  Story 1: The Prophet and his Infidel Guest
  Story 2: The Arab and his Dog
  Story 3: The Sage and the Peacock
  Story 4: Muhammad Khwarazm Shah and the Rafizis of Sabzawar
  Story 5: The Man who claimed to be a Prophet
  Story 6: The Disciple who blindly imitated his Shaikh
  Story 7: How Adam was created out of a handful of earth brought by an Angel
  Story 8: Mahmud and Ayaz
  Story 9: The sincere repentance of Nasuh
  Story 10: Lion, the Fox, and the Ass
  Story 11: The Mosalman who tried to convert a Magian
  Story 12: The Devotee who broke the noble`s wine-jar..
  
  The Masnavi is divided into six books, and Rumi wrote prefaces for each book. The earliestcomplete manuscript (the Konya manuscript) was completed in December, 1278 (five years after Rumi`s death).
  
  ? Books 1 and 2: They ?are principally concerned with the nafs, the lower carnal self, and its self-deception and evil tendencies.
  
  ? Books 3 and 4: These books share the principal themes of Reason and Knowledge. These two themes are personified by Rumi in the Biblical and Quranic figure of the Prophet Moses.
  
  ? Books 5 and 6: These last two books are joined by the universal ideal that man must deny his physical earthly existence to understand God's existence.
