The longing for union with the beloved from "summary" of The Love Poems Of Rumi by Deepak Chopra
In the depths of the heart, there exists a yearning that cannot be quenched by anything of this world. It is a longing, a deep ache that pulls us towards a union that transcends the physical realm. This yearning is for the beloved, for that which completes us in a way nothing else can. Rumi's poems speak to this primal longing, this desire to merge with the source of all love. It is a yearning that goes beyond mere words or actions, reaching into the very core of our being. The beloved is not just a person, but a symbol of the divine, of the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of all creation. In each poem, Rumi explores the different facets of this longing, revealing the depth of emotion and passion that comes with it. It is a journey of surrender, of letting go of the self in order to become one with the beloved. This union is not just physical, but spiritual and emotional as well, a merging of souls that transcends all boundaries. Through his poetry, Rumi invites us to delve into our own longing for union with the beloved, to embrace it fully and without fear. It is a path of love, of devotion, of surrendering to something greater than ourselves. In this journey, we find not just the beloved, but our true selves as well, stripped of all pretense and ego. The longing for union with the beloved is a central theme in Rumi's poems, a thread that weaves through each verse and stirs the hearts of all who read them. It is a reminder of our eternal connection to the divine, and a call to embrace that connection with open arms and an open heart.
