Rumi on Gays and Lesbians








Homosexuals are Equal to Heterosexuals in the Eyes of God

~Rumi - Masnavi � Book 6 � Story of Ghulam Ghaus and his abduction by fairies..


In his masterpiece, Masnavi Manavi or Spiritual Couplets of Profound Meanings, Rumi has touched on virtually every aspect of life, including sex and sexuality. Time and again, Rumi argues that sexual relationship between two consenting adults is not only a gift from God, but also a very normal part of life. There are numerous verses and stories in Rumi's Masnavi dealing specifically with 'Sex and sexuality', from platonic love, various highly explicit gay love stories, hard-core sex, and the vile and disgusting pedophilia, to the jaw-dropping and truly shocking Zoophilia or Bestiality- Sexual activity between humans and animals as Rumi has alluded in his famous story, The Maid and the Donkey; Rumi has written on virtually all aspects of sexuality and human sexual behaviors.

 In my opinion, Rumi has courageously and deliberately brought up the 'Sexual Taboos' of the conservative Islamic societies in his poetic outpourings to open up the hearts and minds of the close-minded individuals (Muslims and non-Muslims alike). Rumi teaches us in the following lines that all open manifestations of love and sexual activities between two consenting adults, whether homosexuals or heterosexuals, are not only divinely blessed sources of creativity, but also a natural part of human life. Rumi thus strongly argues that when it comes to sex and sexuality, there's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

 In sum, once you grasp the true meanings of a 13th century Sufi Muslim mystic's 'Sex Education' teachings, then the 20th century Austrian 'Psycho-Sexual' expert, Sigmund Freud comes across like an amateurish and inexperienced intern compared to Rumi's painstakingly detailed, very much "Avant-garde", and highly progressive sex education techniques. Once you get to read, analyze, and fully understand Rumi's 'Sexual Dreams', you simply laugh at childish 'Freudian Psychoanalysis' and the politically correct sexual 'Freudian Dreams'. 

 Rumi was clearly a thousand years ahead of his time, and one of the greatest pioneers of 'Sexual Revolution'.

 Please try reading my following translation without your cultural or religious bias. Or as Rumi would say: "Close your fault seeking eyes and open your spiritual eye."

When God places feminine attributes
Inside a man's body,
He becomes naturally Gay
and seeks a male partner.

 When God places masculine attributes
Inside a woman's body,
She becomes naturally Lesbian 
and seeks a female partner.

 View consensual sex between adults
As a sacred act of love-making,
But condemn non-consensual sex 
As an act of violence and forced rape.

 Sexual assault and sexual violence 
Have absolutely nothing to do 
With a person's sexual orientation.

 A promiscuous person always engages
In irresponsible sexual behaviors,
Even if being the smartest person in the world.

 What is Sexuality?
A controversial topic, 
A sensitive point of view,
A natural erotic attraction
Which brings consenting sexual partners together.

 What God has hidden deep 
Inside the body of a homosexual person,
If He chooses to also hide it inside your body,
You will also change your sexual orientation.

 So as the old saying goes:
'Know your neighbors first before buying a house!'

 If you truly have a pure heart, 
Go and find the love of your life
Regardless of gender.
~ Rumi ~ my translation ~

Rumi and Confucius

"Despite the fact that Confucius and Rumi were born in different periods and places, both were born at a time of social upheaval and political turmoil. Consequently, both thinkers tried to provide the means for their people to overcome the times of difficulty, first by understanding, cultivating, and realizing their human potentialities, and then by transforming themselves, their families, and their societies. Interestingly, Rumi and Confucius share more in common than most people would think and their teachings are still meaningful and relevant to the modern world. The wisdom of Confucius and Rumi provides today�s readers with spiritual resources to overcome the challenges of our time and to build bridges of understanding and dialogue among different cultures and civilizations. This paper examines the core ideas of these two great thinkers and provides anthropocosmic insights into their ideas on nature, family and music."
