Saberse solos en el mundo es un comienzo. Saberse exiliados es un paso mas profundo. Guiarse a través de las sombras de los tiempos por la poesía, es cruzar el laberinto en un silencio que fructifica espiritualidad y humanidad por igual. Gracias Leili Anvar.

Greetings. I think the most important message in rumis mysticism is that every person has a shams within himself that must meet and in the beginning rumi was separated from the shams and at the end rumis existence was completely immersed in the shams.🙏🌹

As a Persian, witnessing the misrepresentation of Persian poets like Rumi in English or French translations can be distressing. To truly appreciate Rumi's poetry, Western readers should immerse themselves in Persian interpretations and leverage AI translation tools, which can reveal the subtle meanings often lost in English translations. My strategy includes using AI to accurately translate Persian poetry, thereby preserving its genuine essence. I recommend choosing a book that provides interpretations of Rumi's poems in Persian and then using AI tools like GPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc., to interpret it. This approach will enhance your understanding of the poems' real message. It's important to note that English translations, particularly those by Western translators, frequently differ greatly from the original texts, with translators often modifying the content as though they are crafting new works inspired by the Persian poet.

He was born in modern day Afganistan then Persia. Moved to modern day Turkey Konya (central Turkey) with his wife and kid to get away from the Mongols. Konya is a city south of Ankara in Turkey’s Central Anatolia region. It’s a pilgrimage destination for Sufis, focused on the tomb of the founder of the Mevlana order, Jelaleddin Rumi, in the Mevlana Museum. Sema whirling dervish ceremonies take place at the Mevlana Cultural Center, east of the museum. I visited there when I was young with my mum and dad. He was a positive peaceful influence to Turks. I don't believe in religions but I find Ottoman Sufi flute music (ney) soothing.

Rumi speaks of separation from God. He mentions listening to the flute reed. This is one of the sounds audible in meditation, just as light is percieved. Neither are present physically but are more real than the physical . True spiritual masters connect their desciple to this. Absorption into them leads us back home, hence endind our exile in this world. The Light and Sound are perception of the Word of God, Logos. Called Shabd in Sikhism Naad in Hindu. All scripture mention this creative power of God, which also the way back to God.

First of all: Rumi was muslim, a famous Muslim scholar. So his Religion was not love, but islam. Secondly you dont need to know persian language to understand his poets. His poets are written based on the language of the heart (love). Just find a good translation: and you will understand by your heart (love) Thirdly: the song of the reed is about being separated from his original realm. That he names the Beloved; and his beloved is very clearly; just read his book the masnavi; ALLAH! He is writing about being separeted from Allah, and sees the body as a prison where his soul is being locked up, untill he dies and his soul is freed and United with the beloved/Allah. So if he writes about Love; it is the love for Allah. If you want to read Masnavi: 5 books; buy the translation of Jawid Mojaddadi

Firstly on language, you clearly are not a Persian speaker, otherwise you would understand how much of the poetry is lost through the translation. Secondly, yes he was born a Muslim, just as I was. But through his poetry, he attacks and often condemns every pillar of Islam. On Hajj for example, he calls those who go on the Hajj pilgrimage as "Khaneh Parast" or House worshipers & ask them why they are worshiping sand and stone. (Kay Khaneh parastan che parastid Gel o Sang...) On love, yes Rumi talks about nothing but love. Unfortunately ALLAH talks about everything but love. Read the Quran; the word love is NOT mentioned even once.

@@farzinkhavand I understand his works very good, as i studied it for years. He never attacked islam. The masnavi (his masterpiece) is full of islam and references to koran (full, full and again full). And he was a devout muslim and follower of the prophet muhammad saw, untill he died. Do your research! What he clearly means; regarding the Kaaba, is not to criticize the kaaba or the hadj. Offcourse not. He explains this in several poems; that the place where you can find Allah, is not the Kaaba, mount Hira or the mosque, but you can find Allah in your heart! Thats his point; completely in line with islam and koran! The reason you see no love in the koran, is because you dont have love in you. This is rule number 1 of Shamsi Tabriz (out of the 40 rules). Its your reflection on the koran thats the issue; not the koran.

First of all everyone should know that Persia was a big empire which has formed from the countries which we know them today by the names of Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan and a part of Uzbekistan. When we say that Rumi was from Persia it doesn’t mean that he was from Iran! Because a lot of people think that Persia is equal to Iran which is not. The land and exact place which Rumi has born calls Balkh which is a province of Afghanistan right now. Right now we can not say that Rumi was from Iran or neither from Afghanistan. He was from an empire land which is called Persia which it doesn’t exists now and divided in many other countries.

At first, I thought I was not hearing correctly. But then I went back and heard that yes, she is misreading the most well known part of *The Masnavi.* I also watched an interview that she did in Tehran (Bukhara Magazine). Towards the end, she referred to Ferdowsi, saying that Ferdowsi speaks negatively about the rulership of the Sassanian women rulers. This is inaccurate. I would suggest consulting volume 8 of *The Shahnameh* on Azarmidokht and Pourandokht.
