The Seven Valleys
The Seven Valleys, written by Rumi, describe the spiritual journey of the soul seeking union with the divine. Each valley represents a stage of inner development: starting with yearning and sincere desire, progressing through knowledge, love, understanding, independence, unity, and finally, the state of complete union and divine ecstasy. These stages reflect the evolving consciousness and efforts to transcend ego and attain spiritual fulfillment. The text offers guidance on overcoming obstacles and embracing love and devotion as paths toward higher spiritual realization.
