The Collaboration of Rumi and Shams

Consider meeting someone who completely transforms your life. That's what happened when Rumi met Shams of Tabriz. Their intense spiritual friendship inspired Rumi's greatest works, including the "Masnavi."

Shams’ unconventional wisdom and Rumi’s poetic genius created a synergy that emphasized the importance of love, both human and divine, in achieving spiritual enlightenment. This relationship shows how profound personal connections can lead to significant spiritual growth and creativity.

“On the seeker's path, the wise and crazed are one.
In the way of love, kin and strangers are one.
The one who they gave the wine of the beloved's union,
In his path, the Kaaba and house of idols are one.”
- Rumi (Quatrain 305)Credit: iranian-com; by Majid Amini 08-May-2010
