The Essential Rumi by Rumi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a delightful book…. there is nothing in the universe bigger than love… Rumi and his poetry are the beautiful bridge between lover and the beloved… Rumi’s spiritual poetry reveals to us the most beautiful thing in this universe “The Universal Love”… Rumi’s poems conveys the message of love and compassion… His poems describes the soul’s yearning t0 return to God… The inner search, the attempts of overcoming the so called rules created by society is ever present in his poems.. Rumi is the front light bearer of Sufism and universal love… Rumi through his spiritual poems spread the religion of love. God can only be realized by love and purity of heart, not by any particular religion. That pure love can’t be explained by words or sounds, it is beyond our human intelligence. Only through love God can be realized. God’s grace is forever present all around us, God lives in every soul. It is our duty to find him in our heart and start that journey inside ourselves to find the fountain of the “Universal Soul”.

The book I finished reading today is ‘The Pilgrimage’ by Pulo Coelho..He is one of my favourite writer…..and I have to say he is an incredible writer…..
The book is about writers spiritual journey or I should say a pilgrimage to an ancient and nearly forgotton road by modern people,the route of pilgrimage to “Santiago de Compostela” on foot….The book contains writers own experience on the strange road to santiago…
The writer and his guide Petrus makes this pilgrimage on the ancient road to Santiago in hope to find his sword …..it is the road on which for centuries pilgrims all over the world made the sacred journey to pay homage to the Saints and Virgin Mary…..
This book tells us the story of the spiritual experience which the writer experiences throughout this journey..how he faces challenges ,defeats devils ,Universal love ,his triumph over his fear and how he faced his fears….
In this book reader will get to know about spiritual RAM practices..which is taught by writers guide Petrus…The writer learns those practices from his guide and practices these on his way to Santiago de Copostela and how he used those technics on various occasion….
I loved and enjoyed this book sooooo much…this book made me think of my inner soul , the sleeping goodness that is hidden in every human beings….The beauty of God and his entire creation…
And last but no means at least, I will encourage everyone to read this wonderful book……

Dalai Lama’s words…
“I would regard a compassionate, warm, kind hearted person as healthy. If you maintain a feeling of compassion,loving,kindness then something automatically opens your inner door. Through that, you can communicate much more easily with other people. And that feeling of warmth creates a kind of openness. You will find that all human beings are just like you, so you’ll be able to relate to them more easily”——His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama
Buddha’s Teachings…
- I wish to be humble, I am not enslaved by fame and wealth.
- Life should be valued equally, as nothing is more honorable than life itself.
- Every person has an inner self that can shine forth.

This book is about Ella Rubinstein who has a husband and three children and a pleasant home…Which seems so perfect but actually there is a huge emptiness at her heart….lack of Love…
