Hvem var Jelal'uddin Rumi 1207 - 1273?

Om du er troende eller ikke - Rumi hadde noen spennende betrakninger om livet og tilværelsen tidlig på 1200-tallet. "Seasons of Peace" presenterer Rumi som følger:

Jelal'uddin Rumi, the 13th century mystic poet, was truly one of the most passionate and profound poets in history. Now, today his presence still remains strong, due in part to how his words seem to drip of the divine, and startle a profound rememberance that links all back to the Soul-Essence.

Born in what is present day Afghanistan in 1207, he produced his master work the Masnawi which consists of over 60,000 poems before he died in 1273. The best way to fully say in words his impact, is that he has the ability to describe the Indescribable, Ineffable -- God.
