Weaving awareness of these concepts into the fabric of our daily lives elevates the soul as we develop an authentic, ongoing relationship with our Creator.This masterful, new English translation of a timeless classic presented in an easy-to-follow, bi-lingual edition offers all readers an ideal text for daily study, insight, contemplation, and personal growth.
