Along the centuries numerous interpretations and definitions of Sufism have waxed and waned but the undeniable beauty of their verse in its myriad of forms including the musical Ghazal (love song), Masnavi (narrative) and Rubai (quatrain) always remains. Our chronological volume of the classic Sufi poets helps us understand the spiritual direction of Sufism, starting with Rabia in the 8th century through to Khwaja Ghulam Farid over a thousand years later.

Un viaggio nel mondo poetico e spirituale del grande mistico sufi Rumi, vissuto nel XIII secolo, considerato non solo un poeta ma anche un profeta e un santo, tanto che per molti musulmani è un nuovo Maometto, per molti cristiani un nuovo Gesù, per molti ebrei un nuovo Mosè. Il suo messaggio – l’amore è l’essenza di tutte le cose – può essere assimilato a quello di san Francesco e di Dante, suoi contemporanei, ma si rilevano anche affinità con il pensiero di Pitagora, Socrate e Platone.

It is customary, when referring to the life and work of a poet, to speak in academic terms. But with Jalal-ud-Din Rumi, this custom does not apply. His direct and indirect influence on both our spiritual lives and world literature over the past seven centuries has been immeasurable. Not only does his writing continue to set sales records, he is also remembered as the founder of Mevlevi Sufism—the whirling dervishes—whose followers in this century have numbered in the millions.

“What I had thought of before as God, I met today in a human being.” Those were the words of the Persian mystic poet Rumi upon meeting the wild dervish Shams Tabriz. And out of their friendship bloomed many of Jelaluddin Rumi’s most inspired verses. On Just Being Here, the acclaimed poet...

Bugün için dinlenmesi gereken metinlerin başında hiç şüphesiz ki Mevlana´nın ölümsüz eseri Mesnevi gelmektedir.
