Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba said in a discourse at the Sri Sathya Institute of Higher Learning on July v3, 1986, "The world is teaching man innumerable lessons all the time. Each one should try to discover for himself the secret of his life and the Universal Consciousness that is inherent in him. The first requisite for each one is to make himself his own guru." This book is the story of the efforts made by the author to be obedient to that instruction and of some of the ways she has been assisted in her inner search by Baba's simple but very effective teaching methods.
