  • Rumi Begu | Season 3 | Ep 15 | Mysteries of the Masnavi
    Jun 8 2025

    In this episode, we explore the themes and structure of Rumi’s Masnavi, a work often regarded as a spiritual guide in poetic form. Rumi enriches the text with a wide range of metaphors, parables, and symbolic language that add depth and beauty to every story he tells. We discuss how these metaphors are not just literary devices, but gateways to deeper spiritual truths. The Masnavi touches on profound themes such as the nature of the soul, the ego’s struggle, the longing for the Divine, and the transformative power of love. This episode sets the stage for a deeper engagement with the text in future discussions.
