Publisher's Synopsis
"This book contains nuggets of wisdom excerpted from one of the great works of modern times: The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Explained, by Paramhansa Yogananda. The excerpts here contained are not from the poem itself, but from the commentary. They are words to live by: wise insights by one of the great spiritual figures of our times that have the power profoundly to change people's lives. As Yogananda explains in The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Explained, Omar Khayyam's work is deeply spiritual; it is not, as most Westerners believe, a poem in praise of earthly pleasures. Taking the inner meaning of this work to ever greater depths, Paramhansa Yogananda produced one of his own deepest and most profoundly moving spiritual works"--.
