"What happened?" Kemal asked.
Kemal wept. "But how do I help him, then?"
In that moment, he saw a vision: his father was no longer struggling with a rope. He was sitting beneath a tree, laughing. The frayed rope had turned into a garland of light around his neck.
Rumi placed a hand on his heart. "Your father’s suffering is not his sin. It is your knot. He is trapped because you still see him as a separate 'someone' who failed. To free him, you must free yourself from the illusion of separation."
Confused, Kemal woke and rushed to the lodge of Rumi. He found the poet not in a mosque, but in a garden, watching a rosebush shed its petals.
