________________ INTRODUCTION Once Gurudev. Shree Chitrabhanuji was asked: "What would you want if you could be granted one and only one thing?" "Right vision,” was his response. To perceive and experience reality as it is, this is the vision which Gurudev has been deepening and expanding since he took the vows of a Jain monk at the age of 20. His first five years of monastic life were spent mostly, in silence, training himself through study and meditation to look within for the answers to his quest for enlightened awareness. During the next twenty-four years he communicated through talks, writings, and the example of his saintly life the vision which emerged from his own experience: the vision of a world united in loving reverence. Reverence for what? For that living energy animating all living beings. yai
