About the Book
How strange an incident it is that from a kid, in sixth at school in fifty’s last who took Persian as an optional subject (later Engineer by profession), having never a chance over 60 years last to have a bird eye view even of any book in Persian, Nature takes an output as big as mountain; interpretation of an occurrence of the metaphysical arena in English and that too a poem!
From Gabriel’s Wing I had come to know that Masnavi Rum was the sourcing point wherefrom the philosophy of Khudi (selfhood) of Iqbal took off. How it was explained with the allegory of a ring etc. Masnavi Rum was referred to there every here and there. Consultation of Masnavi Rum was now an essentiality. Also it became more essential to go for Masnavi, on the account that endeavor of Iqbal titled Javed Nama, a journey through the world of Soul was conducted by Rumi in the capacity of guide or Sheikh of Iqbal in that mission.
