Rumi in the World: September 2022
/Rumi’s teachings invite us to an inward journey. This journey takes us from the path of duality to the path of Unity. Body, mind and soul unify only when we pay attention to the world within us. In this section, from our Monthly Newsletter, we relate Rumi and his wisdoms to the world around us — whether this means current events, culture, philosophies, and much more. We examine how his wisdoms can be used to navigate our every day and to help us understand different aspects of life…
“It is not always easy to do, sometimes it is all but impossible, but the psychology around motivation and mindset are clear. With sensitivity to socioeconomic factors, levels of ability, and so forth, research has shown that it is the way we think about ourselves and our lives that gives rise to impossible boundaries and keeps us from growth. When you believe in your own ability to grow, and recognize the ways your mindset or behavior holds yourself back from achievement, the possibilities for the direction of your life become endless. Another way to look at this is through the incorporation of the divine, and trusting in the path that this force has in store. This can only be revealed through the path of least resistance, falling directly into that divine love that Rumi so often exclaims for. Whether you depend on spirituality or science, these lessons can be integrated into how we assess the power we have over our lives, and come out and claim it.”
