Fayz Kashani: Divine Love & Self-Emptying | Persian Poetry & Mystical Insights
from Immortal Echoes, Mortal Words · host Rasoul Rahbari-Ghazani
Rasoul Rahbari-Ghazani Reyhaneh Davoodi-Kahaki Music: https://www.youtube.com/@amirmohamdmonjezi Step into the mystical world of Mulla Muhsin Fayz Kashani, a 17th-century Persian philosopher and poet, as we explore the gradual transformation of the self through divine love in ghazal 824 from his Divan. This episode reveals how spiritual awakening happens "gradually, gradually", guiding the soul toward the Divine while detaching from worldly attachments. My questions for you: How do you interpret Fayz Kashani’s metaphor of divine love as a rope pulling the soul? Why does self-transcendence happen gradually instead of instantly? Have you ever experienced a "gradual awakening" in your spiritual journey? What worldly attachments are hardest for you to let go of?
