In European tradition, «Book of words» belongs to the genre of aphorisms and maxims. In fact, it is confession – extremely deep and responsible genre, which requires integrity and sincerity from the writer, in other way, we are facing with “nakedness of soul” of man, poet and philosopher. As well as it means something significant, important and paramount in the Turkic tradition. «Book of words» it is also direct appeal to the readers, like conversation and open talk, unique work «of observation of the cold mind and sorrowful heart markings» and philosophy of life of individual on the background of destiny. Forty five «Words of edification» and Swami’s eight volumes book were the philosophical reflection of the poets. About life problems and deeply sad «face to face» conversation with their audience. Finally, they explain their decision to write down «own thoughts»: Paper and ink from now on will be my consolation. Maybe someone would like some of our word and he would rewrite it for himself or just remember. If not, then our words, as it says, would stay with us.
