We now invite you to listen to Rumi’s teachings from the “Fihi Ma Fihi,” Discourses 51, 52 and 55. Discourse 51 “Rumi said: ‘Until you see, how can you find? This is true for all but Lovers: For how can they seek the Beloved, Being blind, Until they have discovered?’ The worldly quest is searching for something new, something not yet experienced, but this other quest begins with what we have already found and then desire. This is God’s quest, for God is the Finder. […]” Discourse 52 “The world of imagination is greater than facts and concepts, for all concepts are born of imagination. Yet imagination itself is narrow compared to that world from which imagination is born. This is the limit of explanations, for that reality cannot be made known by words and expressions.” Discourse 55 “Those who cultivate the habit of speaking well of others are like gardeners who plant flowers and aromatic herbs around their houses – wherever they look out they see a beautiful display and are always in Paradise. This is why the saints have love for all people and think well of whomever they meet – not for the sake of others, but solely for themselves. Since, in this world no one can escape talking about other people or encountering their images, the saints struggle to hold everything in their mind and memory in an amiable and positive light, so that hateful images will not block their way.”
