Product Description

Rumi's Spiritual Verses is the greatest mystical poem in Islamic culture - and of all time. Rumi examines our human separation from reality, love, and truth. He shows how love - neither erotic nor sentimental but divine, by which the universe is held together - enlightens ignorance and dissolves suffering. The first book of the Masnavi is the key to the whole work: it takes off from simple, amusing tales into realms unimaginable, but wholly familiar to the human heart.

A superb work 7 Feb 2008
Format:Audio CD
If you ever wished you could read Rumi in the original and so taste the true flavour of his teaching, here is a translation which, at last, will satisfy you. Without being pedantic or obscure, it allows the reader to discover Rumi undistorted and in all his power. Both brilliant and moving.

This is the best poetic translation of Mathnawi of Rumi in English. I would recommend it to all lovers of Rumi. I am already looking forward for the next volumes.

absolutely superb 11 Feb 2008
By M. C. Maufroy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
At last, a translation of Rumi's Masnavi which, without ever being pedantic or obscure, is both faithful to the original Persian and to Rumi's teaching. I highly recommend it. This is only the first book of the Masnavi, though (the title is incomplete and misleading) and I am looking forward to the translations of the next five books. A brilliant and moving piece of work.
Excellent 12 May 2012

I have been reading the Masnavi of Rumi in Farsi and since my Farsi sis not that fluent, I purchased this book to follow along in the English. It is one of the best translation I have read so far. Of course, nothing beats the original in Farsi!!
