Hi Sue
How are you these days?
When I put my letter to T on the website you put a comment for T and me in which you said that you wanted to read the Masnavi with us.
What do you think about this book?
Is it a good idea for my language and my spirit?
I have not read the Masnavi before but, I know it. I heard from T that you study it.
I think reading the Masnavi in Persian is better than reading it in English but, because I want to learn English I should read it in English.
T is a very good teacher and I think our class is one of the best classes in Iran!
He is a good man and I like him more than a teacher
I wish you the best.

Dear Sabber, You are right, T is a very good man. Rumi has a question, "Where can you find a principled man?" My answer is Alireza Taghdarreh.
I have only studied part of the Masnavi, but I am a great devotee of Rumi. I want to read the Masnavi now because it has many profound lessons. I find that even though I am not Muslim I see truth in it and it enlarges my spirit.
I also get that joy from Thoreau, Dickinson and other writers. I think that all Iranians should read and understand Rumi - he speaks the best from your past. An American writer once said that we all have to take a return journey to the past, before we can go confidently into the future.
I believe this is true.
I also wish you the best, Sue
P.S. Your letter was a pleasure to read. No American or Englishman could have written a better letter.
