Description

One of the world's classic spiritual texts translated by a British scholarThe basic questions of Who Am I? Where Am I Going?

Alistair Shearer's superb introduction and translation bring these ancient, vital teachings to life in the modern world and are for all those who seek the benefits of self-knowledge.
