His poems make a convincing argument for the central role of love, not only in Islamic texts and traditions, but in the consciousness of the human
race. Rumi found in mystical poetry a vehicle for the expression of the
endless spiritual bounties of love.

علوانا صفوانا للالا
ومن لظى كمن لا الفؤاد منا للا
نعو إلى صفو الرق بمِلس
وربنا الكأس الو على الولا
رقا رقا صافا ملأ الأيا
فلوا بها وما وما على الملا
شرابا إذا ما نشر الرطبها
ن إلها الوشمنا نبا الفلا
وابا المرة فوه العشرة
بم فالق أكمل رسم ألا
ابعسكر الرأس كر لقا

poetry, especially the work of al-Mutanabi, at an early age and
improved his knowledge when he was student in Syria

On the seeker’s path, wise men/fools are one.
In his love, brothers and strangers are one.
Go on! Drink the wine of the Beloved!
In that faith, Muslims and pagans are one.

If you’re in love, join the congregation!
If you still have a mind, then stay away.
If you’re pressed at home and parched by fi re,
I’ll take you to a secret stream I know.
You can drink, satisfy your desire—
and, if your eyes can’t see what’s hidden there,
just bring your thirst to serve our Messiah

Can I repent the sin of love this true?
He says you’re an idol that I worship,
can’t see the fox piss on my graven god.
Nasir al-Din!41 He’s the king of virtues!
No foxes, only rabbits piss on love

For Rumi, there is no access to God except through this intoxica
tion of love. He rejects the criticism that he has thereby made Shams
an idol. Th ere is a traditional Islamic story that tells of the early con
version of a pagan tribesman of Arabia, who later became a renowned
Muslim scholar

Moreover, this reality can be understood to be either the
Divine Essence—God, Allah, etc., who is infi nite, unknowable, and
utterly beyond human comprehension—or the manifestations of
that essence in the world of creation, ultimately embodied in human
form. It is the latter aspect of the Divine that Rumi approaches in
his poems. Shams-e Tabrizi becomes the numinous.

Rumi draws these insights from his interpretation of Islam. He
finds in Islam a monism (or more accurately, a kind of nondual
ism) that allows no separation between a transcendent God and
the manifestation of God’s love in every aspect of creation, in all
forms of beauty, and in every man and woman. Th ere is only one
true reality
