A Meditation on Rumi and the Power of Poetry

This is a superb 10 minute TED Talk on the power of Rumi’s poetry, from Leili Anvar, an exile from suppression in Iran. Leili says whoever we are, wherever we live, we are all in exile, because as celestial souls we belong to another world, to a lost paradise to which we shall return, provided we have developed our spiritual awareness, and our humanity.
