Product Description
Product Description
The cry of the soul in love with God has never been more eloquently expressed than by the great Persian Sufi master Jalaluddin Rumi (1207–1273). Readers have thrilled to his ecstatic songs of divine union for more than eight hundred years. Now, here is a collection of the best of Rumi’s poetry in an edition small enough to carry with you wherever you go.

You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?---Jalal-ad-Din Rumi ( * * * * * for substance. * * 1/2 for format.)
30 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
Named for the mythical (?) and mystical kingdom in the East, Shambhala Publications is known for bringing some of the greatest and sometimes most obscure philosophical writings of Mankind to the attention of the general public. Heavily (though not exclusively) concerned with Buddhist and Taoist thought, Shambhala Pocket Classics are an attractive set of unabridged minibooks which fit comfortably in a shirt pocket, making them perfect for reading on planes, trains, and automobiles. Titles in the set include THE BOOK OF TEA, WAY OF THE JEWISH MYSTICS, ZEN FLESH, ZEN BONES, THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD, TAO TE CHING, POEMS BY EMILY DICKINSON, THE ART OF PEACE, THE ART OF WAR, and this volume by Rumi.
Jalāl ad-Dīn Mu'ammad Balkhī Rumi, of Persian extraction, was born in 1207. Poet, theologian, jurist, and Sufi mystic, Rumi's life was irrevocably changed when he had a brief (1244-1248) but immeasurably profound association with the mysterious mendicant Shams-i-Tabrizi, in whom Rumi saw the light of God's face reflected. Thereafter, Rumi penned some of the most numinous poetry ever composed by a human spirit. He died in 1273, and is still remembered throughout Islam.
In form, there are far better Rumi collections (and books about Rumi) than this inconveniently thick little pocket edition which samples many earlier compilations. However, if you are out walking and are inspired by nature or by human companionship, then this book is nice to have at hand for its substance.

Bite-sized Rumi

if you're feeling like you need just a little hit of spirituality, this is the perfect book to put in your purse or keep in your desk. The book takes selections from Rumi's writing across his lifespan, so it's interesting to see the style and subject matter evolve.
