Divided into six books and consisting of some 26,000 verses, the poem was designed to convey a message of divine love and unity to the disciples of Rumi's Sufi order, known today as the Whirling Dervishes. Like the earlier books, Book Three interweaves amusing stories with homilies to instruct pupils in the understanding of God's meaning. It has a special focus on epistemology, illustrated with narratives that involve the consumption of food. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first ever verse translation of Book Three of the \u003cem\u003eMasnavi\u003c\/em\u003e, It follows the original by presenting Rumi's most mature mystical teachings in simple and attractive rhyming couplets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Our soul each moment struggles hard with death -\u003cbr\u003eThink of your faith as though it's your last breath.\u003cbr\u003eYour life is like a purse, and night and day\u003cbr\u003eAre counters of gold coins you've put away'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jalal Al-Din Rumi, Jawid Mojaddedi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199652031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199652037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jalal Al-Din Rumi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994819363071,"sku":"9780199652037","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e50706b-9589-4244-ac9f-65fa1313da85.jpg?v=1683332363","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-masnavi-book-three-jalal-al-din-rumi-9780199652037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
