lulu.com. Paperback. New. Paperback. 138 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.3in.Masnawi: is Rumis major work in the form of (Spiritual Couplets), a six-volume poem regarded by some Sufis as the Persian-language Quran. It is considered by many to be one of the greatest works of mystical poetry. It contains approximately 27, 000 lines of Persian poetry. This book, English translation of Rumis famous Masnavi, gives the booklets as the form of Tales, categorized and focused on each topics. Rumis poetry is often divided into various categories: the quatrains (rubayat) and odes (ghazal) of the Divan, the six books of the Masnavi. The prose works are divided into The Discourses, The Letters, and the Seven Sermons. Rumi believed passionately in the use of music, poetry and dance as a path for reaching God. For Rumi, music helped devotees to focus their whole being on the divine and to do this so intensely that the soul was both destroyed and resurrected. It was from these ideas that the practice of whirling Dervishes developed into a ritual form. His teachings became the base for Mevlevi. This item ships from multiple locations.

Defining his criteria of selection more as anomalous power of voice and vision than anything representative, he assembles a powerful gallery. (And excludes some writers-Whitman, Dickinson, et al.-who might otherwise be at home with his theme.) Readers can wander from Rumi's (1207-1273) playfully moralistic "Dervish at the Door," a poem of story and dialogue, to Rimbaud's "perilous path" in "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell," onward and inward to Rilke's Duino Elegies: "Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels'/ hierarchies?," and finally encounter the "angelheaded hipsters" of Allen Ginsberg's Howl. The many textures of spiritual experience seem to sway and deepen with a reader's passage. The translators include Robert Bly, Jane Hirshfield and Stephen Mitchell.". Ppbk.
