Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi (1207-1273) is one of the most beloved poets in human history. Born in what is now Afghanistan, he lived most of his life in Konya, Turkey, where he became a respected Islamic scholar. But it was a transformative friendship with the wandering mystic Shams of Tabriz that awakened the poet within him.

When Shams mysteriously disappeared, Rumi's grief became the crucible for some of the most profound love poetry ever written. His longing for his friend became indistinguishable from longing for the Divine. In this alchemy of loss and love, Rumi discovered that the wound is indeed where the light enters.

Rumi's poetry speaks to the heart directly, bypassing the defenses of the intellect. He writes of lovers, wine, and dance—but these are metaphors for the soul's journey toward union with the Beloved, the Divine presence that permeates all existence. His work transcends religious boundaries; he is claimed by Sufis, Muslims, Christians, seekers, and lovers of beauty worldwide.

Central to Rumi's teaching is the primacy of love. Love is not merely an emotion but the fundamental force of the universe, the bridge between the human and divine. The path to God is not through rigid doctrine but through opening the heart, surrendering the ego, and allowing oneself to be transformed by love's fire.
