Book Description
Life-changing wisdom from the popular Persian sage and poet This is a collection of inspirational wisdom for living a meaningful and productive life. The selection of quotations is chosen to reflect Rumi's inspiring and uplifting approach to life and address the inevitable issues that we encounter during our lifetimes. Here, Rumi talks directly to us, just as he did to his contemporaries 800 years ago. The wisdom includes no-nonsense statements, observations, and facts, ranging from matters of the heart, to understanding human nature, to embracing the nature of the divine. The end result is an extended meditation on how to live one's life with meaning, productivity, and kindness. This new translation of Rumi's wisdom is fresh, contemporary, and practical. It will appeal to the many who have loved his poetry, those who need a dose of daily inspiration, spiritual seekers, and those looking for traditional Sufi wisdom. Selections from Rumi's Little Book of Wisdom: "People always fall in love with what they can't have. They readily give up their freedom in order to own what they can't understand; and they never fully appreciate what they've rightfully owned from the beginning." "There is never a moment when we're not in love. Every hour there might be a new love: the love of sleep, love of rest, love of the harp, or simply love of beauty. When we feel enveloped by these feelings, we know we're enveloped by Love." "What a shame to finally reach the open sea but settle for a modest jug of water!"

Pages : 139
Book Description
Mankind is rediscovering Rumi. His universal teachings are just as relevant as they were when he wrote them… All of us have much to learn from 13th century poet and scholar. Doctor Nevzat Tarhan explains how the wisdom inherent in Rumi’s work, the Masnavi, can be the cure we need for our souls and our psychological wellbeing. Tarhan explains that we must take living wisdom of Rumi as a guide as we navigate our daily lives. He read the Masnavi as a work that treats our hearts and pysches in a manner that is a work that is now accepted by modern psychology. Tarhan’s interpretive methods enable us to raise our awareness and see the truth within ourselves. Drawing inspiration from Rumi, Tarhan writes: “Unless there is light the eye of the man is blind, Unless there are facts eye of love is blind, Unless there is morality the eye of intelligence is blind, Unless there is balance the eye of greed is blind, Unless there is modesty the eye of fame is blind, Unless there is virtue the eye of power is blind, Unless there is extravagance the eye of money is blind, Unless there is empathy the eye of expedience is blind, Unless there is equity the eye of justice is blind, Unless there is medical ethics the eye of physician is blind, Unless there is wisdom the eye of civilization is blind…” “Rumi will be the one who will show us the way as we transition from the information age to the age of wisdom. He affects the codes within our spiritual programming, activating tenderness within us.” Doctor Nevzat Tarhan

The Gift of Rumi
Author: Emily Jane O'Dell
Publisher: St. Martin's Essentials
ISBN: 1250261384
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
An authentic exploration of the real Rumi As one of the world's most loved poets, Rumi's poems are celebrated for their message of love and their beauty, but too often they are stripped of their mystical and spiritual meanings. The Gift of Rumi offers a new reading of Rumi, contextualizing his work against the broader backdrop of Islamic mysticism and adding a richness and authenticity that is lacking in many Westernized conceptions of his work. Author Emily Jane O'Dell has studied Sufism both academically, in her work and research at Harvard, Columbia, and the American University of Beirut, and in practice, learning from a Mevlevi master and his whirling dervishes in Istanbul. She weaves this expertise throughout The Gift of Rumi, sharing a new vision of Rumi’s classic work. At the heart of Rumi’s mystical poetry is the “religion of love” which transcends all religions. Through his majestic verses of ecstasy and longing, Rumi invites us into the religion of the heart and guides us to our own loving inner essence. The Gift of Rumi gives us a key to experiencing this profound and powerful invitation, allowing readers to meet the master in a new way.
