{"product_id":"9780141936994","title":"Spiritual Verses","description":"Begun in 1262 AD, Masnavi-ye Ma ‘navi, or ‘spiritual couplets', is thought to be the longest single-authored ‘mystical’ poem ever written. As the spiritual masterpiece of the Persian Sufi tradition, it teaches how to progress to the ultimate goal of the Sufi path - union with God. Jalaloddin Rumi was a poet and a mystic, but he was first a teacher; in these verses he draws the reader into the complexities of human love and separation and explains the path to divine love through the elimination of self-regard and worldly desires. Drawing on diverse sources from bawdy tales and fables to stories of the prophet Mohammed, these verses are brief in expression yet copious in meaning.","brand":"Penguin Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119499952368,"sku":"9780141936994","price":21.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141936994_p0.jpg?v=1763655765","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141936994","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
