An inspired gathering of religious writings that reveals the "divine reality" common to all faiths, collected by Aldous Huxley.

It is they who, dying to themselves, become capable of perpetual inspiration and so are made the instruments through which divine grace is mediated to those whose unregenerate nature is impervious to the delicate touches of the Spirit.
