Problem
Rumi was a Sufi poet from Persia who lived from 1207-1273, during the time of the Mongol invasions. He wrote in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and Greek.
Watch the YouTube Videos: "When I Die- Rumi" and "We Don't Need to Seek Love. We Just Have to Stop Resisting It | The Wisdom of Rumi"
I. Explain his thinking from his passages, "When I Die" and "We Don't Need to Seek Love."
II. How does his thinking in these passages connect to what we read about Sufism in Destiny Disrupted? How might these lessons have proven popular to people living in the chaos of Rumi's world? Rumi is still VERY popular today; every year, he's one of the top-selling poets in the world. Why do you think this is the case?
