Two songs by the great Indian master Naropa are explained in detail by Thrangu Rinpoche a realized Tibetan Buddhist teacher of the present time. His approach is traditional but his style is conversational and pragmatic. He includes refutations and limitations of other approaches a comparison of Mahamudra vs. regular Shamatha 5 wisdoms as well as the 6 paramitas. Reading this book one realizes that Mahamudra ultimately encourages turning the eye on the "I."
