[00:00:15]People discovered that when they randomly opened his book of poems during tough times, they found exactly the guidance they needed. This practice, called Fal-e Hafez, became a sacred tradition. Facing a difficult decision, open to any page, the verse you land on reveals your answer. Hafez wrote about wine, roses, and earthly pleasures, but beneath every line lay deeper spiritual wisdom. His poetry works on two levels.

[00:00:41]The surface speaks to human joy. The depths reveal divine truth. Today, his tomb in Iran remains a pilgrimage site.
