Program 36: “Merry Christmas: Rumi on Jesus, Light, and Healing”


This program is a Christmas special! In it I discuss some of Rumi’s poems focused on the presence of light, giving, and healing as embodied in the symbolic person of Jesus. We will see how in these lines light, which for Muslims is a manifestation of the divine, is connected with Jesus as a healer of suffering and one who spreads the force of life.
