'Joking is teaching, so take care to listen - Don't look at just
the joke's form of expression. To jesters every serious thing's
hilarious, While to the wise hilarious jokes are serious' Rumi is
the greatest mystic poet to have written in Persian, and the
Masnavi is his masterpiece. Divided into six books and consisting
of some 26,000 verses, the poem was designed to convey a message of
divine love and unity to the disciples of Rumi's Sufi order, known
today as the Whirling Dervishes. Like the earlier books, Book Four
interweaves amusing stories with homilies to instruct pupils in
understanding of God's meaning. It has a special focus on the
mystical knowledge of the spiritual guide, elaborated through
stories such as Solomon's freeiration to the Queen of Sheba, and
animal fables. This is the first ever verse translation of Book
Four of the Masnavi. It follows the original by presenting Rumi's
most mature mystical teachings in simple and attractive rhyming
couplets.
