The Masnavi of Rumi, Book Two

Author: Jalaloddin Rumi
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786726092
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 517

Book Description
Jalaloddin Rumi's Masnavi-ye Ma'navi, or 'Spiritual Couplets', composed in the 13th Century, is a monumental work of poetry in the Sufi tradition of Islamic mysticism. For centuries before his love poetry became a literary phenomenon in the West, Rumi's Masnavi had been revered in the Islamic world as its greatest mystical text. Drawing upon a vast array of characters, stories and fables, and deeply versed in spiritual teaching, it takes us on a profound and playful journey of discovery along the path of divine love, toward its ultimate goal of union with the source of all Truth. In Book Two of the Masnavi, the second of six volumes, we travel with Rumi toward an understanding of the deeper truth and reality, beyond the limits of the self. Alan Williams's authoritative new translation is rendered in highly readable blank verse and includes the original Persian text for reference. True to the spirit of Rumi's poem, this new translation establishes the Masnavi as one of the world's great literary achievements for a global readership. Translated with an introduction, notes and analysis by Alan Williams and including the Persian text edited by Mohammad Este'lami.

The Book of Rumi

Author: Rumi
Publisher: Hampton Roads Publishing Company
ISBN: 157174746X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 206

Book Description
Philip Pullman, author of 'His Dark Materials' trilogy, has remarked that "after nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world." This new collection of Rumi stories fills that need. This fresh prose translation of 105 short teaching stories by Rumi, which form the core of the six-volume Masnavi, explores the hidden spiritual aspects of everyday experience. Rumi transforms the seemingly mundane events of daily life into profound Sufi teaching moments. These prose gems open the mystical portal to the world of the ancient mystic. These stories include well-known and popular tales such as "Angel of Death," "The Sufi and His Cheating Wife," "Moses and the Shepherd," "Chickpeas," and "The Greek and Chinese Painters" as well as the less commonly quoted parables: "The Basket Weaver," "The Mud Eater," and "A Sackful of Pebbles." Rumi's voice alternates between playful and authoritative, whether he is telling stories of ordinary lives or inviting the discerning reader to higher levels of introspection and attainment of transcendent values. Mafi's translations delicately reflect the nuances of Rumi's poetry while retaining the positive tone of all of Rumi's writings, as well as the sense of suspense and drama that mark the essence of the Masnavi.

Book Description
Fihe Ma Fihi (In It is, what is in It) provides a record of seventy-one talks and lectures given by Rumi on various occasions to his disciples. This book is one of the first Persian prose books after the so-called Persian literature revolution. Moreover, the book has become an introduction to the Masnavi. Also, many concepts in Sufism are described in this book in simple terms. The teaching is based upon verses of the Holy Quran or the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). I selected 21 teachings from the book and provided a simple Farsi explanation of each. You may read the original text with the help of phonetical signs, then read the modern Farsi explanation of it. Later there is the English translation.After each teaching, you find a blank page, where you may write down your observations. What you have experienced in life, or how this teaching may help you in the future. Even to write the main idea or interesting sentences for yourself. As no word can change to knowledge, before passing through yourself.
