The Jewish King and the Fire-Idol | The Masnavi

A merciless king raises an idol beside a blazing fire and decrees that all who refuse to bow will burn, until a child cast into the flames cries out for his mother to come in.

"Come in, O mother: I am happy here, although in appearance I am amidst the fire."

Themes: faith and sacrifice, the idol of the self, divine love, death rebirth, justice tyranny, surrender tawakkul
