Mawlana Jalal-ud-Din Rumi - August 2008

Mawlana Jalal-ud-Din Rumi (1207 – 1273)

The name Mawlana Jalal-ud-Din Rumi stands for love and ecstatic flight into the infinite. He is one of the greatest spiritual and literary figures of all time and was the founder of the Mawlawi Sufi order.

The prominent Persian Islamic Saint, language poet, thinker, humanist, and theologian and spiritual master Mawlana Jalal-ud-Din Rumi was born in Balkh-Rumi, presently in Afghanistan on the 30th of September 1207 to a family of learned theologians. He remains one of the greatest comprehensive thinkers and scholars of civilisation. He addressed humanity as a whole saying: “I do not distinguish between the relative and the stranger.”


“In generosity and helping others be like a river
In compassion and grace be like the sun
In concealing other’s faults be like the night
In anger and fury be like the earth
In tolerance be like the sea
Either exist as you are, or, be as you look”

 

Mawlana Jalal-ud-Din Rumi (1207 - 1273)

My answer to you will be given in my usual common-sense style. This is because to me, the energy that flows between, and unites the two-worlds, is a natural force, one that has worked in unison with mankind since the dawn of time.
