Hakim Sana'i, the first major Sufi poet to express the message of the radical spiritual revolution that would be carried on later by such voices as Attar, Rumi, and Hafiz, delivers the punchy nectar of divine intoxication that comes of annihilating the ego. Even a few bullets from this ecstatic shotgun of Truth can do the job on any ego who listens. Learn More About Shunyamurti: https://shunyamurti.org/

PODCAST #14: INTERVIEWING SUFI POET RUMI by Martin Bidney Intro: Rumi = Pre-eminent Sufi Mystic Poet, thirteenth century. I translate him from Tholuck's German, and I interview him, offering verse replies. Dialogue 49 = Inclusion: all religions are one. Dialogue 46 = Inclusion: all spirits are one. I Rumi teaches through Surprise. Dialogue 53. The saint turns hell to heaven, as Milton's Satan did in Paradise Lost. Both of these reside within the human spirit. “The mind is its own place, and of itself / Can make heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n. Dialogue 42. Forgiveness is an original ACTION, not a mere re-action. Ali shows that, contra Newton, every action does not have an equal and opposite reaction / retaliation. See Qur'an 42:43. “And verily whoso is patient and forgiveth – lo! that, verily is (of) the stedfast heart of things.” Dialogue 40 shows, via Rumi's poem, the Chinese mural painting less perfect than the Byzantine mirror that makes it clearer through purity of heart. But in my Reply I add that a painting = mirror of the Creativity of the Creator. Dialogue 68 = “Golden Mean” ethical model of Aristotle vs. immeasurable Height-and-depth. Spokesman for height-and-depth, though, is deemed weak in character by his Sufi hearers. Balance – or Exploration? II Freedom through the Holiness of Nature – and Beyond. Dialogue 65, about Ibrahim Ibn Adhàm viewed as like St. Francis or Buddha, attuned to Nature. Dialogue 66 shows Ibn Adhàm with a parable of twig and orchard relating to the springtime fragrance of the magic shirt of Joseph. Compare to Dialogue 67 = Symposium of Senses, holiness of Nature. Cf. Ibn Arabi: one person praying = Complete Congregation of Organs and Thoughts.

From East to West, Rumi is one of the most universally respected poets of all time. A 13th Century Islamic scholar, his encounter with a wandering dervish transformed him into a globally celebrated mystic and poet of love who has crossed borders of time, faith, language and geography.

Ever since their composition in the 13th century the poems of the Persian writer Rumi have enthralled millions of readers around the world. In Rumi’s Secret: The Life of the Sufi Poet of Love (Harper, 2017), Brad Gooch describes the life of their author and the path that took him from scholarship to poetry. The son of a scholar and cleric, Rumi traveled extensively as a child and enjoyed a wide-ranging education that prepared him for a life as a teacher and jurist. His meeting with the traveling mystic Shams of Tabriz transformed Rumi’s life, as he soon abandoned his education and responsibilities in favor of immersion into a life of aestheticism. As Gooch explains, it was this relationship which sparked Rumi’s development into the poet he became, as his deep and passionate relationship with Shams created a wellspring of emotions that were subsequently embodied in some of the most enduring verses ever written.

Brad Gooch returns to the show to talk about his new book, Rumi's Secret: The Life of the Sufi Poet of Love (Harper). We dive right into Brad's Orientalist fantasy of researching Rumi and the realpolitik that intruded on it (including getting detained at gunpoint), how he recreated the polyglot, multi-religious culture of 13th century Turkey (hint: it involved having to learn Farsi), the temptation to psychologize Rumi's life, why the poet's work has survived all these centuries (and what makes it so tweetable), what his own new fatherhood taught him about Rumi's later years, and more! • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal
