SEB-I ARUS MEVLANA AND KONYA TOUR (14-15.12.2025)

"Be like the sun in compassion and mercy.

Be like the night in covering the shame.

Be like a stream in kindness and generosity

Be as dead in anger, in irritability

Be like the earth in humility, in modesty

Either appear as you are or be what you appear to be"

Hz. Mevlana was an extraordinary teacher to the people and conveyed his teachings to his students and the people of his time by using reason and philosophical method, and his works are read and appreciated worldwide today. His humility has won the hearts of all people. Hz. Mevlana compares death to a wedding and calls it ‘Şeb-i Arus’, that is, ‘Wedding Night’. After his death, he wishes it to be in a festive mood, rather than a mourning, since he will join Love to Hakk.
