The Concept of the ‘Two Weddings’ was beautifully presented in the last episode…

& even more beautifully expressed by the following Mevlana Rumi’s words…

“Our death is our wedding
with eternity.
What is the secret?
“To God we belong and to
Him we shall return.”
For he who is living
in the Light of God,
The death of the carnal
soul is a blessing.

When I die, when my coffin
Is being taken out
Never think that
I am missing this world.
Don’t shed any tears
Don’t lament or feel sorry
I’m not falling
into a monster’s abyss.

When you see
My corpse is being carried
Don’t cry for my leaving
I’m not leaving,
I’m arriving at Eternal Love.

For my funeral:
Call the drummers, the flute blowers,
And tambourine players.
March towards my grave dancing,
Happy, intoxicated, and with hands clapping
So that the people would
know that the friends of God
Always go happy and smiling
Towards the Place of Reunion.

On my funeral day
Don’t say: What a separation!
It’s my time to reunite with
the Beloved.
Why complain about
the settings of the Sun
and the Moon?
Which seed that went under
the earth has failed to grow
up again?

You’ve seen my descent
Now watch my rising!

~Mevlana Rumi~
