Rumi (Sept.30, 1207 Belh-Dec.17, 1273 Konya) is an incomparable artist, a great spiritual scholar. Rumi is a teacher of souls. Mesnevi shows men the true love, how to be an exemplary person, with good ethics, honesty, generosity, humbleness, patience, trustworthiness, truthfulness by way of hundreds of stories. One has to take lessons out of these. Rumis spiritualism is good moral and ethical values. In Mevlanas spiritualism, the meaning of life and creation is love.Rumis most obvious specialty is his tolerance. He never liked one to be hurt because of himself; he preferred not to answer a question from one who was thinking contrary to him, and thus make that person ashamed of his ideas. • Be a lover; choose love so that you will also be the chosen.• There will be left nothing bad in you, if you look for good.Be like a river in generosity and giving helpBe like a sun in tenderness and pityBe like night when covering others faultsBe like a dead when furious and angryBe like earth in modesty and humblenessBe like a sea in toleranceBe as you are or as you look like
