There are a number of reasons why Khalil Gibran appeals to people from all walks of life. He was born a Maronite, but was drawn to the philosophy of Islam, Christianity and other religions too. In particular, Sufi philosophy held a great influence over him and it will be appropriate to even class him as a Sufi. Like Rumi, he discovered the essence of all religions in that he expounded the beauty of love of God by stressing upon the essential unity of the soul with God. We may not need to listen to no more upon his deep spiritual understanding than in understanding of what he spoke of Love.
In this second episode, I recite Gibran's philosophy on love.
