In Book Five of the Masnavi, Rumi emphasizes that the deceased do not mourn the loss of physical existence, but rather their spiritual unpreparedness. In Section 72, Rumi explicitly asserts that 'no dead person is full of regret from death; his regret is that his provisions were few' (هیچ مرده نیست پر حسرت ز مرگ / حسرتش آنست کش کم بود برگ). This directly echoes his earlier discourse in Section 30, where he interprets the prophetic tradition that every deceased person wishes they had died sooner to either accelerate their reward or truncate their sins. By connecting these sections, Rumi systematically redefines death not as a tragedy, but as a sobering awakening to the true value of one's spiritual provisions.
