Rumi's son wrote, "After meeting Shams, my father danced all day and sang all night. He had been a scholar he became a poet. He had been an ascetic he became drunk with Love." Shams of Tabriz was indeed Rumi's "Sun," the one who set him alight with Divine Love. With the opening of that friendship, a new paradigm appeared and Love flowed out into this world in such abundance that even after almost 800 years the ripples are still widening to encompass the whole of this world . . . Review: For those interested in learning about the sculptor (teacher) who carved out the incredible Rumi - Rumi's Sun: The Teachings of Shams is a fascinating account of Rumi's own guru and teacher named Shams. It is said that all of Rumi's poetry was written for Shams, who Rumi was completely devoted to. This read, however, is not about Shams relationship with Rumi, but Shams teachings, which are of course reflective of the tradition of Sufism and the Muslim tradition. Shams was a devout Muslim. additionally, like all Sufis, his spiritual path was grounded in Islam, particularly in the Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad's teachings. Sufism is not separate from Islam but is considered its inward, mystical dimension. So Shams was a Sufi master (often referred to as a dervish) whose radical and ecstatic teachings challenged conventional religious norms of his time. His way of teaching emphasized direct experience of God (the Divine Beloved). Shams was a Muslim mystic—a practicing Sufi within Islam, but one whose unconventional style made him controversial and deeply revered in equal measure. For readers without previous knowledge of Shams, Sufism or the Mulsim tradition, this read may feel like a radical departure from other traditions like Hindu, Christianity and Buddhism. Shams' ways of teaching would potentially put him in jail in our modern day Western world, so a modicum of open-mindedness is needed here. While Rumi was in all accounts a romantic, Shams is more of a Crazy Wisdom teacher, at times it seems intolerant of human ignorance and our reckless untamed mind. His methods were as fierce as his own devotion to the Divine, and he writes as one experiencing awareness or non-duality as an established state of the mind-body complex. The teachings are reflective of other nondual teachings, and there is a strong thread inspiring devotional practices throughout. For those interested in learning about the sculptor who carved out the incredible Rumi who gave the world a flavor of the divine grounded in devotion and romance, this is a fantastic, provocative, and spiritually mind-bending read. 5 stars. Review: Great translation - Rumi's poetry is always inspiring and picks you up after a bad day, or when you're feeling a bit spiritually lost. This book is one of my favorites. Tons of poetry and beautifully translated. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #857,745 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #231 in Sufism (Books) #1,538 in Mysticism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 110 Reviews | ## Images ![Rumi's Sun: The Teachings of Shams of Tabriz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gfT4d6JSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For those interested in learning about the sculptor (teacher) who carved out the incredible Rumi *by C***R on May 13, 2025* Rumi's Sun: The Teachings of Shams is a fascinating account of Rumi's own guru and teacher named Shams.
