Inspirational Literature Passage Sacred World - HOME Inspirational Literature Passage Sacred World The Soul in Love: Classic Poems of Ecstasy and Exaltation by Deepak Chopra, No love is more consuming and passionate than that one has for God. And nothing is more beautiful than that love when it is expressed as poetry. In The Soul in Love, Deepak Chopra presents us with five great writers whose lives span seven centuries: Rumi, the sublime Persian poet who sang out his verses in ecstatic longing for God. Mirabai, an Indian princess who walked away from her life of privilege to be closer ... gives us a rapturous experience of human passion, inspired by the soul's yearning for the sacred source of love. "Immortal love doesn't need poetry. However, it is our good fortune that some of the God-intoxicated have written words that permit access into their ecstatic world. Particularly in the East, in that exotically woven belt of lands that stretches from Arabia to the Indian subcontinent, poets and saints are never far apart. In this collection I have gathered a few of the most revered, beginning in the medieval period and extending ...
