The book includes previously unpublished “Notes” from 1957 by Boris Nikolaevich Abramov. B. N. Abramov (1897–1972), who spent many years (1917–1959) abroad—in Harbin—was the closest student of Nikolai Konstantinovich Roerich. The source of the “Notes” and books of the Teachings of Living Ethics—“Edin” (One/Unity). This was confirmed by Elena Ivanovna Roerich, who had met the first “Notes” in the 40s. Later, Boris Nikolaevich also received messages from Nikolai Konstantinovich and Elena Ivanovna Roerich: in the book they are marked with the words “Guru” and “M.A.Y.” (Mother Agni Yoga) at the beginning of the relevant paragraphs. In preparing the Notes for publication, the features of their style were preserved.
The book will be useful to readers seeking answers to questions about human purpose and his responsibility toward the Universe.
