Teachings of Rumi by Andrew Harvey
A profound, in-depth collection of Rumi's prose and poetry-from his most celebrated works to his more obscure teachingsJelalludin Rumi (1207-1273) led the quiet life of an Islamic teacher in the central Anatolia (modern Turkey) until the age of thirty-seven, when he met a wandering dervish named Shams Tabriz-through whom he encountered the Divine Presence in a way that utterly transformed him. The result of this epiphany was the greatest body of mystical poetry the world has ever seen, and the establishment of a spiritual movement that would eventually stretch from Africa to China, enduring to our own day.
This collection of versions of Rumi by Andrew Harvey contains some of the master's most luminous verse, along with selections from his lesser-read prose works, with the aim of presenting a balanced view of his teaching that includes both the high-flying love of God and the rigorous path of discipline essential for those who seek it.
Andrew Harvey is a poet, writer, teacher, and mystic who has written a number of books, including A Trip in Ladakh and Return of the Mother. Harvey, a former fellow of All Souls College in Oxford and now a visiting professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, has a devoted following among spiritual and mainstream literary audiences.
