Muhammad Isa Waley Hardback 9781847741028 "Everyone has, in their view, become my close friend but they have not sought out the secrets within me." – Rumi There are many sides to J alal al-Din Rumi – scholar, preacher, saint, mystic, love poet, didactic poet, and spiritual master – but the version of him that became ‘the best-selling poet in North America’ lacks authenticity. This new anthology of Rumi’s teachings is freshly translated and supplemented with commentaries, and also includes selected texts in Persian. The aim is to bring readers closer to his work's true, traditional meaning – and to the man himself as a great Islamic scholar, teacher and saint. Contents: Who Are We? The Nature and Origin of Mankind Facing Facts: Death, Suffering, Change Foes and the Battle: Enemies of God and Man Guides and Helpers: Prophets, Shaykhs, and Saints Wings to Fly With: Fear, Hope, and Love Bitter and Sweet: Self-Discipline and Spiritual Progress Faith and Wisdom: The Dīn of Islam From Within Beyond Duality: Dilemmas Resolved Lord and Cherisher: The Relationship with God Aspects of Unity: Wisdom, Knowledge, Serenity Show more
