Daniel Ladinsky has published three volumes of translations of the
poetry of the great Persian Sufi Hafiz: The Gift, The Subject Tonight
Is Love, and I Heard God Laughing. He is an audacious talent with a
big heart, a keen sense of humor, and a creative way of looking at things.
For Sufis, love is the key to playing out our lives in the right chord
Daniel Ladinsky is an acclaimed translator of mystical poetry. For
six years, he made his home in a spiritual community in western India,
where he worked and lived with the intimate disciples and family of
Avatar Meher Baba. This is his fourth volume of Hafiz poetry in translation.

FILM Andrew
Harvey sees Rumi as a doctor of souls capable of helping
us cultivate heart, passion, and personal transformation. Rumi was once
asked "What is a Sufi?,"
and he replied, "A Sufi is a man or woman with a broken heart." Meaning,
we must be sensitive to the heartbreak of the world. This is a sign of
our Divine origin.
"Soul, if you want to learn secrets Your heart must
forget about shame and dignity. You are God's lover, yet you worry what
people are saying." Rumi
