As Rumi moves closer to discovering his own truth, he encounters transformative figures like Hosmoddin Chelebi, who eventually becomes his chief disciple and successor. Meanwhile, Rumi begins compiling the ghazals that emerged during his time with Shams of Tabriz—verses that would later be immortalized in the Divan-e-Shams.

After Shams' final disappearance, Rumi roams the streets of Konya, restless and alone. In solitude and among Sufis, he tries to recreate the moments once shared with Shams, but nothing compares. Then, in an ecstatic whirl, the timeless secret reveals itself—just as it has to prophets, philosophers, and mystics before him.
