      Aby člověk pochopil, kdo je to guru, a porozuměl mu, musí být připraven zvážit otázku, kde leží hranice mezi racionalitou a šílenstvím, mezi tzv. zdravým rozumem a bláznovstvím. Autor se zabývá tématem iluze a víry i jezuity a Ježíšem. Pojednává o velkých duchovních vůdcích, hnutích, kultech i charitativních organizacích, zamýšlí se nad osobnostmi, jako byl Gurdjieff, Jung, Freud, Steiner a mnoho dalších.
