Rumi and the Sufi Path of Love

Season 2 Episode 208 | 58m 28s

How did a 13th-century Sufi mystic from Central Asia become the most widely-read poet in the United States? This program mixes knowledgeable, in-depth conversations with evocative film segments to explore the depths of Rumi’s poetry and teachings. What is Rumi’s concept of divine Love, or “Iskh,” and how is this love similar or different than what other great teachers, such as Jesus, taught?
