This is a beautiful book in many ways. The presentation of the book is wonderful, I wasn't expecting it to be so attractive. It would make a great gift, but it is also lovely to own for your own pleasure.
The layout of the book also can't be faulted; each quatrain is provided individually, with a paraphrase section, extended meaning and then a section on keys to the meaning. This makes the book easy to read either in one go or to treat the book as something to be dipped into. Also there are pictures included, inspired by some of the quatrains.
I treasure this book now. The poetry is truly beautiful and soul inspiring, while the presentation only adds to the experience and the enjoyment. This is a very deep book, with contemplation being a key to it's enjoyment. Yogananda has done a wonderful job of "explaining" this work of beauty. Although his language is easy to understand, the beauty is never sacrificed.
But this book and treasure what it has to teach you...
