In this program, I will introduce you to Shams of Tabriz, Rumi's teacher. We will talk about who Shams was as his influence had a great impact on the next two decades of Rumi's life; on who Rumi became. Even though Shams was something of a recluse, he had a rather refreshingly candid personality. This was particularly apparent when he spoke truth to power in political times that were fraught with turmoil. Shams was in his 60s, a couple of decades older than Rumi, had traveled much and was a learned person. Furthermore, his profession was basket-weaving, a metaphor often used for weaving and shaping one's personality. Listen to the program to see how he reshaped Rumi's life!
