To journey half way around the world in search of oneself may sound like a paradox, yet for this man the detour proved necessary. From an early age, he was drawn to India, but his longing went unsatisfied until many years later when he felt compelled to understand the teaching of one of its sages. After he returned home from his first trip to that mystical land, something called him back and continued to do so, year after year. He explored the country and studied its ways, sensing that his very being was somehow intertwined in its culture. What he came to discover was that the destination he was pursuing along with the signposts that marked its way were no different from those of other seekers who had similar yearnings.
