<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>At long last, an accessible little book that focuses on the teachings of Rumi's teacher and inspiration, Shams of Tabriz. Included in this slim, charming volume is a biographical sketch of the great Sufi teacher and mystic and a new translation of 500 of his core teachings that bring into fresh focus the meaning and mysteries of life and love.</p><p>There are many books on Rumi and many translations of his works and yet most readers are unaware of how Rumi became a mystic. Shams, an Arabic word that means the sun, was the catalyst that converted the rather resolute and ascetic Rumi, the cleric and teacher, into Rumi, the passionate disciple of the religion of love. He was the agent of the propulsive mystical energy that transformed Rumi the reticent into Rumi the ecstatic poet.</p><p>Rumi lovers, spiritual seekers, and devotees of the mystical path will meet this little book of wisdom and mystical secrets with enthusiasm.</p><p><i>I shall not place you in my heart<br>For you may get hurt by its wounds.<br>I won't keep you in my eyes<br>For I may belittle you and<br>expose you to the ridicule of common men.<br>I will hide you inside my soul, not in my heart or in my eyes, <br>so that you may become one with my breath.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"After reading this insightful work, readers interested in Sufism, poetry, or Rumi himself will be delighted to have further insight and clarity about the influence that an otherwise almost unknown Muslim mystic had on one of the most celebrated poets of all time."--Publishers Weekly<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Maryam Mafi</b> was born and raised in Iran. She graduated from Tufts University in 1981, where she studied Sociology and Literature.
