    5.0 out of 5 stars Fihi ma fihi as it's called, January 24, 2003
    By A Customer
    I have previously read Rumi's poetry which I have found to have been hard to comprehend due to translation mistakes and cultural differences.

    This book is like a Sufi version of say Confucius' Analects(discourses with pupils). Here Rumi and friends, and disciples converse on everything from mundane everyday matters to the esoteric, and connect them together into a whole.

    This gives a more practical and down to earth approach into this Sufi's teachings.

    This is perhaps the best work available from Rumi. His poetry is good and deep, but this is more accessable and therefore more enlightening. After reading this you will know why Rumi is concidered a Sufi master.

    Strange that this book isn't more widely available....Theres thankfully a free E-book version of this outhere somewhere. Get that till this is reissued.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Speaking of silence, June 21, 2000
    "What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence" said Wittgenstein at the end of his Tractatus Logico Philosophicus. The breadth and scope of 'Discourses of Rumi', dictated during the closing years of Rumi's life, has not only anticipated but answered this most profound philosophical question. Silence does not equal being mute: to Rumi, and perhaps Wittgenstein silence is a journey into a world untouched by 'vulgar' words. It is a world beyond understanding. It is the world of 'knowing'.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A book full of unrestrained exuberant ideas, September 16, 2008
    By Shahab (India) - See all my reviews
    One of the most exuberant books. This book will give you a most valuable insight into the ideas of Rumi, one of the worlds most famous Persian poets, in a way that is neither holier then thou, nor disconnencted from you. I felt the power of his ideas gushing inside me as I read this book. A must read for anyone remotedly interested in improving their way of life. It consists of anecdotes and so can be easily read by everyone.
