Document Summary

Interpretive paragraph for the sufi path of love. One of the concepts i found interesting in the sufi path of love was that a person should welcome suffering. Rumi says that god makes us all suffer at points in our lives so that we will eventually abandon attachment to [ourselves] and strive to attain self (237). Rumi even goes as far as saying, seek pain! Seek pain, pain, pain! (237) because the more a man suffers, the more he wants to be free of what is causing his suffering, his self-existence. Honestly, i think if one truly believed this our suicide statistics would shoot through the roof. I mean really, what i interpret rumi is saying is that one should make himself suffer so much that you want to die. This, to me, sounds like an awful way to live.
