These selections from Rumi's Mathnawi – a classic of Sufi spiritual literature – express the "lion's roar" of courage, discipline, clarity, and integrity. The lion represents the fierce intensity that recognizes no authority except the highest truth. At the same time, Rumi's lion is full of heart and devotion. Through these poems the reader will explore the qualities that are vital to the spiritual aspirant who seeks to overcome the imprisonment of ego.

This review is from: Feeling the Shoulder of the Lion: Poetry and Teaching Stories of Rumi (Paperback)
For spiritual growth - this book is it! I have maked up the margins, and typed excerpts for my personal journal. In one word = EXCELLENT!!! So many principles I have read and I am witnessing being used today by top, notable politicians - and they don't even know it...
