Quotes

"This treasury of wisdom will bring you ecstatic spiritual insights and a profound understanding of yourself and theworld. Keep it by your bedside and read a little bit every day. Enjoy each parable and each verse as you would a gourmet menu."


—Dr. Deepak Chopra
“One could live a complete life based on the wondrous words of Rumi. But add images and story, and you have more than enough for a lifetime, an overabundance, which is what Rumi is about—an excess of wisdom, beauty, and pleasure. This book will be one of the few I take wherever I go.”


—Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul and Original Self
 
"The substance and context of the Mathnawi of Rumi are spiritual and metaphysical, while its form is mostly that of parables. This volume adds to the stories a visual dimension, drawn mostly from authentic works of Islamic art. In this way it enhances accessibility to this unparalleled work of Persian Sufi literature for the many readers sensitive to the visual arts, making it easier for them to delve into that ocean of spirituality for which Rumi is so justly famous."


—Seyyed Hossein Nasr
"Exquisitely designed volume. . . . Perhaps the most commendable aspect of The Illustrated Rumi is the Islamic art that provides a luxuriant context for the parables and poems. These designs and plates reveal the truth of the statement from Muslim tradition: ‘God is beautiful and He loves beauty.’”
