Welcome to Restart 94. The political predictions of Shah Nematollah Vali have come to pass: the president has been re-elected, as foretold. Now, the clock is ticking. We issue a 40-day ultimatum for the release of political prisoners. If this demand is not met, the country will enter Phase Two—a period of severe discipline and "shocking revelations."

This episode justifies the radical call for civil disobedience: do not pay your water and electricity bills. Guided by Saadi'sBustan, we explain the Sufi edict to "consume the blood and wealth of the tormentor." Unlike religions that preach passivity, mysticism declares that "mercy to a tyrant is tyranny over the world."

We then decode Rumi's famous tale of the Grocer and the Parrot. The parrot, representing the clergy and imitators, spills the oil of spiritual wealth and then falsely compares its baldness to that of a dervish. Learn the danger of false analogy (Qiyas) and why you must distinguish between the "Milk" (superficial knowledge) and the "Lion" (spiritual power). The parrot mimics; the Lion hunts. Do not confuse the two.
