Rumi a poet with much wisdom
"A small spark can light a flame"
Obviously when we begin to have use of reason the world seems fascinating to us wherever you look at it, but there will always be certain paths in the form of people or experiences that inspire us and they are the ones that we will follow even more, many times we focus so much on this that we leave aside the rest of the world limiting us, limiting our life to knowing beyond the world, as I have said in certain publications the ocean is immense and we only have the knowledge of small drops, therefore even if we identify with certain aspects we open our minds , our conscience, our spirituality and our criteria to know beyond what we think exists, we live in a supremely modern world, although many times we are consumed by egotistical thoughts that make us think that we are unique when life includes a past, a future and the present, it is consistent and well known that we are the present, that the future is uncertain but the past is vast, it is there to Let us delve into him and the various ideas of people who in one way or another set a precedent as the protagonist of today's article.
Rumi, a man from centuries ago who with his irreverent ideals, thoughts and philosophy of life has managed to cross the barrier of the years and still be present in the mind, heart and in the daily life of those who identify with his forms and style of life, now this man is a poet with an innate mysticism, from Persia or Muslim, it should be noted that his original name or one imposed by his parents was obviously not Rumi, it was Jalal al-Din Rumi, this specifically had its origin because Although he was born in Balkh, he moved to Iconium, a Turkish city that is currently called Konya, there he made the radical decision to change his name to Rumi in honor of the sultan Alaudin, better known as Rumi, in this city he managed to complete his studies in literature, that is Of course he was a very spiritual man, he was even more so when he met Shamsuddín, a teacher and spiritual guide who also urged him to become a teacher. After that, this man founded the Sufi order of the mewlevís, which basically is walking through life, in its processes and stages with love as a basis from oneself to God or the superior force that always guides us.
It is evident that because he is a man whose history is very old, few data are known about him, let us remember that at that time there were not so many means to safeguard history for the future, many did it through letters that unfortunately have deteriorated taking with them valuable knowledge and information, but although there are very few details about this teacher of life, what we cannot deny is that to get to know him more thoroughly, it is enough to embark on a reading journey through the wisdom of his words embodied in various poems since although fragments of his life were not recovered, many poems were collected in several volumes that today are culture, especially in eastern countries such as the country of origin of this gentleman, who keep his writings alive day by day because they are read to many children in their training so that they grow with other perspectives of life, especially being more spiritual people since it is one of the great objectives of this character, that we all knew that love is the master key that opens people's hearts and can lead us to God and another level of consciousness.
Basically Rumi was a high visionary being even in times so outdated in many thoughts, ideologies, beliefs and customs since he was clear that what the world lacked was love, peace, communication, empathy, tolerance, generosity, understanding, inclusion. , freedom of expression and equality the world should be a place where all of us, even with differences, know how to respect each other below I will leave you with a fragment of the writings of this man that may be useful for reflection:
Not Christian, or Jew, or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufist, or Zen. Not one religion or cultural system. I am not from the East or the West, I am not from the ocean or above the earth, not natural, or ethereal, not composed of any one element. I do not exist, I am not an entity of this world or the other, I did not descend from Adam or Eve or any origin of history. My place is without a place, or a trace without a trace. Neither soul nor body. I belong to the beloved, I have seen the two worlds as one. One I know, one I see, one I seek, one I call, first, last, external, internal, only that human being who takes breath to breathe.
Thank you for reading!
