Mystic and the
Blossoms is one of the most interesting and inspiring
novels I’ve read in a long
while. I felt as if I were sitting at the feet
of a wise man, listening in rapt
attention to the story of Jagat Mahant.
In a fit of temper, Jagat
accidentally kills a man, then flees from the
crime. He becomes a Sadu, an aspirant
who gives up family, home, and
hearth to don a robe, grow a beard, then wander about
the countryside,
calling himself Jag Baba. His travels take him many places across
time
until he settles in a poor village called Khapat.
Slowly Jag
teaches and helps the villagers, never pressing or rushing anything upon them. He teaches
them unity in all aspects of their spiritual growth. For without unity, a race cannot
survive. One must also learn to be open to new and different ideas and to learn from
other cultures. Above all else, success begins with a foundation laid in the heart. The
end result will be a heaven on earth.
These messages are subtly woven
within the story. You reap what you sow. Those things that appear useless have a purpose.
Nothing is random; two incidents totally different from each other, happening at the same
time on opposite ends of the world can have an affect on one of the parties involved.
Life comes around full circle.
I urge you to get a copy of Mystic and
the Blossoms, read it for yourself and see what amazing insights you come away
with.
