What Does Yunus Emre Tell Us?

Abstract

Having lived 750 years ago, does Yunus Emre have anything to say to the people of today? Were his poems addressed only to the age he lived in, or were they universal? The answer to such questions is "yes". And here is the reason for that: Yunus and his contemporaries speak directly to human beings, touch their hearts and souls and especially address their inner world.
