Rumi The Meeting of Heaven and Earth

The well documented meeting of the 13th century scholar Jalaludin Rumi and the wandering Shamsi Tabrizi is but a personal story that has been enacted many times over in the ancient past. It was Shams, the wanderer, the mysterious homeless man of the roads and byways, who would instruct the erudite scholar Jalaludin, tame his ego and break his will, teach him the way to trust and love, thereby becoming a close companion of God. What he could not learn from books, Jalaludin would learn from life itself. Shams, on the other hand, was like a boiling cauldron of God intoxicated love that needed a daily emptying. So, these two souls were destined to meet and give and take. It was their destiny, a destiny written long ago in another dimension.
