The White Heart

This book is my account of finding a mystery man for four years. His name is Sri Aurobindo, a great spiritual leader. I found a portrait of him in an Ashram in India and in finding him I found myself.

I looked up and there in the corner of my bedroom, blinking off and on for some time as if it were on a poster size, black and white television screen was the portrait of a man. Sitting up in bed, slightly slapping my face to make sure I was awake, the words, "Who is this man?" came into my head. Answering myself, sprang the words, " I don't know who he is, but I think he is a philosopher who lived in the eighteen hundreds.

While watching in wonderment, I realized three normal human reactions: intense heat, hearing a voice, and seeing a face. I knew I wasn't crazy, just dumbfounded. This was an apparition! Are they really real? Who would believe me? And what if anything did it mean?
