'Your soul each moment struggles hard with death - Think of your
faith as though it's your last breath. Your life is like a purse,
and night and day Are counters of gold coins you've put away' 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 Three
interweaves amusing stories with homilies to instruct pupils in
mystical knowledge. It has a special focus on epistemology,
illustrated with narratives that involve the consumption of food.
This is the first ever verse translation of Book Three of the
Masnavi. It follows the original by presenting Rumi's most mature
mystical teachings in simple and attractive rhyming couplets.
