Rumi, The Great Poet, Teaches Us About Self-Love and Other Precious Gifts of Love

We all need more love, for love is a magical, transforming power. When we let it into our hearts, our entire world shifts. Nothing else truly matters except the way we give and receive love.
The 13th-century Persian poet, Jalal-ud-Din Rumi has been characterized as one of the unsurpassable mystic poets of mankind. His work, written in the Sufi tradition, is an exploration into the meaning and miracles of love. Rumi’s writings have been translated into many languages; he is now one of the most universally read spiritual writers of our time.
Love has ever delighted and perplexed, inspired, and confounded. We want to visit love from every imaginable angle. How this celebrated and mysterious emotion has been and ever will be, is the one enduring obsession of humankind.
Love has the ability to teach us things that the most extravagant and respected university could never do; it is love that gives merit to all things. At some point, a magical person will step into our lives. Coming from an ordinary place, seemingly for no reason, an individual appears whose fascination with life is so gorgeous and rare, so unpredictable and spiritual that, without any exertion at all, we are enchanted with their miraculous gift for living. Rumi is one of those people.
Many scholars have been studying Rumi’s work for the past several decades. Rumi’s life was a vision of electric ecstasy; his writings take us on a mystical journey to a foundation of love via divine philosophy. His treatises on love cultivate an essential importance, which brings awareness to the substantial spiritual transformation that is taking place in our contemporary culture. Rumi’s poetry brings us face to face with a unique understanding of the profound relationship between revelation, ecstasy, adoration, love, and suffering; and our authentic growth as spiritual beings.
Rumi is the kind of poet whose work exemplifies that energy of mysterious passion that all seekers wish to experience for themselves. The work shows us how to fuse our sacred spirit with love so we can discover the limitless potential that we will need to continually nourish our souls.
Rumi’s poems radiate with love, light and contentment. They help cultivate and foster our inner passion; his beautiful messages penetrate to the very depths of our being; his wisdom reassuringly plants the seeds of self-love.
Self-love and self-care are not the same as selfishness. When we are being the love of our own life, when we stop seeking it outside, then we are on the easiest road. An act of loving ourselves like nothing else is the best kind of investment. If we truly desire “big love” in our lives, we must love ourselves first. This is the ultimate reward of love.
Rumi’s sacred stories and poems refer to the forging of our self-loving emotions, which reflect our fiery imagination. They bring us into a life that that is rooted in our very essence. We learn to enrich our ability to see the deep, rich allegory behind our every living encounter. We want to explore various ways in which we might uncover the depths of our own humanness. We develop a desire to spread love through teaching and mentorship.
Rumi’s books provide us with a unique and exciting opportunity to study along with this world-renowned teacher. Rumi’s poetry shows us how to examine our own creative processes. We are encouraged to discover the intersections, overlaps, and connections between self-love and poetry; and to think about the challenges and rewards of adapting his interdisciplinary wisdom into our everyday lives.
Rumi teaches us about love: all the precious gifts of love. Not love which strives for some possession, for particular qualities, for a goal, or a reason, but the kind of love which one experiences when they are able to forgive an enemy. It resonates like a vibration at the very core of the spirit and does not require a symbol. It is a sense of peace; to love a bystander, to love a stranger, to love an adversary, to adore everything we are capable of knowing, in all manifestations; to understand someone’s feelings, sufferings, cruelty, disgrace, and anguish – is the spell of divine love.
