Listen Later

The audio excerpts from Nezami Ganjavi's poem offer reflections on the significance of the new year (Nowruz) for renewal and spiritual growth. The speaker emphasizes planning for personal improvement, including physical health, relationships, and intellectual pursuits like reading the Quran and classic literature. Overcoming negative traits like envy, anger, and greed is encouraged in favor of cultivating positive qualities such as love, kindness, and service to others. The discourse suggests that true happiness and fulfillment come from aligning oneself with divine principles and striving for inner beauty and wisdom, rather than fleeting material pleasures. Ultimately, the new year is presented as an opportunity for transformative change, urging listeners to shed negativity and embrace a path of righteousness and contribution.
