For Rumi, peace is the natural quest of a 'whole person', \u003cbr\u003eand the perimeters between self and universe are mitigated to the extent \u003cbr\u003ethat the material body becomes indistinct of its typical cultural identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOffering a unique look at Being and Oneness, Rumi's poetry redefines \u003cbr\u003e'Wholeness' with deep spiritual knowledge, intellectual acumen, wit, humor, \u003cbr\u003eand literary genius. As one admirer said, \"In the fight to root out conflict, \u003cbr\u003eviolence and war, Rumi's holistic view of unconditional love may prove one \u003cbr\u003eof our best friends.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAfter centuries, Rumi today is and he was yesterday: an icon of Unity and Love \u003cbr\u003efor humanity and, in testimony to his timeless appeal, has been at the top of \u003cbr\u003ethe best-seller list in the poetry category for over ten years. Author Ashraf's \u003cbr\u003eskilled weaving of the spiritual, rational, cultural and philosophical \"threads\" \u003cbr\u003ethat  converge in Rumi's thought has the makings of a desperately needed \u003cbr\u003eunitive language that humanists, rationalists, theists, non-theists and all thinkers \u003cbr\u003eof good will can embrace as they explore and communicate about the universe \u003cbr\u003ewe share. Shakespeare gave us the query, \"To be or not to be...\" . Rumi asks,\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTo love or not to love...?, and the 'WHOLE HEART' hears and responds\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003einstantly, \"YES!\"","brand":"Codhill Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080492007664,"sku":"2940014990998","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014990998_p0.jpg?v=1763618400","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014990998","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
