Program 18: All Existence is a Moment

categories: program18

Rumi discussed abstract ideas as well as practical ways of life including religious practice. Was he a practicing Muslim? Or, did he rebel against religion as well. What is Zikr? Is there a connection between Zikr and reflection? I will explore these as well as some of Rumi’s ideas, which could seem out of place in our competitive world such as “belonging to the sea,” and being “co-travelers,” whose souls are one.

Program 17: Try to Be in Love!

categories: program17

In this program which is a continuation of Program 16, we discuss how Rumi uses the concept of “being in love” to denote being emotionally connected and involved with the world around you. It might seem strange to tell someone to try to be in love. Our natural reaction is that we are either in love or not. How could we be asked to feel something that we are not feeling? Well, you need to listen to Program 17 to find this out for yourself.
