Prayers And Poems Dissolving The Ego In The Divine

Prayers and Poems provides a snapshot of what life was like for the author as a busy householder on the path in the 1980s. The strains of career and family life served as fuel for powerful bhakti (devotion) during those years, leading to a transformation. This was after 15 years of meditation, and the addition of powerful techniques now found in the extensive instructional AYP writings. The events described here occurred 15 years before the AYP lessons began, which have continued for another 20 years.

Feminist perspectives on Irish literature

Cairns have decorated the landscapes of cultures throughout time. Piles of stone-one stone placed on top of another-are set in place all over the earth to recall battles, identify burial sites, mark trails, and spur hearts and minds to remember sacred, noble, and critical events. They are landmarks. They are sacramental presences in space and time. Our lives are littered with markers of meaning. They all reveal who we are, where we have been, and offer us a jumping off point for the future. In the true mystic tradition, everything straddles meaning and is potentially available to reveal the inner life, God Himself, and all that Is. My hope is that we will begin to look at the markers of meaning in our lives and notice how we store that meaning in our heart. My hope is that we will reconstruct our prayer life and the shape of our interior world, that we will recognize the impact things have on us and discriminate toward health. Our journey in this book will be more like an amble or a wandering. We will hop from pillar to post looking for meaning and attempting to infuse things with meaning. We will look at our practices and the practices of those from our shared human past. We will begin to notice that there is a hidden depth to how we live-one that reveals we live in layers or dimensions, not simple and flat lines.

Introduction - Rumi's Timeless Legacy Welcome to a journey through the life and legacy of a remarkable soul whose words have traversed time and touched hearts across the globe. In the following chapters, we will delve into the captivating tale of Rumi, a name that resonates with wisdom, love, and mysticism. Rumi, whose full name is “Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī”, was not just a poet or a scholar; he was a beacon of light in the realm of human understanding. His story, spanning the 13th century, stretches far beyond the borders of his birthplace, leaving a trail of inspiration that remains as vibrant today as it was centuries ago. Born on September 30, 1207, in Balkh, a city in what is now Afghanistan, Rumi's journey began in a land rich with cultural heritage and spiritual traditions. His early years were marked by a thirst for knowledge and a heart open to the mysteries of existence. Little did he know that his path would lead him to become one of the most celebrated poets and thinkers in history. As we embark on this voyage, imagine the vibrant tapestry of the Middle Ages, a time of intellectual exploration, where the scent of knowledge wafted through the air, and hearts beat in rhythm with the pulse of discovery. Rumi's world was one of shifting empires, diverse cultures, and a profound search for meaning. Our journey will take us through dusty libraries where Rumi's young mind absorbed the teachings of scholars, through bustling bazaars where merchants exchanged not only goods but also ideas, and to the quiet corners of Konya, Turkey, where a fateful encounter would forever alter the course of Rumi's life. At the heart of Rumi's story is his deep and transformative friendship with Shams al-Din Tabrizi, a wandering mystic who ignited a flame within Rumi's soul. Their bond was not just one of teacher and student; it was a connection that bridged the earthly and the divine, sparking revelations that would find their way into Rumi's immortal verses. Picture, if you will, the sun-drenched courtyards of Konya, where Rumi and Shams engaged in conversations that delved into the very essence of existence. These dialogues, often filled with laughter, contemplation, and soul-stirring insights, formed the crucible from which Rumi's poetry emerged like pure gold. In the chapters to come, we will explore the intoxicating power of divine love that Rumi so eloquently described in his works. We will witness the birth of the whirling dervishes, a mystical order that sought union with the divine through dance and devotion. We will unravel the verses of Rumi's masterpiece, the "Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi," and embark on a journey of enlightenment, where every couplet is a stepping stone toward the truth.
