THE HIDDEN MASTER is the story of an inquiry into the nature of total
transformation of the human psyche, sometimes called enlightenment, as
revealed by a realised Teacher, Vimala Thakar. It is also a story about the
interaction of two forces-the force of understanding (the Teacher) and the
force of inquiry (the seeker after truth). In attempting to live and
practice the teaching of Vimalaji, the inquirer, Christine Townend, decided
to record and analuyse the inner and outer events of the investigation
which she undertook. She was interested to observe how a realised Teacher
lived, worked and taught. It was felt that it was important, not only to
describe the dufficulties of Sadhana through which the seeker passes, but
also to describe the qualities of a realised human being, without glamour
or sentimentality. It was Vimalaji who encouraged and guided the writing of
the book, and who gave so much of her time and her love in the form of
interviews and discussions for this purpose.
