Description: RUMI'S HOLISTIC HUMANISM: The Timeless Appeal of the Great Mystic Poet
 
presents Rumi's startling conviction that "Love is the strongest unifying
 
force in the Universe." Rumi said that everything in the universe is in orbit. 
The atoms, molecules, galaxies, and universes are all turning, around a center, 
and the center is Love. For Rumi, peace is the natural quest of a 'whole person', 
and the perimeters between self and universe are mitigated to the extent 
that the material body becomes indistinct of its typical cultural identity.

 
Offering a unique look at Being and Oneness, Rumi's poetry redefines 
'Wholeness' with deep spiritual knowledge, intellectual acumen, wit, humor, 
and literary genius. As one admirer said, "In the fight to root out conflict, 
violence and war, Rumi's holistic view of unconditional love may prove one 
of our best friends."
