In 1927, Esfandiar Vesali left his native Iran to study at the Prem Ashram, Meher Baba’s school for boys at Meherabad. In this interview, Esfandiar shares his intense experiences of the spiritual path over the course of twenty months: from moments of sublime bliss to struggles with powerful negative thoughts to increased understanding of the significance of the Master. He discovers that Baba knows his innermost being and that he can join the Divine Beloved deep in his heart.

As Esfandiar shares his memories of the "school of love", we receive a vivid glimpse of life in the Prem Ashram. His reminiscences are interspersed with photographs and choral music as well as scenes from The Prem Ashram, a play presented by Sufism Reoriented in 1981.
