Rumi in the World: November 2019
/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…
“Harvest celebrations have been a part of cultures throughout history. People, from all over the world, gather in their communities to honor their region’s crops. Although harvest celebrations are found in different cultures with different traditions, they all have the same purpose. Behind each harvest is hard work and patience. People do not just celebrate the outcome, but the effort put towards it. This is why these celebrations are filled with gratitude and joy.
Wisdom is something that comes with time. It is something that must be fed to grow but once it is ready for harvest, we celebrate. It is another success we can hold within ourselves and be proud of.”
