Over the years The Way of the Servant has been used by many as a bedside book, as a basis for meditation, and sometimes as a call to devotion. It has been taken into battle as a personal support to the soldier. It is more than timely that it should be re-introduced for a new generation who should find its spiritual value as immediate and as long lasting as have its original readers. This edition has been reset, completely unaltered, from the 1918 edition. The authorship and the manner in which the Directions were received are not known. The content speaks for itself; each Direction becomes a signpost along the way, an indication of the Path that all must tread. With a gentle insistence the Servant is encouraged to translate each teaching in terms of earth, of feeling, of mind and of spirit, and to achieve mastery in each of these four worlds, knowing that temptation and a fall will bear greater fruit than will the hedging of the self from such experience.
