Rumi Interpretation
The sessions of commentary and symbolic interpretation of Rumi’s Masnavi with a holistic view, for Book Six, are presented on this page. Book Six can be understood as The Book of Poverty and Annihilation; the seventh of Attar’s seven valleys of love. After seeking, love, knowledge, self-sufficiency, unity, and bewilderment, the traveler is emptied of selfhood and ego, and sees nothing before the Beloved of existence but Him. In this state: “He went out from the midst; only God remained, God.”
In these sessions, all the verses of Book Six that are available have been read in order. The main emphasis is on the symbols, the mystical meaning of the stories, and the connection among the stories, so that after each story we may understand how that story can help us in walking the path of perfection.
In this view, each story can help us in at least one of these four areas:
I hope that the message and speech of Rumi, the lover, settles upon your heart and soul, and that you benefit from it on your own path toward perfection.
