Rumi’s Ideal World Is Unbiased And Free From Belligerence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Az kufr-o ze Islām birun sahra-yi ast / Ma-ra be miyan-e an faza sawda-yi astAref cho bedan resid sar ra benahad / Na kufr-o na Islām-o na anja ja-yi ast (Beyond unbelief and Islam, there is a desert plain; In the midst of that expanse, we have a passion/longing. When the knowing mystic arrives there, he lays down his head [in prostration], for there is no unbelief, no Islam, and nowhere in that place.) Many readers have come across Rumi’s oft-quoted immortal statement, “Out beyond ideas of wron
A Modernist Who Wrote About Sex In The Most Ethereal Way (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Time changes, and with changing times, individuals change and evolve as do societal perceptions. What was a taboo a century ago is today's truth. What was frowned upon in the past is a statement of freedom in this age. Our values, morality, ethics, and ethos are not static; they're constantly in a state of flux.

Interestingly, ‘anger’ is one letter short of ‘danger’. But behavioural psychologists are of the view that no (human) emotion is absolutely good or bad. Just like ‘sex’ as a raw emotion can be sublimated into great creativity and become ‘apex’, ‘ang
