When I read this book I was interested in the basic teachings and thought I would skip through the poetry. I surprised myself by being able to resonate with the sublime feelings and simple words of Maharshi`s. Much of the teachings do reach you through this seemingly exotic poems. Give them a chance too.

The book's original Language was in Tamil(fom South India ) and this book was translated in lot many languages.But the REAL language of this book is a language that one speaks in TRANCE. Called as the language of SAMADHI .... What to tell of such a Great compilation ,words which came from an Awakened Being. This Book alone is simply enough to clear our doubts and put us into awakening . Our Mind simply Melts and only the REALITY REMAINS ....
