Begun in 1262 AD, Masnavi-ye Ma ‘navi, or ‘spiritual couplets', is thought to be the longest single-authored ‘mystical’ poem ever written. As the spiritual masterpiece of the Persian Sufi tradition, it teaches how to progress to the ultimate goal of the Sufi path - union with God. Jalaloddin Rumi was a poet and a mystic, but he was first a teacher; in these verses he draws the reader into the complexities of human love and separation and explains the path to divine love through the elimination of self-regard and worldly desires. Drawing on diverse sources from bawdy tales and fables to stories of the prophet Mohammed, these verses are brief in expression yet copious in meaning.

Sheikh Farid has penned down his vast experience, which he had encountered during his life long search for the spiritual bliss and a deep rooted desire to meet God face to face. In Saloka 90, he writes. “Farida, your body has dried up and has become a skeleton and the crows find it a potential food source and peck at the palms. Look at the fate of this humble person, even now there is no indication of an approach by God”. Here are a few lessons to be learnt from the (Verses) Kalam / Bani of Sheikh Farid in Guru Garanth Sahib: Go to Church or temple or Masjid or Synagogue of your faith as per the practice established by your elders. There you come in contact with persons of your views and concepts and your faith is enhanced. (Shaloka 70 of Sheikh Farid) Do your prayers as dictated by your religion, as best as you can, it will add up to your spiritual belief in God and will give you confidence. (Shaloka 71st of Sheikh Farid) Pay full attention to the voice of your conscience, which your spiritual leaning keeps it vibrating.( Shaloka 39th of Sheikh Farid) Do not criticize others method of spiritual belief and rituals. It is the voice of your ego which induces you to down size others, better search your conscience. (Shaloka 6th of Sheikh Farid) Do not be a hypocrite, the death equalizes everyone at the end.

(Salok 78 of Sheikh Farid) All the Salokas of Sheikh Farid depict his state of mind and his eagerness and his whole hearted devotion to God of his faith. He reacted strongly to the cunning and the hypocrite world around him. When he was still young he got so much upset with his surroundings which distracted his concentration of mind on God, that one day he gave up. (Shaloka 2,3 of Sheikh Farid), He said , going door to door to beg for food is so degrading, let me go somewhere, away from the wicked ways of the world. In such a disgusting mood, he folds into a bundle, his essential belongings of daily use, picks up the bundle to go away somewhere. Then he said to himself, where shouId I go? He said, “I am confused, I am not able to find a way out and I cannot think of what to do. The working system of this world is hypocrite people talk nicely on the face but they are indifferent inside”. Then the wisdom comes to him and he drops the idea of going away and he says: My God has done a great favor to me to give me wisdom, otherwise if I had wandered about, I would have suffered and would have been torn to pieces. There are 130 shalokas (Verses) of Sheikh Farid Ji, enshrined in Guru Garanth Sahib, from Page 1377 to Page 1384. With-in these 130 shalokas, there are few shalokas enjoined by Guru Amar Das Ji and some of the shalokas by Guru Arjun Dev Ji, to supplement the thoughts of Sheikh Farid Ji.

Expanding the Canon of Early Modern Women’s Writing by Paul Salzman Pdf
This exciting collection of original essays on early modern women’s writing offers a range of approaches to a growing field. As a whole, the volume introduces readers to a number of writers, such as Mirabai and Liu Rushi, who are virtually invisible in Anglophone scholarship, and to writers who remain little known, such as Elizabeth Melville, Elizabeth Hatton, and Jane Sharpe. The volume also represents critical strategies designed to open up the emergent canon of early modern women’s writing to new approaches, especially those that have consolidated the integration of literary and intellectual history, with an emphasis on religion, legal issues, and questions of genre. The authors expand the methodological possibilities available to approach early modern women who wrote in a diverse number of genres, from letters to poetry, autobiography and prose fiction. The sixteen essays are a major contribution to an area that has attracted the interest of a number of fields, including literary studies, history, cultural studies, and women’s studies.
The Oxford Handbook of Mary offers an interdisciplinary guide to Marian Studies, including chapters on textual, literary, and media analysis; theology; Church history; art history; studies on devotion in a variety of forms; cultural history; folk tradition; gender analysis; apparitions and apocalypticism. Featuring contributions from a distinguished group of international scholars, the Handbook looks at both Eastern and Western perspectives and attempts to correct imbalance in previous books on Mary towards the West. The volume also considers Mary in Islam and pilgrimages shared by Christian, Muslim, and Jewish adherents. While Mary can be a source of theological disagreement, this authoritative collection shows Mary's rich potential for inter-faith and inter-denominational dialogue and shared experience. It covers a diverse number of topics that show how Mary and Mariology are articulated within ecclesiastical contexts but also on their margins in popular devotion. Newly-commissioned essays describe some of the central ideas of Christian Marian thought, while also challenging popularly-held notions. This invaluable reference for students and scholars illustrates the current state of play in Marian Studies as it is done across the world.
