There are many books on Rumi and many translations of his works
and yet most readers are unaware of how Rumi became a mystic.
Shams, an Arabic word that means the sun, was the catalyst that
converted the rather resolute and ascetic Rumi, the cleric and
teacher, into Rumi, the passionate disciple of the religion of
love. He was the agent of the propulsive mystical energy that
transformed Rumi the reticent into Rumi the ecstatic poet.
