Rumi's Tale of a Soul (Parrot) Longing for Freedom (Masnavi 1)

A Tale by Rumi of a Parrot Teaches a Lesson to his Master (Merchant)

This is no ordinary bird, but the soul itself, caged in flesh.
This is not just a story—it’s a riddle wrapped in wings.

It is a whisper from your soul, trying to remember its home.
But beware: by the end, you may find it is your own cage he unlocks.

Rumi, one of the most celebrated poets in history, has captivated hearts for over 800 years with his profound, soul-stirring verses. Born in 1207 in what is now Afghanistan, Rumi was not only a poet but also a scholar, mystic, and theologian. His life took a pivotal turn when he met Shams of Tabriz, a wandering dervish who became his spiritual guide. Their deep bond led to Rumi’s transformation, resulting in some of the most beautiful poetry ever written about love, the soul, and the mysteries of life.

Rumi’s vision of love is universal, all-encompassing, and spiritual. His poems speak of love as a powerful force that connects us to each other and the divine. They are about longing, union, and the eternal relationship between the lover and the beloved.

This video is an invitation to immerse yourself in Rumi’s world and experience his poetry in a new light — words that continue to speak to the heart, across cultures and generations.
