What is Rumi on Quarrelling and Unity about?
Rumi tells a story of four men arguing over grapes, each calling them by a different name in their native language. They come to blows in their disagreement over the name, not understanding the hidden meaning. Had a master of languages been there, he could have reconciled them by explaining they are all referring to the same fruit, and used his wisdom to satisfy all their desires from a single coin instead of fighting. The poem suggests that religious disputes often arise from differences in terminology rat
