Reflection on the Quote:

A message from Dr. Fariba Enteshari, Founder & Executive Director

Rumi’s school of love teaches us to find our authentic self.

Going through life is like mapping uncharted territory.

How should we approach the mystery of life to experience the best version of ourselves?

Rumi encourages us to wake up to a life where our spirit leads the way

with our intuition guiding our faculty of rationality. The Yin and Yang together entwined as one.

To live life fully we need to know the desire of own heart and let it unfold into our lived reality. Rumi reminds us that the best teacher in life is love.

According to him in this verse even our spirit had learned in the school of love to be love.

It is fair to say that we usually grow through our experiences in life. Experiencing life in our own unique way needs in-depth listening.

With each failed attempt, mistakes in life become another powerful key to understanding ourselves. To experience our layers of intuition, we need patience and time—none is supported by our today’s lifestyle. Thus, ongoing practice is another key to lighten our way to the Well of being!

The power of choice can be deceiving when we are still learning the skills to find our way in life. We need the help of a community, well versed in the language of love, to remind us of the golden threads of love.

-Dr. Fariba Enteshari

هزار گونه ادب جان ز عشق آموزد

که آن ادب نتوان یافتن ز مکتب‌ها

“One thousand lessons spirit learned from love that are not taught in other schools.”

~Rumi
