the text as possible in order
to conserve SEDIR'S st
deep inner meaning interwoven within the structure of sentences which
must be read and understood ofttimes upon three levels simultaneously.
SEDIR, whom many of us knew, influenced a change in the course of
our lives. His whole life became a living symbol of this teaching; he was a
living example of what he taught, because, after many years of intellectual
search, he too, came back to the simple path known as the Gospel.
