Farsi Fridays: September 9, 2022
/Though it is now translated in to hundreds of languages, Rumi’s original work was written in Farsi – including his famous Mathnawi. Each Friday we send out a word or phrase, in Farsi, that can be found in Rumi’s work. You can listen to the pronunciation and learn the meaning of Farsi words that often appear in Rumi's poetry.
Farsi Fridays is an opportunity to learn Rumi's language and better understand his wisdoms.
“اندیشه is a thought form that can lead us in many different directions”
اندیشه
(an•dee•she)
“ideas”
Below is a moment from Rumi’s Mathnawi where he uses the word اندیشه (“ideas”)…
بقی تو استخوان و ریشهای
“Oh brother, you are thought.
The rest of you is bones and fiber.”
~Rumi
