So, why is it then that Muhammad said to God, ‘I didn’t know you as I should have,’ while Bayazid proclaimed, ‘Glory be to me! How exalted is my Glory! ? Rumi explained that Muhammad was the greater of the two, because Bayazid could be filled to capacity by a single experience of divine blessings. What a strange question! Muhammad is greater than all the saints, Rumi replied. “Who was the greater mystic, Bayazid or Muhammad?” Shams demanded. Shams caught hold of the reins of his donkey and rudely challenged the master with two questions. His reply was, Something you do not understand.Īnother version of the first encounter is this: In the marketplace of Konya, amid the cotton stalls, sugar vendors, and vegetable stands, Rumi rode through the street, surrounded by his students. Shams asks Rumi what he is doing, to which Rumi replies, Something that you do not understand! At that moment, the books suddenly catch fire and Rumi asks Shams to explain what happened. Rumi regards him as an uneducated stranger. (This is knowledge that cannot be understood by the learned.)Ī second version of the tale has Shams passing by Rumi who again is reading a book. Rumi then asked Shams, What is this? To which Shams replied, Mowlana, this is what you cannot understand. Rumi hastily rescued the books and to his surprise they were all dry. (This is knowledge that cannot be understood by the unlearned.) On hearing this, Shams threw the stack of books into a nearby pool of water. Shams Tabriz, passing by, asked him, What are you doing? Rumi scoffingly replied, Something you cannot understand. One day Rumi was reading next to a large stack of books. As it was said in Haji Bektash Veli's book, Makalat, he was looking for something which he was going to find in Konya. He was claiming to be a travelling merchant. On 15 November 1244, a man in a black suit from head to toe came to the famous inn of Sugar Merchants of Konya. HISTORICAL PLACES OF IRAN IN GOOGLE EARTH PART ONE ( 1/3 )ġ.
