DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

DIFFERENT  POETS

3 September, 1928

On the evening of 3 September, there was a discussion about poets and Baba remarked:

Persian poets are the best, followed by the Urdu ones and then the Marathi poets. In English, only Wordsworth and Shelley are of that caliber. Hafiz's poems are truly the most inspiring and revealing. Rumi's and Shams' are philosophical, but they are filled with beauty and truth.
