This book expresses another dimension of Rumi’s world: a world like an eternal candle, illuminating people for centuries to remind humans of what matters most in life.
Rumi’s message is peace, love, happiness, and acceptance.
Rumi is one of the stars of Persian poetry and world literature.
So let’s listen to Rumi through this translation, as Rumi said at the beginning of his poetic collection, Masnavi Manavi:
“Listen to the reeds when they tell a tale.”
The Poems in this collection have been categorized into five sections:
- Love
- Happiness
- Candle
- Light
- Heart
The poems of Rumi are a treasure for the heart and soul.
