The well-known 13th century Persian poet, Rumi, found a beloved spiritual teacher in the person of Shams of Tabriz, a wandering dervish and Godman. Their spiritual relationship was dynamic, mutually fruitful and life-changing. As the saying goes: When the student is ready, the Master appears.\nThe author of this book had also been seeking. Beyond the illusions and troubles of the world - both material and psychic - she yearned for something more. Exactly what, was somewhat indefinable: an inner connection, a true purpose, joy, meaning, inner peace, love in its most sacrosanct sense, and a freedom beyond all limitations. What part did she play in the grand scheme of things? Who was she really? About the time she discovered the poems of Rumi, she found a spiritual teacher and teaching which initiated a journey and a spiritual adventure. The journey is a work in progress. Like everyone's, it embraces a lot: challenges, success, loss, joy, tears, lessons and relationships of many kinds - the raw material of life.\nThis collection reflects moments of realization, transformation, ecstasy, love, surrender, weakness and strength along a spiritual path filled with human and spiritual experiences - one Soul's journey along an illuminated way.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1951937481\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1951937481.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Buckner, Barbara\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43527583793213,"sku":"BVV.1951937481.VG","price":12.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1951937481-0.jpg?v=1788037838","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/writing-rumi-poems-along-an-illuminated-way","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
