Omar Khayyam of Persia wrote a large number of four line stanza poems which are called Rubaiyat. Through his poems, besides a host of other ideas, he expounded a new philosophy that every thing on this mutable world is for the best who can evaluate things properly and understand their actual worth. Also, he cancels hypocrisy and tries to discover the truth which lies at the bottom of human mind. Khayyam, the astronomer poet, was a spiritualist who shows that man is the victim of the quixotic tendencies of his own mind.
