This book offers a paradigm shift and fresh interpretation of Rumi's message. After being disentangled from the anachronistic connection with the Mevlevi order of Islamic Sufism, Rumi is instead placed in the world of philosophy. A pyramidal model is proposed for the structure of his philosophy in which he covers the range of topics from the basics of human existence to the principle of an immutable truth beyond time and space. By taking a more inclusive look at thousands of verses from sources including Rumi's Divan and Masnavi, Sultan Valad's poetry, and the Maqalat (Discourses of Shams), a much broader picture of Rumi as a practical and sober philosopher begins to emerge. In his practical philosophy, Rumi proposed contemplation on non-self, namelessness, placelessness, timelessness; silence; the practice of dance and music; and using visualization techniques. These practices as described in Rumi's writings at the same time reveal elements in common between his ideas and those of advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, and Kashmir Shaivism. This study aims to expand the perception of Rumi, placing him at the level of 'intercultural philosopher' and universal thinker outside of any religious tradition.
