Rumi, born in Balkh, which was part of the Persian empire, was born on September 20, 1207. His two masterpieces are Divan-i Shams-i Tabrizi and the Mathnawi-yi-manawi (Spiritual Couplets). Rumi's writings may be enjoyed by everyone. We still yearn for the same spiritual balance that Rumi spoke about; we still ask the same questions about the meaning of life and death that Rumi addressed.
