Why should I seek? I am the same as He.
His essence speaks through me.
I have been searching for myself!
Iran's VP and Head of ICCHTO, Rahim Mashaie, has laid an organizational plan for a celebration to honor Molana's (Rumi) 800th birthday.
Iran will honor the Persian poet and the Sufi sage, Molana Jalal ad-Din Mohammed Balkhi, in hope to pay great respect to his memory before the end of 2007.
The decision was finalized following the UNESCO resolution calling for a commemoration on his behalf in observing the 800th anniversary of the world-renowned philosopher's birth.
In accordance to President Ahmadinejad's decision, Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICCHTO) is responsible for planning the grand events and programs in this regard which will shortly take place across the country, Mashaie stated.
Molana advocated tolerance, reason, and access to knowledge through love. His mystical relationship to Islam produced masterpieces, which still find relevance in today's world.
He is remembered for his beautiful and famous poems dealing with his eternal preoccupation with mysticism.
