It breaks my heart that he said if you are not Muslim you are not really understand Rumi. All I have to say is that reading Rumi has hit me straight right in my heart many, many times I can’t read his poetry without tears coming to my eyes. It has made me understand things I didn’t even know existed, but specially it has helped me starting to see and understand God beyond something I never ever thought I had the capacity to see. Rumi’s teachings have given me so much strength and it has helped me in every aspect of my life. I was raised catholic but now just like said “my religion is love”

Subhanallah. Such a lovely discourse. So glad for these discussions enabled by BLF. Thank you BLF.

Mashallah im really impressed with your knowledge about so many poets command of many languages and how you add farsi / urdu ashare to bring maulana rumi’s poetry to life - aap ka shukriya

It was a much-needed day. I can listen again and again. Thank you 🙏

Rumi's masterpiece, the Masnavi (مثنوي), is a broadly influential work, commonly called "the Quran in Persian." It is a spiritual text that teaches people how to reach their goal of being truly in love with God. Thank you for sharing these beautiful reflections.

A great lecture - please let me know how i can get in touch with the Ustad Feridoon
