You Mustn’t Be Afraid of Death - meaning Summary

Death as Spiritual Transition

Rumi reassures the reader that death is not to be feared because the true self is a deathless, God-imbued soul. The poem links spiritual love with transformation: embracing the beloved fills one with inner light, makes the world shimmer, and allows endurance of hardship. It contrasts malice and sorrow with the peaceful happiness available through immersed devotion, urging a joyful, trustful posture toward life and loss.
