I always loved Arthur Waley's translation - i found it exactly 50 yrs. ago - i walked into my public library, fresh to the spiritual quest - went to the esoteric section and pulled this book off the shelves, and opened (chance or coincidence?) at Chapter 47 - and here was the text of George Harrison's 'The Inner Light' (B side to Lady Madonna 1969)
... the inner light is on youtube, Arthur Waley's translation is online - google it - but i think you'll find just the translation - the book itself is incomparable because of Waley's background notes, and he has the humility to tell us when he's unsure of what the translation might be.
