Rumi | Sufism

Reprint of the 1961 classic study of the discourses of the founder of the order of Whirling Dervishes.

Jalal Ad-Din Rumi, the towering light of Sufi wisdom is rightly known as Moulavi Ma'anavi, the gnostic scholar - in the Muslim world. He has been considered as the peak of spiritual excellence and insightful divine sagaciousness by the seekers of the inner meanings of words and worlds. Everyone with a genuine bend for true knowledge turns to Rumi, irrespective of caste and creed, to quench their thirst. When Rumi refers to Islam, he is talking about The way. He is not talking about the preconceived notions that people have about Islam today, or even in his day, but the spiritual path itself and the religious tradition.
