Rumi on self-adoration #quote #rumi #persianpoets #sufimystic #whosaidthat

Jane’s Persian obsession continued: For some time, like everyone, I adored myself, Blind to others, I kept hearing my own name. Rumi This quote is from Elif Shafak’s novel The Forty Rules of Love, which, on my second read-through, is better than on the first. I’m still not sure why it

Tim Parks Tim Parks is a British novelist whom I encountered through his memoir Teach Us To Stand Still, from which this quote is taken, which he (or his publisher) calls “a sceptic’s guide to health and healing.”
