Let go of material attachments from "summary" of The Masnavi I Ma'navi of Rumi (Complete 6 Books): The Festival of Spring from The Díván of Jeláleddín by Rumi
The Festival of Spring is a time of celebration and renewal, a time to let go of material attachments that weigh us down and prevent us from experiencing true joy and freedom. Rumi reminds us that material possessions are transient and fleeting, and that true happiness comes from within, not from external sources. By releasing our attachment to material things, we open ourselves up to a deeper connection with the divine and with the beauty of the world around us. Rumi uses the metaphor of spring as a time of rebirth and rejuvenation, a time when the earth comes back to life after the cold, dark winter. Just as the trees shed their old leaves and blossom anew, so too must we let go of our material attachments in order to grow and evolve. This process of letting go can be painful and difficult, but it is necessary for our spiritual growth and development. Rumi urges us to trust in the process of letting go, to have faith that by releasing our attachment to material things, we will find a greater sense of peace and fulfillment. He reminds us that true wealth does not come from the accumulation of possessions, but from the richness of our inner life and the depth of our connection to the divine.- We create space in our lives for new experiences and opportunities to enter. We become more open and receptive to the beauty and abundance of the world around us, and we are able to appreciate the simple pleasures of life with a newfound sense of gratitude and wonder. Letting go of material attachments is a powerful act of surrender and trust, a letting in of light and love that brings us closer to the true essence of our being.
