71 Discourses of Mevlana Rumi

Fihi Ma Fihi is the most famous prose work of Rumi. It's a collection of 71 discourses on various topics directly connected to everyday life. The title of the book means 'In It What Is In It or 'It Is What It Is'.

Rūmi explains the important principles of Sufism in transparent terms in this book, and provides explanations and keys to unlock the meaning of the Mathnawi, Rumi's most famous work. The two works were written parallel to each other, and contain many references and stories that are continued from one to the other.
