This is the only modern complete English version of his book. The spiritual content is here in plain English; also the form, length of line, an rhyme-structure has been achieved for the first time. In the Introduction, his life story is told in more detail than anywhere else in English. His spirituality is explored, his influence on the East and the West, the form and function of his poetry and the use of his book as a guide. Included are notes to the poems, a concordance with other English translations, a glossary, two bibliographies and two indexes.
