Rumi: His Teaching and Philosophy
In the history of mankind many luminous stars have embellished the spiritual firmament one among them has been Jalaluddin Rumi, commonly known as Maulana Rumi or Maulavi Rumi, the greatest mystical poet of Persian literature, whose eight-hundredth birth anniversary falls on the 30th September, 2007.
Maulana Rumi heralded the cause of Sufism at a time when the Mongol hordes had wreaked havoc in Asia and people were groping in the dark and striving arduously in search of the Truth and its realization. Consequences arrived at by him, and the findings made by him, were based more on his personal experiments rather than on theoratical knowledge in the field of realization. He took the religious scriptures as his base and main prop and, at the same time , relied on the findings of earlier spiritual preceptors of the East as well as of the West. After his meeting with Shamsuddin Tabrizi, he experienced ecstasy and complete inward transformatiopn. His personal experiences of this truth inspired the great mystical revival in Iran and the Anatolian Peninsula. He was acclaimed as the resuscitator of the dormant Divinity of man by erealizing which humanity throughout the world could be brought into the orbit of one family of God. He delivered a message of hope, love, faith, brotherhood, fellowship, amity, understanding, peace and charity throughout the world.
The message of Maulana Rumi, delivered over seven hundred years ago, is quite relevant today when mankind, in the vastly changed scenario, is still striving to find common grounds of meeting. The essence of all major religions is to reach God, or the Truth, or the Absolute Reality. All the religions are like different rivers flowing into the same Sea. They may have different ways, but their destination is the same. In this context, Maulana Rumi's message is still extremely relevant as it can feed a dearth of spiritualism at present experienced by mankind.
Besides bringing Maulana Rumi's love of humanity, spirituality and philosophy to the thirstier people, the object in publishing this book is also to pay my humble tribute to this greatest mystical poet of Islam on his eight-hundredth birth anniversary whose love of God and humanity has been a source of great strength, happiness and satisfaction to me. In his quintessential saying I have always found a healing touch and refreshment upon mind and spirit. I can only hope that this book will enable many others to derive the same benefits.
Hama düst, "all are friends" is the necessary consequence of Hama Ü-st, "all is He."
