I realized that I asked an impossible question and that it reveals something about the way that I think.

It turns out that the best introduction to Sant Mat for one person may be the worst introduction for another. I tend to like crisp, clinical analytical texts, which is I why I was so enamoured of the Holtje book.

But maybe one piece of poetry by Darshan Singh would be the best introduction for someone else.

It seems that I think that what is right for me is what everyone should be enjoying. Sigh.

First I would have to say were the Satsangs and issues of Sonic Spectrum
by Michael Turner found in the archives and files of this group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SFS/files/ (Includes a text file with a
partial list of message #'s of Sonic Spectrums in the archive One will
probably have to sign in to Yahoo Groups to get to the files and message
archive.

I would add the writings of Kirpal Singh (many available for free online
at http://www.ruhanisatsangusa.org/books.htm

I also found Path of the Masters by Juian Johnson enlightening. Not so
much for descriptions of the experience as for the insight into Sant Mat
in India at the time it was written. It used to be hard to find but is now
available on line in many formats (even for Kindle <G>)
