Rumi Poetry

Rumi himself used to consider poetry as a 'secondary product'. As to say, "a mere reflex of that huge interior reality we call love". "Love is an emotion", he always used to repeat, "totally silent and inexpressible with words".

Rumi Quote

Rumi's kind of love has a spiritual and noble dignity; we can call it sublime. It's the love we feel for the Inviolate, for the Ineffable, for the Divine and which lies in any of us.

As in Rumi's words : "We love: that's why life is full of so many wonderful gifts".

About Rumi and Divine Love

I have yet to find a better short description about the essence of Rumi than by the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan :

"The original words of Rumi are so deep, so perfect, so touching, that when one man repeats them hundreds and thousands of people are moved to tears. They cannot help penetrating the heart. This shows how much Rumi himself was moved to have been able to pour out such living words.

Many wanted to consider him a prophet, but he said, 'No, I am not a prophet, I am a poet.' When Hafiz wrote about Rumi he said, 'I am not capable of writing about the verses of Rumi. What I can say is that he is not a prophet, but he is the one who brought the Sacred Book.' In other words he wanted to say that in fact he was a prophet."
