Book Reviews of The Love Poems of RumiBook Review: Excellent! Summary: 5 Stars
Jalal al-Din Mohammad Balkhi (more popularly known as `Rumi') is a well known 13th century Sufi poet and theologian. I have come across his work several times in that past, but I never read more than a few passages. This is the first time I have sat down and read a collection of his work `cover to cover,' and I deeply enjoyed it. Rumi's poems are deeply spiritual and penetrate perfectly into the human condition of love and the tides of overwhelming emotions that run with it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and I would especially recommended it to men. There are some really romantic and spiritual poems in here that I think would make a nice impression on a `special' woman in your life.
Book Review: Beautiul, Moving and Absorbing! Summary: 5 Stars
Chopra's selections, of some of Rumi's most passionate poems, are a delight for the heart and soul! The new translations by Farsi scholar Fereydoun Kia are very deep and moving. There is NO OTHER poet with as much passion for the heart, mind and soul as Rumi. His longings for love are our longings and desires yet his expressions will carry you away and fill you up. These favorite selections of Chopra's will seep into your heart and soul.Share these poems with your lover, by the fire, in each other's arms, and feel the magic of Rumi weaving his spell!
Book Review: A universal sense of divine Love as the only real being. Summary: 5 Stars
Rumi's sense of divine Love as the essence of one's own being, shines resplendently through almost every poem in this collection. He seems to say that looking for life outside this sense is somewhat like to trying follow footsteps through the sand as they dissolve in the waves in front of you. This "lover" must be seen within spiritual consciousness; must be felt in the warmth and security of the perfection of the Divine. Rumi must be interpreted metaphysically, yet speaks to the everyday experience. Drink in the spiritual wine!

Book Review: Legendary among Legends. Summary: 5 Stars
Rumi embodies a surreal eloquence that ceaselessly provokes emotionality within the chasms of the soul. His mellifluous words are mind-stirring and spirit-churning and are emblematic of an apotheosis; a reconciliation between brute and divine.
Rumi writes for God, to God, with God, and only for God. His poetry transcends the boundaries of materialism, space, time, and corporeal existence and as such, the POET himself, shall forever be, the most beautiful POEM of all.
