German edition of the original English edition: Naam or Word
In the beginning was the Word... and the Word was God
In all religious and occult traditions and in all scriptures, the concept of the "Word" or Logos plays a central part; but very few understand what the Word really is. In this book, written by one who is both a distinguished scholar of comparative religions and a practicing mystic of the highest order, the full esoteric significance of the Word or NAAM of God is made clear. Quotations from Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic and Christian sacred writings demonstrate the universality of the concept; but the book is primarily a study in depth of the Adi Granth Sahib of the Sikhs, since this great scripture, almost unknown in the West, presents the idea of the Word with unparalleled detail and clarity. The great Sikh Gurus and their predecessors and successors, singing in the language of the common man, reveal the secret of the Word in its fullness: that it is the mystical Voice of God calling each one of us within to the glory and heritage that is rightfully ours.
