Universal message of love!! "When we are dead, seek not our tomb in the earth, but find it in the hearts of men." According to Professor Majid Naini , one of the foremost international Rumi scholars who travels the world trying to spread Rumi's universal message of love, Rumi's life and transformation provide true testimony and proof that people of all religions and backgrounds can live together in peace and harmony throughout the world. At Rumi’s grand funeral procession Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and Sufis cried and mourned in a manner that one would have thought that Rumi belonged to each one of them. Rumi’s visions, words, and life teach us how to reach inner peace and happiness so we can finally stop the continual stream of hostility and hatred and achieve true global peace and harmony. In a beautiful verse in Mathnavi, Rumi describes in detail the universal message of love. For example, he states: Love’s nationality is separate from all other religions, The lover’s religion and nationality is the Beloved (God). The lover’s cause is separate from all other causes Love is the astrolabe of God’s mysteries. In Divan-i Shams, Rumi says: What is to be done, O Muslims? for I do not recognize myself. I am neither Christian, nor Jew, nor Gabr, nor Muslim. I am not of the East, nor of the West, nor of the land, nor of the sea; I am not of Nature's mint, nor of the circling heaven. I am not of earth, nor of water, nor of air, nor of fire; I am not of the empyrean, nor of the dust, nor of existence, nor of entity. I am not of India, nor of China, nor of Bulgaria, nor of Saqsin I am not of the kingdom of 'Iraqian, nor of the country of Khorasan I am not of the this world, nor of the next, nor of Paradise, nor of Hell I am not of Adam, nor of Eve, nor of Eden and Rizwan. My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless ; Rumi died on December 17, 1273 in Konya; he was laid to rest beside his father, and a splendid shrine, the Yesil Türbe "Green Tomb", was erected over his tomb. His epitaph reads: "When we are dead, seek not our tomb in the earth, but find it in the hearts of men." cybermusings.blogspot.com
