This volume, unfolding a basic theme, presents eight sages and seers of the modern world (16th to the 20th century), all of whom made important and lasting contributions to man's spiritual growth. Their lives, though surrounded by mystery, stand out as inspiring examples of mystical idealism, devout aspiration, and sincere dedication.
