He had just come out victorious from an agonizing spiritual struggle, and had found in Christ the fulfilment of his souPs true desire. His enter prise to reach Tibet had called forth all his powers. The sacrifice, which such an effort demanded frrom him, had created in his inner spirit a radiant joy which shone out in every look and deed. When I first knew him, he was at the height of early manhood and endowed with a splendid phy sique. His character, through the discipline of in ward conflict, had been rendered resolute and strong. Body, mind and spirit were at last united in a single purpose. His sensitive imagination was alert to every sight and sound in Nature. Above and beyond all, he was devoted to his Saviour, who had fully claimed his service at the hour of his conversion. Thus he was ready joyfully to endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. In the Spirit of Youth, a joyous confidence per petually rises afresh which laughs at dangers and overcomes them. Death itself is looked full in the face and conquered. There is a great thought con ix X PREFACE tained in a mystical poem of the eighteenth century on the nativity, 1 which speaks of the birth of the Saviour O the magnitude of meekness, Worth from worth immortal sprung O the strength of infant weakness, If eternal is so young If so young and thus eternal How can we explain the deathless beauty in the heart of Youth except in terms of Him who is ever young, because He holds in His hands the keys of Death, and can say in triumph, O Grave, where is thy victory The personal reminiscence of the Sadhu which I have tried to give in the chapters which follow, has the great advantage of being able to concentrate on those stirring and eventful times when Sundar Singh was young. Afterwards, while middle age crept slowly forward, he was crippled by illness, and his youthful vigor departed He struggled on and in the end was not defeated. That later period of his life will also come before usj but the days when I knew him best were the days of his youth XI Many centuries before Christ was born, the soul of the East had expressed in words of sadness mingled with longing its search for the living God. By Christopher Smart 1722-71 PREFACE XI The verses of the forty-second Psalm still move us nth their beauty as we read them over to-day Like as the hart desireth the waterbrooks, so panteth my oul after Thee, O God. My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the Living God when shall I come and appear before the presence of God My tears have been my meat day and night while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God Why art thou so heavy, O my soul And why art thou so disquieted within me O put thy trust in God, for I shall yet praise Him who is the help of my countenance and my God. India, perhaps, more than any other country in the world, has felt in her soul this thirst for the living God. No one, who has watched the long line of pilgrims on their way to some sacred shrine, can ever forget the mystery of this heart-longing to seek and to find Gods presence. Age after age, the perpetual search goes on the eternal quest is repeated...
