The last veil was lifted for Rumi after he met Shems of Tebriz. In the period of time after this meeting, Rumi recited the 44,800 verses of the Divan-i Kebir, and his followers recorded them. In these verses, Rumi uses earthy imagery to convey his love of God and the need for humans to pursue the Beloved. With its passion and simplicity, the Divan-i Kebir crosses the boundaries of race, religion, and culture to touch every heart who opens its pages.
