In this context, we realize that Rumi is the philosopher of experience instead of the philosopher of concepts. A uniquely accessible way to grasp the key issues Rumi presented in the two works’ thousands of verses is to divide the verses into four major categories in a pyramidal structure-bearing in mind that Rumi did not intend to give his work and experience any structure whatsoever. This opens the door to new ways of structuring the contents. The Divan and the Masnavi are not organized thematically or chronologically. The poetry of his Divan is multi-layered, melodic, with powerful imagery, whereas the Masnavi is full of literary and spiritual anecdotes. And for the next thirty years, Rumi’s writings resulted in a monumental body of work in the form of poetry. Over the three years that Rumi and Shams spent together, an irreversible shift of understanding occurred in Rumi’s mind. This chapter is dedicated to reconstructing the internal world of Rumi as expressed through the avalanche of his words, analogies, imagery, and metaphors. Now the epistemology of Rumi’s world-view and poetry demand a reexamination. The previous chapter was designed to place Rumi and his teachings in the context of the historical realities of his day.
