This profound work is not merely a book but a transformative experience, weaving the luminous verses of Jalāl ad-Dīn Rūmī into the fabric of our modern dilemmas - a healing balm for the much-troubled voices of our civilization.In a single breath, Rūmī bridges the philosophical grandeur of East and West, merging the boundless compassion of Jesus and Buddha with the service-driven devotion of Muhammad. He embodies the universal wisdom of Lao Tzu, the psychological depth of Carl Jung and Avicenna, the scientific wonder of a global renaissance, and the mystical transcendence of Tolstoy, Hafiz, and Emerson. He carries the literary brilliance of Shakespeare and Homer yet remains uniquely his own - a force of nature, an enigma wrapped in rhapsody, a wide-eyed child crafting the universe as his playground.This book also dissects and conducts an autopsy on the misrepresentation of Rūmī in popular social media: spiritual charlatanism, manifestation dogmas, self-deification, grandiosity, apotheosis, pantheology, panpsychism, fatalism, determinism, idolatry, false icons of identity and cult religiosity, moral relativism and new age nihilism.Rūmī’s critique of religious orthodoxy, his powerful vision of humanity, and the implications of his thought in the Qur’anic worldview for altruistic behaviour is explained in this book.Gabriel Iqbal is a Canadian scientist, poet, author, and humanitarian who has traveled and lived across the Turko-Persian Central Asian belt and knows the Persian language. In this book Gabriel has directly translated the Rūmī Poems from the original Persian. He is especially noted for his emphasis on the original message of Rūmī for the pragmatic upliftment of the human condition through justice, altruistic behaviour and the universal oneness of mankind.Gabriel walks a path that mirrors Rūmī’s own - having confronted the stark realities of war, violence, and human suffering. “As you journey deeper into the Heart’s core, the Mirror of your soul is polished to divine clarity.” - Rūmī Read more
