Little Book Of Life is a collection of 196 poems by Rumi, a 13th-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic. The poems focus on dealing with the inner life and on the inner journey each person makes. The book presents the collection as a guide and companion for those who enter the inner world to explore gardens within, beyond the everyday world of dust. It is divided into soul, heart and spirit, and its poems range from playful and pastoral to metaphysical poetry and paeans to love, locating Rumi's God within the soul rather than in a mosque or temple.
