Dr. Hislop is the first President of the Sathya Sai Baba
Council of America, and is recognized as having more
face-to-face conversations with Sai Baba than any other
Westerner. This is a direct account of talks which occurred
over a period of more than 10 years.
In this remarkable book, the former
president of the American Sathya Sai Baba Organization asks
Swami many of the questions you've always wanted to ask,
including: what prevents us from seeing the truth; the limit
of one's responsibility; how can one develop love?; what
does 'surrender to the Lord' mean; how does one get devotion
to God; what is the short cut to self-realization; how does
one determine the dharma (right action) appropriate to
oneself; what does Swami see when he looks at us; and
hundreds of additional questions. The dialogues, taken from
10 years of interviews, are presented in an easy-to-read
question-and-answer format. The book provides valuable
insight into our own lives, and Swami's answers are
sometimes unexpected but always sweet, profound, and deeply
illuminating.

Foreword
The questions and answers included here date from January,
1968, through February, 1978. The first two interviews were
taped and are reproduced in full. Thereafter, notes were
made from memory immediately after each conversation. The
questions asked make no pretence of being profound. The
answers, however, come directly from Truth and may illumine
the understanding of the greatest scholar or the most
practiced yogi. Devotees are aware how infrequent and
difficult to secure are conversations with Bhagawan; for
this reason, a decision was made to publish the notebook.
Except for the two taped interviews, questions and answers
are not in chronological order. Definitions of all Sanskrit
and Telegu words are provided in the Glossary at the end of
the book.
