Representaion Concering Books Open Secret: Versions of Rumi
Mawlānā Jalāl-ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhī (Persian: مولانا جلال الدین محمد بلخى), also known as Mawlānā Jalāl-ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī or, just "Rumi" as we know him. He is one of the most important minds and spirits I have ever read.Coleman Barks always delivers his amazing talent for translation and zeal for truth which is, in the modern era, almost unparalleled.
His "Roman title" or his namesake, belies an understanding of how similar all religions are at their heart.
My favorite quote, which I carry in my wallet still, and have since I was seventeen, says one of the truest things (I believe) ever penned.
"The clear bead at the center changes everything.
There are no edges to my loving now,
It's been said that there is a window
That opens from one mind to another,
But if there is no wall,
There is no need
For the fitting of a window or a latch."
Read him. Read him. At all costs.

His poems have been widely translated into many of the world's
A now-deceased friend "regifted" this book to me years ago. It was my first exposure to Rumi, and to Persian mystical poetry. I've read every poem dozens of times. Only much later did I learn that the translator performed these poems to live music; had I known, I would have been there. To say they changed my life is a gross understatement. These poems are life itself.

An amazing approach to romanticism and reality at the same time . The writer is able to express all his notion in very attention taking way and everything here is open to interpretations. Rumi,as always one of his kind ❤.
I read and re-read Rumi monthly. As a poet and one who sees "God" in all things, I promote this collection of poems to those who believe that the spirit lies in all things.
Beautiful. Heart Wrenching beautiful
