"Carefully selected from a book of Rumi's teaching poems, these daily meditations are intended to add insight and, sometimes prodding, as we journey through our own consciousness in pursuit of spiritual growth. They cut through the clutter and confusion of the physical world and remind us that the choices we make are crucial and that the answers can be difficult but are always simple when we remember what's at stake. Maryam Mafi knows Rumi as a realist whose writings bring us back to ourselves with unrelenting clarity. Her selection of Rumi verses, 365 of them, is inspired and heart-felt. Though they appear almost commonplace at first reading, your customers will find that if they meditate on them day by day as the title suggests, they will be lifted into a world where negativity has become a glaring disruption in an increasingly harmonious field. It's a terrific introduction to Rumi's poetry and a serious nondenominational healing tool as well." -Anna Jedrzieweki, Retailing Insight October 2014

Authors

Maryam Mafi was born and raised in Iran. She graduated from Tufts University in 1981, where she studied Sociology and Literature. While reading for her Master's degree in International Communications at American and Georgetown Universities she began translating Persian literature and has been doing so ever since. Reading Rumi's poetry, she says, has led her to a 're-education' in her own language and a new appreciation of her spiritual heritage.

The only Rumi translation designed specifically for daily meditation
 
Here is a companion for life that provides for each day of the year poetry filled with Rumi’s wisdom and spiritual insight. These poems have been selected on the basis of the poignancy of their message and their relevance to modern life.
 
This is timeless wisdom of age-old sayings, translated for modern readers by a native speaker. This book is not only a guide for meditation but also a light switch that you can turn on to make your daily connection with spirit. Use these words as tools to better your life each day. They are here for you to incorporate into your daily life, to draw continued guidance, inspiration, and spiritual wealth.

You are a mystic pupil
continue your search
with unquenchable thirst
The arena of spirituality has no bounds
abandon your preconceptions
about the ultimate state of being
For you, it’s all in your searching
