Rumi's Way of Mysticism - Paperback

by Hossein Eshraghi (Author)

Mysticism, is a gift of God, God confers it, to who He wants, not because of our capacity, but only, as an act of Love. Mysticism is not a metaphor, but it is the essence that we express in metaphors. It is the manuscript of the play. Mysticism is the language of love, it's the knowledge and worshiping of God. It is God's Inspiration, it's a Light in our heart. Mysticism has no barriers, it does not have friends or enemies, there is no preference and no limitation in it. We should empty ourselves, from our ego to leave the space for developing our soul, and become like a reed, vibrating and echoing with a breath of God.Mathnavi-ye Moulavi is a journey from Picture to Mold and from Form to Essence. Seeing God in everything, knowing and worshiping Him, and finally being in His Presence, and finding ourselves as nothingness. It is a journey from Non-Existence to Existence, and regress or progress to Non-Existence. For Rumi all is One and One is in all.Rumi is the master of mysticism; he illuminates us about the subjects and shows us the way and how to achieve it. He explains the subjects to us, in the language of souls, and not in metaphors.His way is not separation from our physical world or to neglect our emotional or mental capacities, but to educate and bring it under control to create an intuitive mind.Rumi's aim is not converting us, but transforming us; convincing us is not his way of teaching, but illuminating us, simplifying and explaining the subjects to us, showing us the way to arrive in His Presence. We are all creatures of our Universe and he wants us to take responsibility for that; at all moments and under all circumstances. Rumi does not accept our excuses; for him, each moment has infinite possibilities, shapes and conditions, and the time is part of this alchemy.This book is a gleaning from Rumi's Masterpiece in Mysticism, known as Mathnavi "Spiritual Couplets." This is a free adaptation, compilation and translation of that book, written and codified under the subjects, for easy understanding of Mysticism. The aim of this compilation is not to sustain, confirm or deny what Rumi says, but to explain in a very simple way, what he says; to accept it totally or partially is the reader's choice and freedom.
