Sufi stories, mystical teachings, and poetry

From the cover: The well was deep from which rumi drew inspiration. The selections in the book are taken from Rumi's epic poem, "Masnavi." Consisting of Sufi stories, ethical and mystical teachings, the poem's beauty and imagery are soul-reaching and revealing. Rumi captures that which is sacred and celebrates it with passion and reverence and speaks across boundaries and traditions. If you are new to Rumi, be prepared to be transported to a place where you see differently yourself and the world about you. Prepare yourself to be lifted beyond everyday bounds. Let your soul surrender to Rumi's spiritual wisdom and prepare to be enlightened. Here are more than words; more than poems; here are sublime meditations.
