Summary

"The Mesnevi" by Maulana Jalal al-Din Rumi is a spiritual poem from the 1200s that looks at love, being spiritual, and what life is all about. Told through stories full of characters, it teaches lessons about being good and understanding yourself, with the goal to guide the reader to find divine love and internal peace. The beginning shares information about the author’s life and the Mevlevi dervishes, a group he inspired, famous for their unique spiritual acts. A blend of history and spiritual questions are asked, such as exploring the impact on him early in life through his father’s guidance as a scholar, outlining love, the feeling of loss, and searching for what is true.
