Islamic Parables - Tales from Yunus Emre's Spiritual World and the Tapduk Emre Lodge

To Those Who Struggle with Anxiety and Worry: A Spiritual Solution

"Anxiety and worry are among the most common psychological problems brought about by modern life. Sometimes, dealing with these emotions may seem difficult, but it is possible to find peace in your heart through a spiritual journey. The power of love that distances from duality can help overcome anxieties. This tale will offer hope and a solution filled with love to hearts that are troubled. Join this journey to discover ways to make peace with your emotions and turn towards true love."

Yunus Emre was striving to create a collection in the lodge. In an environment where everyone debated different beliefs, a dervish he knew well came to him and said, 'Love means to move away from duality.' Influenced by these words, Yunus created a fictional story: Once upon a time, a river set out to meet the sea. However, it was difficult to make this visit on a path filled with currents, rocks, and obstacles. Nevertheless, the river managed to reach the sea by overcoming all obstacles. This became a concrete example of how love appears when it moves away from duality. To reach love with affection means to be connected to one another.
