This is the first book which looks at Rumi?s poetry from the perspective of science and technology. In the 13th century, Rumi, through his higher senses, experienced the most astonishing visions about the makeup of the universe and its mysteries. Rumi described phenomena such as the creation of the universe, the origin of music, our five higher senses, force of gravity, nuclear explosion, sunlight, the spinning Earth and galaxies, and matter/antimatter that scientists discovered many centuries later. Rumi shows how to appreciate the wonderful journey of life in time and space on this earth and beyond. Above all, Rumi?s poetry emphasizes love, the miraculous force that quickens the flow of the energy of our souls and allows us to soar to the highest state of ecstasy. Rumi declares that love is the reason for the creation of the universe. Love makes mountains dance and the whole universe sing a heavenly song of Divine Unity. This book is also about Rumi?s majestic journey and transformation from a conservative theologian into one of the most magnificent, inspirational mystics of all time. Dr. Naini?s translations from Rumi?s original Farsi texts offer a few sips of Rumi?s incredible potion of love, visions, and wisdom.
