Dear Editor:

"Of all the forces that can best overcome all difficulties, is the force of love." Thus reads the first sentence in the Fall 1955 Issue of The Awakener , Baba's "must" message of "Love and God-Love." Just as Nature writes a million-year life drama in a few lines on a tiny seashell, and in a ray of light tells the story of a star a multibillion light-years away, so the Divine Avatar's few words express the glory and reveal the mystery of the soul, from the depths and heights of God-Realization. Reading the words of a Perfect Master stimulates our own desire for knowledge and increases our love of God. They link us with our Higher Self.

We have to discriminate what is really spiritual. In a civilization that has precipitated an endless variety of literature, The Awakener is unique in that it is by, and about, the living Sadguru-Avatar of our Age, and shares the great wisdom, power and love concentrated in His life and work. Interesting, vital, essential . . . it challenges those who long to be on the Path to grasp the opportunity to "understand the un-understandable" through His grace of love. For the Avatar has a divine duty to perform on earth, and the printed word is one of His avenues, in our age of intellectualism, to reach out with His love and grace to those who are ready and waiting for awakening and "unbinding."

In these pages God speaks to the intuition of our hearts. The presence of The Awakener in our homes is a constant reminder of His Divine Call . . . His silent message of love and salvation at this crucial end of a cycle and beginning of a new one, the long-awaited "New Dispensation." Baba's word is truth and His work is light in our world of gross-consciousness. The Awakener helps us feel this truth and "see" this light. It is not a magazine for those who dabble in esoteric metaphysics but rather a spiritual channel to souls athirst for the love of God, the truth of higher life and self-realization. Baba's truth liberates the soul from the fogginess of occultism, the confusion and doubt of the intellect, the limitations of aesthetics. It heals the soul and uplifts it by visions of the grand scheme of God's plan for man.
