What does it mean to long for the Unattainable? What is this “trap” that Rumi speaks of? And how does love break, melt, and rebuild the seeker over and over again? Key Themes in this Episode: The deep longing that drives the soul to seek the Divine.  The poetic imagery of a restless heart setting a trap for the Beloved.  Rumi’s view on suffering, transformation, and the ultimate reunion.  A powerful Farsi recitation with English interpretation.
