When I Die – Rumi Poem

We are always afraid of death. Death of our loved ones, and even more so, death of our self.

But why?

As Rumi so eloquently expresses in one of the best Rumi quotes: "a grave is only a curtain for the paradise behind."

We become so attached to this world and to our material body and sense of self, that the thought of losing it all and ultimately being seen as "nothing" devastates and frightens us—to the point that we will do anything to avoid thinking or talking about death.

But as with everything in life, if we do not understand one thing, we cannot appreciate its opposite. If we do not give death our time, attention, and respect, we will never truly appreciate our life.

It is death that makes life meaningful.

And so, I hope you all enjoy this wonderful Rumi poem, and use it as a reference for whenever you or a loved one are approaching death and feel petrified, devastated, and hopeless.
