  These are passages that inform and transform: enjoy their poetry, study their wisdom, or use them for Easwaran's Passage Meditation . Timeless Wisdom , the companion volume to Easwaran's Passage Meditation , is a rich collection of spiritual texts from all the world's great traditions, selected by Easwaran for study and for his method of meditation.Here are flashes of insight from the Hindu Upanishads; prayers of comfort from the Christian saints; psalms from the Old Testament; songs of praise from the Sufis; and, deep wisdom from the Buddhist and Taoist traditions. Some of these passages, such as the Prayer of St. Francis, the Buddha's Twin Verses , and the Twenty-third Psalm, are familiar and well loved, others may be fresh discoveries - all are beautiful. Short texts, easy to read and memorize, are interspersed with longer ones, which the reader can study in depth. Passage Meditation , together with its companion volume, Timeless Wisdom , are the first two books in Nilgiri Press' Essential Easwaran Library , a series of ten books that defines Easwaran's legacy and represents the heart of Easwaran's teachings for the serious reader, based on the theme of timeless wisdom for daily living.
