ISBN: 9781590305324.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough alone, the lover is never lonely,\nForever hidden with the Beloved.\n\nLove is the meaning of our existence, the raw material of transformation, the glorious way of access to Divine intimacy. This teaching infuses the lyric verse of Rumi (1207–1273), the greatest of the Sufi poets. The poems in this collection, taken from among the masters many volumes of work, focus on one of his greatest themes: how love grows and matures for those on the spiritual path. Kabir Helminski and Ahmad Rezwani have crafted a translation that remains faithful to the original Persian while giving eloquent expression to the joy of Rumis astonishing encounter with the Divine. As our love moves on to ever more refined and exalted objects, Rumi declares, the distinction between lover and Beloved becomes irrelevant—and wonderfully so:\n\nThere is no Love greater than Love with no object,\nFor then you, yourself, have become Love itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986314063925,"sku":"ByrdShop_1590305329","price":24.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781590305324_87965634-13ee-423b-945a-45f102a3aad1.jpg?v=1778854478","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/loves-ripening-rumi-on-the-hearts-journey-9781590305324","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
