You know, Yahia, my Iranian neighbour, an old lady, told me about Rumi before, then I read your post about how attempts of translating poetry can affect the messages that were put inside by the author (on his example), I'm getting interested in this poet, the Universe has been bringing thoughts of him to me...
As for the faith, it's a blessing for those who are ill, my relative said to me that he pities the ones who suffer without it, he said to me also that he'd be about to commit suicide if he wasn't blessed by knowing for sure that his suffering is needed and is for his own good. Moreover, without this faith, he'd never think that he has a chance for cure, but nothing is impossible for our Lord!!!!! We should pray for our dear ones...
Amen, sister, nothing is impossible for our Lord!
And, to extend your relative's observation, further, 'we are all suffering and life is without meaning, if it is without faith.'
_/|\_I'm so happy to hear Rumi is reaching out to you ("what you seek also seeks you, he says). He is a great mystic and tremendous source of spiritual beauty and inspiration. Stay blessed, my friend <3
