• Shahriar Tabrizi Documentary: From Human to Divine #Love 29.06.2026 34min

  Persian Mystical Poetry Podcast Producer and host: Rasoul Rahbari-Ghazani Co-host: Reyhaneh Davoodi-Kahaki Consultant: Mohammad Davoodi Music: Amirmohammad Monjezi: https://www.youtube.com/@amirmohamdmonjezi This documentary explores the profound, emotional, and spiritual universe of Shahriar Tabrizi, one of the most influential voices of modern Persian poetry. It illustrates Shahriar’s passages from earthly longing and heartbreak to transcendent love, ethical reflection, and mystical awakening. These poems—rooted in human suffering, nostalgia, and reverence—reveal how Persian mystical literature bridges personal loss with spiritual wisdom. Shahriar’s verses, whether mourning his mother in “Ey Vaay Maadaram,” yearning for childhood in “Khaan Nana,” remembering home in “Haydar-Baaba,” or contemplating divine perfections and proximity in “Ali, Ey Humaa‑yi Rahmat,” speak powerfully to today’s struggles with identity, grief, belonging, and the quest for meaning. His poetry invites us to reflect on love as a transformative force, guiding us from the fragility of human attachment to the vastness of spiritual insight.

• Ch5. E4/4. Ibn Arabi's Fusus al-Hikam (Seals of Wisdom), Wisdom of Abraham 26.06.2026 17min

  Rasoul Rahbari-Ghazani Music: Amirmohammad Monjezi: https://www.youtube.com/@amirmohamdmonjezi In the Wisdom of Abraham, Ibn Arabi explores how the divine reality becomes knowable through created existence while always exceeding it. Abraham, named al-Khalīl (“the intimate friend”), symbolizes "mutual indwelling" (permeation): God is manifest in creation, and creation reveals God. The chapter grapples with paradoxes of agency, knowledge, praise, and responsibility, asking how humans both depend on the Real and serve as loci in which divine Names appear. Its central concern is to show that divine transcendence and immanence are not opposites but intertwined dimensions of a single, dynamic relationship between the Real and the human knower.

• Shams Tabrizi | Discourse 3: "Who Speaks of God?" 22.06.2026 5min

  Persian Mystical Poetry Podcast Producer and host: Rasoul Rahbari-Ghazani Co-host: Reyhaneh Davoodi-Kahaki Consultant: Mohammad Davoodi Music: Amirmohammad Monjezi: https://www.youtube.com/@amirmohamdmonjezi What gives us the right to speak about God, truth, or even wisdom? In this powerful discourse, Shams Tabrizi confronts the arrogance that can hide behind even the most religious or scholarly words. He asks: "Do you truly understand what you’re saying—or are you just repeating inherited words without tasting their truth?" In this video, I explore Shams’ warning that sacred speech demands purity, not pride; that quoting hadith and Qur’an without real understanding is like wearing borrowed clothes.

In this episode, I explore Shams Tabrizi's powerful metaphor about mirrors, truth, and the courage it takes to confront our ego. Shams teaches us that facing criticism is the first step toward self-knowledge and spiritual growth.

The wine of the soul flows freely, awakening those who are asleep to the secrets of existence. Rumi calls on the cupbearer to pour the sacred wine, a drink not of this world but of pure awakening. He mocks philosophers who cling to logic, declaring that true lovers have drowned in the sea of love. For them, even the vast ocean is but a single cup.   My latest books: Sarayān: The Real’s Permeation: Ibn ʿArabi on the Divine Presence in the Cosmos with Neoplatonic Insights (available in both digital and print formats): https://immortalechoes.org/pages/our-press The Soul-Conquering Love in Fayz Kashani’s Poetry: Translations and Annotations (Persian and English); available for in print and digital formats: https://immortalechoes.org/pages/our-press   Visit our ⁠Academy of Mystic Poetics and Philosophy⁠, and check out our courses: https://immortalechoes.org/pages/courses If you enjoy the content and wish to ⁠support our work⁠, your generosity helps us continue creating: https://immortalechoes.org/pages/donations Watch more from Persian Mystical Poetry Podcast: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqkz7b_183HHJERERmZ7fn8cYrLJOzvqy&si=m5l2JJfTOLetqpST  Watch more from our Ibn Arabi Podcast: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqkz7b_183HG0qkYvbH9dyTAWnncKZGLp&si=sCNGBNjB7RRRIZat My recent publications: https://istanbul.academia.edu/RasoulRahbariGhazani    #sufism #Islamic_mysticism #mysticism #Rumi #persianpoetry #persian_poem

A loyal servant of the king of Bukhara is falsely accused and forced into exile. For ten years, he wanders through deserts and mountains, burning with longing. At last, unable to endure separation, he resolves to return—though it may cost him his life. His friends warn him: the king may imprison or execute him.
