Editorial Reviews

Product Description
these selections from the poetry of Rumi express the courage and intensity needed to overcome our ego-imprisonment. Much of Rumi's poetry has circled around the mystery of surrender. Some of it expresses a longing and even a bewilderment but there is also much that expresses the discipline clarity and intensity that true surrender requires. the lion is Rumi's image for that fierce intensity that recognizes no authority except the highest truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book of PRIDE, June 8, 2008
By Denise Bolds "Lion Who Reads A Lot!" (New York United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
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...
