Rumi's Spiritual Evolution and Legacy

When the danger rises to the highest level, Rumi is to face the results of his spiritual enlightenment. The episode looks at the consequences of Shams’ disappearance, and its influence on Rumi’s life and search for enlightenment. Rumi’s loss and the consequent rededication of himself to his spiritual journey are shown as the background to the transformation of his poetry. 

 And as the season winds down, new focus will be given to the progress of Rumi as a spiritual master and a poet. His teachings go public and he finds disciples who are interested in his rather unorthodox view on spirituality. This episode underlines Rumi’s inputs to the Sufi mumbo-jumbo and the residuary influence of his intervention to the upcoming generations and his contemporaries too.
