"My soul, why do you tarry so long in th eland of exile? Return from this exile, how long will you be dispersed?
i sent a hundred letters, i signalled a hundred ways; either you do not know the way or you do not read the letter"

- Rumi (aj arberry trans)

[slm] sis :)

Further down in the same section, there is a thread dedicated to Rumi's work....a quote from there says:

[quote]"jelaluddin rumi was born in the year 1207 and until the age of thirty-seven was a brilliant scholar and popular teacher.  but his life changed forever when he met the powerful wandering dervish, shams of tabriz, of whom rumi said, "what i had thought of before as God, i met today in a human being."  from this mysterious and esoteric friendship came a new height of spiritual enlightenment.

when shams disappeared, rumi began his transformation from scholar to artist, and his poetry began to fly.

today the ecstatic poetry of jelaluddin rumi is more popular than ever,...."    etc. etc. [/quote]

Hope this clears up any confusion inshaAllah.

Take care inshaAllah
[wlm] :-)
