Mevlana's writings are valuable for all ages, all times and all cultures.
The skill with which Mevlana has outlined the condition of human ignorance and the remedy for it, is of a divine order. The Mathnavi especially was composed while whirling (i.e. in the sema), written down by his close devotees. He clearly describes the condition in which we live our lives, ignorant of our true origin.

The Mathnavi acts is a mirror to our soul. This requires us to learn more about our daily attitude or state of mind. By a daily reading, the mind penetrates deeper into the philosophy of Mevlana.

The Saraswati Society is supporting the Sufi teaching by studying the ancient tradition which existed before Mevlana's time. The ancient tradition is that from which Mevlana clearly drew the inspiration given to him orally.
