I can imagine reading this book every five years or so. I expect that wholly different aspects of the work will resonate for me, as my own path of exploration evolves.
This is a philosophical work but not a collection of points debated with the current crop of champions. There are quotes, but of Rumi, Upanishads, Shakespeare. Lao-tsu. I think Rilke appeared, so the occasional modern author. This is a timeless book. I cannot judge its merits sufficiently to guess whether it could sustain a readership over centuries. It is timeless in that its topics and approach are not tied to any short period, but will likely provide food for thought as nutritious in two hundred years as today.
