The Guru: By His Disciple – The Way of the East

By Manly Palmer Hall

Published by The Philosophical Research Society

1972 Edition

A fascinating and thought-provoking work by renowned philosopher, lecturer, and esoteric scholar Manly Palmer Hall.

In this insightful volume, Hall explores the ancient relationship between guru and disciple, presenting a rich examination of Eastern spiritual philosophy, personal transformation, self-mastery, mystical development, and the timeless search for wisdom. Written in Hall’s distinctive style, the book offers readers a contemplative journey into the traditions of spiritual instruction and the deeper principles underlying Eastern teachings.

Rather than focusing on a single historical teacher, The Guru presents the archetype of the spiritual master and the path of discipleship itself, examining the responsibilities, challenges, and inner development required of those who seek higher knowledge.

Subjects explored include:

• Eastern philosophy and spiritual traditions

• The guru-disciple relationship

• Self-mastery and personal transformation

• Mysticism and esoteric wisdom

• Spiritual development and initiation

• Karma and the laws of growth

• Meditation and inner awareness

• The pursuit of enlightenment

• Comparative religion and philosophy

• Practical spiritual principles

An intriguing title for collectors and readers interested in Manly P. Hall, Eastern philosophy, mysticism, comparative religion, esoteric studies, spiritual development, occult literature, metaphysical teachings, and the perennial wisdom traditions.

A desirable Philosophical Research Society edition from one of the twentieth century’s most influential esoteric writers.
