Wine Of The Mystic

This award-winning work brings to light the deeper truth and beauty of a well-loved but long-misunderstood masterpiece—the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. With an in-depth commentary on every quatrain, Paramahansa Yogananda reveals the profound kinship between the Rubaiyat's hidden metaphysical philosophy and India's ancient science of Yoga. He presents as well a fascinating exploration of the mystical experience and such subjects as: the mystery of destiny and free will, the intricacies of karma, the perfecting of human love, and the role of meditation in attaining lasting joy.
