"* 'Mario Aguilar skilfully, elegantly, and clearly presents the life and thought of some of the major spiritual forces of our time as a starting point for his own compelling reflections on the relationship between contemplation and politics.. We need more books like this one.' Professor Ivan Petrella, University of Miami"
