This short book offers a brief survey of Rumi's universal message, many of whose tenets are shared by other Asian religions and philosophical schools. It includes an introduction in three parts: Rumi and other mystical schools and figures, Rumi and his master/friend Shams and Rumi's wisdom; a translation of 29 rubai'i (quatrains), several single verses, together with the original Persian calligraphy and hand designs; 42 photographs, including the Mausoleum of Rumi, Shams and Bayazid and a bibliography.
