Repost @joobinbekhrad・・・In case you missed it … Read ‘Divine Mysteries at Asia House’, a little piece of mine for Apollo about the ‘Golshan-e Raz’ (‘Garden of Mystery’), a fourteenth-century classic of Persian Sufi poetry, and an exhibition of contemporary Iranian art in London (https://www.apollo-magazine.com/divine-mysteries-at-asia-house/)..In The Garden of Mystery (Golshan-e Raz), the fourteenth-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic Mahmoud Shabestari answers a series of questions posed by a fellow scholar. The treatise, written in rhyming couplets (masnavi), deals with themes, allegories, and imagery prevalent in the Persian Sufi tradition. At its core is the Sufi concept of the ‘unity of being’: the transcendental oneness of God. ‘Beneath the veil of each atom’, Shabestari wrote, ‘is hidden the heart-ravishing beauty of the Beloved’s face!’.#iran #iranian #persian #poetry #sufi #sufism #art -- source link
