For Rumi and the great Sufi masters, love is more than mere sentiment. It is the very purpose of our existence, the path by which we become fully human, and the secret at the heart of the spiritual journey.
For the masters of this way, life itself is a school of love, and every encounter, longing, joy, and heartbreak is part of our education.
Join @barakablue for an exploration of Rumi’s teachings on the religion of love, the transformation of the heart, and what we came into this world to learn.

“If you care for your life, run away from love.”
For true love asks everything of us. It strips away our illusions, loosens our attachments, and calls us beyond the confines of the self.
As Rumi writes:
“Love is that flame which, when it blazes up, burns away everything except the Beloved.”
For the masters of this way, life itself is a school of love, and every encounter, longing, joy, and heartbreak is part of our education.
Join @barakablue this Saturday, November 7, for Rumi and the School of Love, a free virtual community gathering exploring Rumi’s teachings on the religion of love, the transformation of the heart, and what we came into this world to learn.

“When the aspiring traveler clings to retreat and the remembrance of God’s name, when he empties his heart of reflective thoughts, and when he sits in poverty at the door of his Lord with nothing, then God will bestow upon him and give him something of knowledge of Him, the divine mysteries, and the lordly sciences.”
— Ibn ʿArabī, al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyya, I 31.4
Trans. W. Chittick, Ibn ʿArabi: Heir to the Prophets, p. 15

In the Sufi tradition, the body is a noble vehicle for the heart on its journey back to the Divine Presence.
Allah has given us our senses, intellects, and even our desires as provisions for the journey up the mountain. Each has its place: the heart is meant to lead, turning us toward Allah, while our desires learn to follow rather than rule.
The spirit cannot ascend in this world without being embodied. Caring for the body is therefore part of honoring what Allah has entrusted to us, allowing it to fulfill its sacred purpose.

The Sufis do not abandon this world, nor do they hold that human appetites must be done away with. They only discipline those desires that are in discordance with the religious life and the dictates of sound reason.
They don’t throw away all things of this world, nor do they go after them with a vengeance. Rather, they know the true value and function of everything upon the earth. They save as much as is necessary. They eat as much as they need to stay healthy.
They nourish their bodies and simultaneously set their hearts free. God becomes the focal point toward which their whole being leans. God becomes the object of their continual adoration and contemplation.
— Imām al-Ghazālī
Essential Sufism, J. Fadiman + R. Frager, p. 37.

“You can’t really be a person of dhikr until you fall in love.”
The heart is always in remembrance of something.
Whatever we love, we carry within us. Our thoughts return to it, our hearts turn toward it, and without even knowing, we make dhikr of it.
When the heart is filled with love for Allah, remembrance becomes more than words upon the tongue. It becomes the longing of the soul, drawn again and again toward the Beloved.
So may we become true lovers!

Whoever chooses this world over the next will find that his ignorance overwhelms his knowledge, his curiosity (fuḍūl) his remembrance, and his disobedience his obedience.
Whoever chooses the hereafter over this world will find that his silence has dominion over his speech, his poverty over his wealth, and his anxiety (hamm) over his happiness (surūr).
Whoever chooses the pleasure of his Lord over the two abodes will find that his spirit (rūḥ) has dominion over his nafs, his love over his heart, and proximity [with God] over his inmost secret (sirr). Then his nafs will become tied by the bonds of service, his heart captive to the fear of separation (khawf al-furqa), and his inmost secret familiar with the intimacy of communing (uns al-ṣuḥba).
