Rumi in the World: June 2020
/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…
“Injustice is an every day occurrence – it exists even when our privilege and distance blinds us to it. This blindness is a choice, one that we cannot let ourselves make. Just because we have chosen it in the past doesn’t mean we can’t change. There is plenty of room in the world for us all to take action.
Rumi teaches us to do good and to be generous. He teaches us to live our life guided by love for ourselves and others. We have to use the love we have to make changes, to take action against injustices. There are endless ways for us to use what Rumi teaches us and most of them simply require our effort.
Some ways to start right now: choose kindness, listen to others, educate yourself, educate others, ask how you can help, sign a petition, and speak up!”
