It is evident that in the first eighteen verses Rumi has tried to give us eighteen steps that lead to salvation or unification with God. In order to facilitate the divisions of the following chapters, these steps have been reduced to nine. This will enable us to simplify partially the "peculiar" looseness in the association of ideas of the Masnevi (as put by Jan Rypka, p.241). Rumi brought in parables and tales that may or may not relate to the theme of his Masnevi to attract the attention of his reader. These parables have been excluded from this book to save time. Moreover, they do not need explanation. Their exclusion from the text may result in certain monotony, although the verses selected here cover extracts from them, too.
The Steps:
1. The state of an immature man (a materialistic man).
2. The awakening (searching for daily bread or spiritual food).
3. The desire and quest (feeling of separation from the Origin like that of the Ney).
4. Indifference to worldly riches (Majnun's submission).
Hey you! I don't want to stay far from you so I figured I better keep in touch. It's going to be warm soon and I want henna on my chest, shoulders and back this summer so get some ideas!!(smile)
I dreamt that Robin won a lot of money on a scratch off ticket and was buying a churh parking lot to build a "viking" pool. I woke up wondering what a viking pool is.
Hope your New Year is off to a good start! I've been sick and so has my computer. But we are both up and running again! Hope to get out to some shows soon. I need a girls night
Hello! Thanks for adding us! Will you please help us educate others by adding us to your top friends or adding one of our banners and/or videos to your page?
Love the new pics Anna. I wanna hang out with you. I'm going down to the Y to get tight for the summer but I think Imma need some henna soon! Hope to see you down there - D
The henna turned out great! I did end up handling some industrial solvents at work the following Monday, which didn't help it's longevity, but that's OK, because it just means I have to get henna done more often! :) I'll definitely be at the next hafla. Thanks again!
LOL yes, I’m incessantly talkative/texty in the wee hours of the morning as you guys well know by now! Also, Taco Tuesday attendance is not predicated upon one’s carnivoracity…it is an all encompassing affair! I go under the assumption that you’re invited by proxy via “The Jamie”…however, this Tuesday I’m in Hot-lanta and next Tuesday I’m entertaining a client from Australia…hence my Saturday night suggestion. Either way, we’ll figure it out. The mad-texter will surface again when you least expect it! LOL!

I'm trying to take advantage of this amazing online community
to truly change the world in a profound and tangible way
for five children and the people who love them.
I invite you to join me in helping Operation Smile provide cleft palate
& cleft lip surgeries to children around the world.
Perhaps you are in the position to spare $1, $5 or $20...
$240 funds one surgery.
So far, we've raised $415 ~ enough for one child's surgery,
and my goal is to raise $1200 for five children.
Donations can be made by credit card, PayPal or check,
& all donations are completely tax deductible.
Please visit my webpage at Operation Smile: One Love One Smile
We can pray, we can meditate,
but we can also operate...
Please forward this to your friends.
Thank you kindly,
Kristin
