INTRODUCTION
Sufism and the encounters that Sufism facilitates --encounters with God, love, and the deepest aspects of human consciousness-- have evoked feelings in Sufis that have poured out through their ravaged hearts onto their lucid tongues, providing us with some of the most beautiful and profound poetry ever written.

MEETING WITH SHAMS OF TABRIZ
It was his meeting with the dervish Shams-e Tabrizi on 15 November 1244 that completely changed his life. From an accomplished teacher and jurist, Rumi was transformed into an ascetic
the night of 5 December 1248 Rumi's love for, and his bereavement at the
death of, Shams found their expression in an outpouring lyric poems, Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi. He himself went out searching for Shams and journeyed again to Damascus.
POEMS
Let's delve into the beauty of the Islamic knowledge and discover the hidden wisdom behind Rumi's words, through some of his well known poems.
Hidden (deep) meaning
The minute I heard my first love story,I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.Lovers don't meet each other,
they're in each other all along.
PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE
According to Sufism, the search for love refers to the ability to love rather than the necessity of being loved.“loving does not depend on being loved”Life Love
Rumi believes that it is not logical to develop love for temporal and ordinary things and to get enchanted by their beauty. Rumi says that one should love the source and origin of this beauty
He says that eternal beauty belongs to God
this universe is only a passing reflection of eternal beauty of God.
LOVE OF GOD
the source of all souls is God separation raised restlessness in souls to return
to their origin, the God. Every soul feels a continual attraction towards
its source But this attraction is screened by material
constraints like our body, universe and matter. In the depths, every atom is conscious of its
origin and every creature is ever dissatisfied and wants to live a higher life.
I died as a mineral and became a plant,I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was Man.Why should I fear? When was I less by
dying?Yet once more I shall die as Man, to soar
with angels blessed; but even from angelhood
I must pass on: all except God doth perish.
When I have sacrificed my angel-soul, I shall become what
no mind ever conceived.
BIRTH, DEATH AND RESURRECTION the idea that one
continues to be born in the physical world being subjected to cycles of death and rebirth until the soul can finally be released from the "prison", symbolized by the word "chains", becoming immortal.
Rumi makes it clear that only those who seek love rather than the worldly pleasures can pass the test of immortality and enter the heavenly realms. Those who fail, will return to the physical world, again and again
WHIRLING DERVISHES Following his death, his followers and his son
Sultan Walad founded the Mevlevi Order, also known as the Order of the Whirling Dervishes, famous for its Sufi dance known as the Sama ceremony
samāʿ represents a mystical journey of spiritual ascent through mind and love to the Perfect One
The seeker then returns from this spiritual journey, with greater maturity, to love and to be of service to the whole of creation without discrimination with regard to beliefs, races, classes and nations.
KONYA,TURKEY
This world is in deep trouble, from top to bottom. But it can be swiftly healed by the balm of love. (Rumi)
