On the life and work of Ram Chandra, 1899-1983, Hindu spiritual leader.

"This is just a Dom taking care of his submissive in the way he sees fit." She looks at me with the yearning of someone who is starving - longing for a man who knows how to touch her, how to give her what she needs. But she is more than just a woman with unmet desires. Cynthia Storm has ambitions, a dream that cannot become true without the help of a generous patron. She needs me. However, she's reluctant to accept my generous offer, because it comes with a special requirement: I cover the tuition for her master’s degree - if she agrees to be my submissive in return. My submissive. My plaything. Nothing more than that. The rules are clear, but playing by them has never been harder.

Mystical tradition or approach to God is present in all religions, especially Judeo-Christian-Islamic religions. The Jewish kabbalists, Christian Gnostics, and Muslim Sufis are well known to the people. Sufis, especially, encompass the idea that God can only be known through love. Indeed, approaching Him, knowing Him, and the act of immersion and immanence all involve love according to Sufi doctrine. A typical Sufi disciple practices these stages through an accomplished master who symbolically embodies all that is God and His manifestations. The mystical language of the Sufis is thus full of symbolic manifestations and its consequent pitfalls, in itself a very difficult journey. It is pitched in the renouncement of this world with an orientation toward God, the journey by stages, while it imbues one with the eternal love of God and teaches him or her the love of His creation. Sufis are thus the most benevolent creatures of God, the most docile, and the most loving; indeed, they are lovers by profession in its purest sense. This anthology, though probably already reeking of the specialized language, reflects my journey toward God, toward loving Him, and in that process, loving my fellow human beings and loving His creation.
