Persian Poetry read by: Bahman Solati

We are spiritual beings trapped in this world. Our true place is not on this Earth, we belong to the Heavens, and the soul is a drop away from the ocean of love, i.e. the lover of all lovers the beloved of beloveds; the fountain of love is the ultimate creator of all, and the designer of all the stars and the universe. This beloved is referred to as Salma (Beloved) by Hafez and Mashooqey-e rooh (The Beloved of the Soul) by Rumi and many other names by many other poets.

All of the spiritual and mystical poets of Persia have in one way or another tried to the best of their ability to express the concept of love through the fictive force of poetry and make it comprehendible for their readers.

Rumi is one of the greatest spiritual teachers of mankind and his advice and words of wisdom opens new windows to spirituality and knowing one's self. These CDs have been carefully chosen to express such feelings and words of wisdom, therefore, those individuals who truly understand the meanings and feel the flow and the richness of the words are the ones taking the first steps towards understanding the ultimate and the true love.
