  Synopsis Details Reviews  
Rumi's "Spiritual Verses" is the greatest mystical poem in Islamic culture and of all time. Rumi tells of our human separation from reality, love and truth. He shows how love - neither erotic nor sentimental but divine, by which the universe is held together - enlightens ignorance and dissolves suffering. The first book of the "Masnavi" is the key to the whole work: it takes off from simple, amusing tales into realms unimaginable, but wholly familiar to the human heart.
