The Sufi Path of Love: The Spiritual Teachings of Rumi: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Sufi Path of Love: The Spiritual Teachings of Rumi" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This is the most accessible work in English on the greatest mystical poet of Islam, providing a survey of the basic Sufi and Islamic doctrines concerning God and the world, the role of man in the cosmos, the need for religion, mans ultimate becoming, the states and stations of the mystical ascent to God, and the means whereby literature employs symbols to express unseen realities. William Chittick translates into English for the first time certain aspects of Rumis work. He selects and rearranges Rumis poetry and prose in order to leave aside unnecessary complications characteristic of other English translations and to present Rumis ideas in an orderly fashion, yet in his own words. Thorough, nontechnical introductions to each chapter, and selections that gradually present a greater variety of terms and images, make this work easily accessible to those interested in the spirituality of any tradition.
