A Journey with Omar Khayaam (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781928060079)

A Journey with Omar Khayaam is a commentary on Khayaam's spiritual quatrains. By following Khayyam's experiences, we witness how the Poet struggles with his intellectual biases and worldly attachments. As he goes through the initial stages of his spiritual training, his perception gradually develops and expands. Khayaam's experiences are presented using a number of symbols, such as wine, Saki, rose, tavern, death. But the symbols that Khayaam uses are neither fixed nor static. The same symbol may mean different things, depending on the context in which it is applied. Khayaam belonged to same school of thoughts as Rumi and Shakespeare. Their writings are based on the same design. Therefore, quotes from Rumi's and Shakespeare's writings have been used in A Journey with Omar Khayaam to explain some of Khayaam's verses.
