Omar Khayyam's famous poem, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, is loved by Westerners as a hymn of praise to sensual delights. In the East his quatrains enjoy a very different reputation: They are known as a deep allegory of the soul's romance with God. Even there, however, the knowing is based on who and what Khayyam was: a sage and mystic. As for what his quatrains actually mean, most of them have remained a mystery in the East as much as in the West.
Now after more than eight centuries, Paramhamsa Yogananda, one of the great mystics of our time, a master of yoga and the author of the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, explains the mystery behind Omar's famous poem.
