CHAPTER # 1

4. THE WAKE-UP CALL
He collapsed right in the middle of a packed courtroom. He was one of this country's most
distinguished trial lawyers. He was also a man who was as well known for the three-thousand-
dollar Italian suits which draped his well-fed frame as for his remarkable string of legal
victories.

5.  I still can't figure out why he picked me to work with him on that sensational murder
case .
 My father spent his whole life as a security guard.
 Yet he did pick me over all the others who had been quietly lobbying him for the
privilege of being his legal gofer on what became known as "the Mother of All Murder
Trials": he said he liked my "hunger.“
 It was far more than a lesson on how to raise a reasonable doubt where none existed
any lawyer worth his salt could do that.

6.  At Julian's invitation, I stayed on at the firm as an associate, and a lasting friendship
quickly developed between us.
 beneath his crusty exterior was a person who clearly cared about people.
 he would always ask about Jenny, the woman I still call "my bride" even though we
were married before I went to law school. On finding out from another summer intern
that I was in a financial squeeze, Julian arranged for me to receive a generous
scholarship.

7.  he was being consumed by the hunger for more: more prestige, more glory and more
money.
 He achieved everything most people could ever want: a stellar professional reputation
with an income in seven figures, a spectacular mansion in a neighbourhood favoured
by celebrities, a private jet, a summer home on a tropical island and his prized
possession — a shiny red Ferrari parked in the centre of his driveway.
 At fifty-three years of age, Julian looked as if he was in his late seventies.
 massive heart attack that brought the brilliant Julian Mantle back down to earth and
reconnected him to his mortality.

8. The Mysterious Visitor

9. The Mysterious Visitor
 "I'm afraid I have some very bad news. Julian Mantle suffered a severe heart attack in
court yesterday while he was arguing the Air Atlantic case. He is currently in the intensive
care unit, but his physicians have informed me that his condition has now stabilized and
he will recover. However, Julian has made a decision, one that I think you all must know.
He has decided to leave our family and to give up his law practice. He will not be
returning to the firm."

10.  He told one of the partners that he wanted to simplify his life and that he "needed some
answers“.
 He had sold his mansion, his plane and his private island. He had even sold his Ferrari.
"Julian Mantle as an Indian yogi," I thought. "The Law works in the most mysterious of
ways.“
 As those three years passed, I changed from an overworked young lawyer to a jaded,
somewhat cynical older lawyer.

11.  Perhaps he had settled down in India, a place so diverse that even a restless soul like his
could have made it his home. Or maybe he was trekking through Nepal? Scuba diving
off the Caymans? One thing was certain: he had not returned to the legal profession.
 A knock on my door about two months ago offered the first answers to some of my
questions.
 "There's someone here to see you, John. He says it's urgent and that he will not leave
until he speaks with you."

12.  "Is this how you treat all of your visitors, John, even those who taught you everything you
know about the science of success in a courtroom? I should have kept my trade secrets
to myself.“
 the man in front of me appeared to be in peak health, his lineless face glowing radiantly.
His eyes were bright.
 I was astonished by the new and improved Julian.
 When given the ultimatum by his doctor either to give up the Law or give up his life.

13.  He travelled from tiny village to tiny village, sometimes by foot, sometimes by train,
learning new customs.
 the more he heard of Indian monks who had lived beyond the age of a hundred, monks
who despite their advanced years maintained youthful, energetic and vital lives.
 "Was it hard to leave?" I wondered aloud, unable to contain my curiosity.

14.  "All I can tell you is that the locals in this village know them as the Great Sages of Sivana.
In their mythology, Sivana means 'oasis of enlightenment'.
 Julian had always believed that life came down to a few key moments. This was one of
them. Deep inside his soul, he somehow sensed that this was the first moment of the rest
of his life, a life soon to be much more than it had ever been.

15. A Magical Meeting with The Sages of Sivana
 After walking for many hours along an intricate series of paths and grassy trails, the two
travellers came upon a lusty green valley. On one side of the valley, the snow-capped
Himalayas offered their protection, like weather-beaten soldiers guarding the place where
their generals rested. On the other, a thick forest of pine trees sprouted, a perfectly natural
tribute to this enchanting fantasyland.

16.  “Great dreamers' dreams are never fulfilled, they are always transcended.”
Alfred Lord Whitehead

17.  "You can't leave now, Julian. I'm really pumped to hear the wisdom you learned in the
Himalayas and the message you promised your teachers you would bring back to the
West. You can't leave me in suspense — you know I can't stand it.“

18.  "I'll be back, rest assured, my friend. You know me, once I start telling a good story I just
can't stop. But you have your work to do, and I have some private matters that need to
be taken care of.“

19. The Wisdom of Personal Change
 I am an artist at living — my work of art is my life.
Suzuki

20.  You are sitting in the middle of a magnificent, lush, green garden. This garden is filled
with the most spectacular flowers you have ever seen. The environment is supremely
tranquil and silent. Savor the sensual delights of this garden and feel as if you have all
the time in the world to enjoy this natural oasis. As you look around you see that in the
center of this magical garden stands a towering, red lighthouse, six stories high.
Suddenly, the silence of the garden is disturbed by a loud creaking as the door at the
base of the lighthouse opens. Out stumbles a nine-foot-tall, nine-hundred-pound
Japanese sumo wrestler who casually wanders into the center of the garden.
