Irani). After a year investigating his life and teaching he accepted him as his Spiritual Master in 1966, and from his books heard of the Persian poet of ghazals, Hafiz of Shiraz, whom many believed (including Meher Baba) was the greatest poet that ever lived but had not been adequately translated into English. While working on translating the poetry of Hafiz, Kabir, Sadi and many other Master Poets for the past forty years he has continued to compose his own poems and this book is a compilation of most of those (except for Compassionate Rose and Pune: The City of God) that are dedicated to his Spiritual Master, Meher Baba. 492 pages.
