"My friend, don't be foolish like the man who spent an age searching for the Creator in the sayings of the ancients, in the teachings of the enlightened, among people, and in the books of mystics and Eastern philosophies, only to discover in the end, when he relinquished his pride and will, that He had been clinging to him all along; for in the midst of his frantic search, he forgot to look within himself."
One day, our friend awoke to find himself experiencing a tranquility for which he could not explain. As he sat at a bus stop, a stranger sitting next to him caught his attention, and a long conversation began between them, lasting for months, about attaining peace and tranquility. Every day, our friend would come to the bus stop and find this man sitting there, waiting for him, or arriving shortly after. They would sit together for a few hours, contemplating people and the sky, talking briefly, and then parting ways, neither knowing the other's name. They discussed various spiritual topics, talking about life, people, love, and surrender. They talked for a long time amidst the noise of the world without paying any attention to it, and this book was made from their conversations.
