Rumi: The Poet of Poets

In this episode, M.O.N.K. takes a deep dive into the works of Rumi!

Rumi (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic originally from Greater Khorasan in Greater Iran. Rumi's influence transcends national borders and ethnic divisions: Iranians, Tajiks, Turks, Greeks, Pashtuns, other Central Asian Muslims, and the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent have greatly appreciated his spiritual legacy for the past seven centuries. His poems have been widely translated into many of the world's languages and transposed into various formats. Rumi has been described as the "most popular poet"and the "best selling poet" in the United States.

So sit back, relax and enjoy as we read some of his mind-blowing lines. Pay special attention to the themes that God is in your midst and you are the vessel through which the divine wishes to express itself.
