The flame of the Spirit within the niche of Body

Rumi in first assembly of his Majālise Sabae (Seven Assemblies) explains the truth of bismillāh (in the name of God) and its various meanings (Maj. 33-35). But his Mathnawīye Manawī which Aflākī in his Manāqib (vol 2, p. 739) describes it as 'illuminating the mysteries of Quran', has not been commenced with bismillāh but also readers see no words such 'in memory of God', 'in the name of God' and etc in the opening poems. Why does Rumi commence his masterpiece with 'listen' instead of bismillāh and similar words? What is the message to which we must listen and which ear can hearken to Rumi's message? In present article, we try to deal with the fact that what is the hearing and its preconditions for Rumi.
