This book is a gem of wisdom and insight...it is an extremely well balanced book - part autobiography, part poetry, part a discourse on the ancient philosophy of Self Realization...It is a spiritual classic in that there is alot of material that you won't really find anywhere else unless you find a Master...Having the blessing of meeting Him in India I must say that it was like meeting many Masters combined into one form...Sri Yukteswar (in his austerity)- this Jnanavatar is the Guru of His family, Sri Yoganandaji (in his love for poetic expression and drive for world peace) and Sri Vimalananda (from the Aghora books - in his indepth knowledge of many different esoteric practices including Ayurveda and Tantric alchemy)...but He is definitely in a league by Himself...
This book is greatly enhanced with Yogiraj's 'Mantras and Chants' CD's vol. 1 & 2...there you will hear the Master speak and chant divine melodies that are extremely rare for most people to hear...from the Nath yogis of the Himalayas http://www.hamsa-yoga.org/things.html
Also, look here for information regarding meeting and seeing Him in person:

Love, Light and Shakti Vibrationz...
...into the still-mind of a living Nath Yogi. The experience of reading Wings To Freedom is second only to being with the Master Himself, that is, if you can even compare the written word with the experiences Gurunath gives. Several readings are necessary to begin to fully absorb such lofty subjects as the different levels of samadhi and avatars. Yogic wisdom, combined with Gurunath's own personal journey from his childhood as a born Siddha to his travels into "The Land of the Hamsas" in the Himalayas, and Beyond - this book deserves a place on your shelf next to "Autobiography of a Yogi."
