The thirteenth-century saint Jalaluddin Rumi has been called the greatest mystical poet of any age, and his work is compared to that of Dante and Shakespeare. Over a period of 25 years, he composed over 70,000 verses of poetry on the subjects of divine love, mystic passion, and ecstatic illumination.
Rumi was also a master storyteller, as this comprehensive exploration of his work so rewardingly reveals. Primarily an introduction to Rumi and the path of self-surrender, this book is arranged in such a way that it guides the reader from the poet's outer, historical world to the inner, spiritual essence of his teaching. The Essence of Rumi offers us the opportunity to overcome the limitations of our human view of the world and transform our sensory eye into the poet's all-seeing Ocean of Reality.
