from Immortal Echoes, Mortal Words · host Rasoul Rahbari-Ghazani
Rasoul Rahbari-Ghazani Reyhaneh Davoodi-Kahaki Music: https://www.youtube.com/@amirmohamdmonjezi Why did God bring us into existence? In Ghazal 1019, Rumi declares: "God has brought us into existence for chaos and passion. He chains the mad, yet makes them even more frenzied." What does Rumi mean by this paradox? Has God created humans for turmoil, or is there a deeper spiritual wisdom behind this madness? Key Themes in this Episode: The mystical meaning of divine chaos and love. How suffering leads to spiritual awakening and transformation. Why love, in Rumi’s view, both unsettles and elevates us. The role of madness and surrender in Sufi mysticism.
