Publisher's note from "The Way of the Saints": The Master began issuing this extraordinary series of circular letters shortly after his First World Tour,and continued, at greater or lesser intervals, until three months before his death. These circulars were unlike his books or his talks, or even his letters to individual dispiples; they really were 'circular letters', that is, letters to every one of his disciples at once, conveying whatever he considered of the first importance at the time. Consequently, they have an intimacy and immediacy not found in his books or public talks, yet are relevant to the needs of all his disciples
