olivegogh's review against another edition
4.0
An introspective collection that speaks to the soul heart, and spirit. I appreciated themes of purification, inner transformation, letting go of the ego, and how Rumi invites to embrace a deeper state of being. Many of the poems offered profound wisdom, reflection on love, surrender, and the journey of the inner self.

Book 12 of 2022- Rumi’s little book of life
Author- Rumi
“If one were to tell an unborn child that outside the womb there is a glorious world with green fields and lush gardens high mountains and vast seas, with a sky lit by the sun and the moon, the unborn would not believe such absurdity. Still in the dark womb how could he imagine the indescribable majesty of this world? In the same way, when the mystics speak of worlds beyond scent and color, the common man deafened by greed and blinded by self-interest cannot grasp their reality.”
When I was so confused what to read next, this book found me. (Kindle unlimited recommendations have always been on point). It’s a book of Poetry and is divided into three categories- “Garden of soul, Garden of love, Garden of Spirit”. As the title says, it’s a book about life and it has a poem for all the feelings and emotions. The way he used the elements of nature, spirituality in every topic is something I loved the most about this book.
I read this on the flight ride from Kerala. And it made my journey even more beautiful. Rumi’s word has magic and This poetry is for your mind, heart and soul.

Rating for the format rather than the material. There are definitely better ways to come to Rumi's poems for the first time. Everything seemed to blur into one here, though it was really relaxing to listen to.
