@@Dawit1385 seems like the point is obvious in the intended interpretation of you getting over it and eventually finding something new. That's easy. My point is the initial thing is yet lost. This is no more profound than "you'll get over it eventually"

"I see now that goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is not such a thing as separation." Rumi

@@thevirtualcraftsman2326 I am saying the same thing but i articulate it differently because not every time you try to be a noble friend to someone, will you get a friend. Only some people will value your friendship.
@Sandip Roy I guess its implying how most of us remain in our own created prisons, even though we can get out. We are the ones in the end of the day that is blocking us from our own potential.
@Sandip Roy The self, or the ego is the prison, introspection is the door. Looking inwards, studying yourself and your own motivations. That's the process of opening the door.
@Sandip Roy All good explanations from others here. I can offer example: Dont be affraid to follow you dreams, talk to that girl, apply for that job, dream and dream big and be free in the world of love and light. Everything is possible, you are a creator so create with intensions and with appreciations. Have NO FEAR! The other side of this is your prison.
Because it's comfortable in here, Rumi. And because I'm scared and weak. Because I'm tired of feeling hurt and overwhelmed. Because I'm too busy holding onto what should be than what is. Because I cannot trust myself.
I think it means that when we are searching for our value we won't find it, it is something that we will realise along the way.. correct me if im wrong 😅
I really want non-Persians to know they're only getting a small portion of the joy when reading Rumi's poems. It's because in Persian those verses actually rhyme with each other and have a dancing rhythm. I mean, when you're reading Rumi's poems in Persian, you're enjoying the meaning, listening to a natural music, and dancing at the same time! It's extremely joyous. No wonder a dancing mystical sect came out of it. I totally recommend you to learn some Persian to boost the joy.
Even though I don't understand it, the language sounds beautiful. This was made by an English-Iranian artist I like: th-cam.com/video/OdIAYP7fEuo/w-d-xo.html

i think its because people dont like it when its mixed with religion, i guess that is where the problem is, like in the west, when many quotes are based on the christian religion and yet people who introduce the quotes dont use it as a means to spread or glorify the religion, that is how i see the problem.
@@chillingongreens nobody, because that too much of a work for someone to give to someone who doesn't work as much as himself. Its futile and useless, there's no equal reward to be return. Nothing matters, just embrace chaos,fredoom and crazyness.
If you want to find love you must first love yourself. Be okay with who you are and just being with yourself. You'll attract love a lot more naturally that way, neediness is one the biggest things that pushes love away.
Neediness is not the problem. Neither is loving ourselves. People change, situation change. You can be non needy at one point, and then become needy at another point in the relationship. You might love yourself at the moment, while you might feel insecure or jealousy at another point in time. You need to accept the situation in acquiesce. People can stop loving you, betray you, everything is a possibility in this life. Love is just an emotion in the moment, affection might be linger longer, but none is permanent.
@Kaberi Gomes the people who have raised me have passed on...the only woman I had loved, left me almost ten years ago. But are these loves not permanent ? I may never see these people again, that had loved me so much, but that love still lives on in my heart. Those memories and feelings will be with me until I too pass on. So we should not look at love as an impermanent thing, or something that will soon leave and hurt us. As another commenter had quoted above, "I see now that goodbyes are only for those that love with their eyes, because for those who love with heart and soul, there is not such a thing as seperation." -Rumi
@@dfabe5346 You are completely missing the point, your evidence that '' Love should be EXPECTED from people who raise us or how long we we carry love for them is infinite '' and your evidence is yourself, a sample size of one out of 1000 crore people in this earth. What about those children whose mother couldn't love them? or children who couldn't love their parents? The lesson is 'Love' should never be expected from people and the fact that it can always change, get lost, left behind. No one is challenging you personally that you cannot love your partner or parents with your whole heart or remember them when they are gone. But how the Human spirit is vulnerable to this problem, this situation, where only the unconditional love we can ever have is with GOD.
@@kaberigomes2117 I think we are just on a different page here, I never said love should be expected. Just that we should not denounce love for and from others, and that the love we feel is real and always will be with us. That is all
@@dfabe5346No one denounces love by saying 'I want Hate from you now', and Love is as real as every other emotion, not more real, not less. We feel it just as strongly as jealousy or sadness. But nothing will be always with us. Everything is transient, ephemeral, only for short duration - good and bad days, situation, etc. - that's the discovery that made Buddha enlightened. There will be many times in your life, when you're so deep in your problem, you will totally forget your foster mother, and be sunk in worldly sadness. Would that mean your love has ended? NO. But the fact that you cannot carry this emotion, at the same intensity throughout the life..
"The wound is the place where Light enters you" - Rumi This words triggered me into realization when I was coping up with severe depression few years ago
I mean that's how i met my amazing my partner honestly, i stopped seeking someone and focused on trying to make myself better and he sought me out. Now he's helped me heal from alot of stuff but even then im attempting and practicing be independent.
@sailor soul That's what im working on, lifes a journey and still struggling with alot of issues like everyone else. Even i have contemplated the fact he may die one day, maybe even involving issues with the gun shot he took to the head years ago. "What ought one to say then as hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this." Epictetus
Not sure why, but I always react with a mini-cringe when someone describes his or her partner as "amazing" or "awesome". But I understand you feel blessed having met this person and are expressing gratitude and joy so I don't wish to rain on your parade.The Bible says pride goeth before a fall, and sometimes over-idealizing another person does too. Hopefully you will still love this person when they fall short of amazing or awesome, which is more rare.
@@FriendofDorothy right now my partner, friends, and family have been helping me for the most part with self forgiving and not being too hard on myself whenever i fuck up. But yeah that's why he's been teaching me cooking and i try to remember what we have could be temporary and i should really enjoy the now with him and everyone else i know.
I think love is something internal. You can turn the whole world upside down, you will never find love as long as you don't look within yourself. Don't look outside for what is inside. I think it's the same with fear : you can't run away from something that is inside of you.
Thank you for addressing Rumi. I understood the philosophy of loving the Divine like this. There is no point in getting attached to anything or anyone in this material world because everything is mortal. Departure and seperation will always come, in one way or the other. The best thing is to attach yourself to the Divine, the one that never dies, the one that never forsakes us. There is still pain in separation. But it doesn't lead people of God into desperation because they know, all souls meet eventually in another space and time.
Thank you for your explanation. I read that one of the differences between 'non-Sufi' Muslims and Sufis is that non-Sufi Muslims use this life to prepare for union with God in the Afterlife, but Sufis try to unite with God in this life. I liked that comparison.
It is beautiful how you study all schools of thought thoroughly. To my understanding Sufi muslims added a philosophical explanation to religion. Non-sufi muslims don't put much thought into hidden meanings behind worship. They stick to the scripture more literally or practically. Becoming in union with God means putting the Divine before and above everything. It is very much like the idea of becoming ego-less in Buddhism. Letting go of all attachments except that with God
@@Einzelgänger Unfortunately, Islam in its true essense has been so misunderstood, that we have to use terms such as Sufi non Sufi muslims. The holder of the true gnosis of Islam was held by Prophet Mohammad and his cousin Ali, Which Rumi speaks of in very high and mystical reverence in his poetries, specially Ali Ibn Abi Talib. " Your sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it and your remedy is within you, but you do not sense it. You presume you are a small entity, but within you is enfolded the entire Universe. You are indeed the evident book, by whose alphabet’s the hidden becomes manifest. Therefore you have no need to look beyond yourself. What you seek is within you, if only you reflect." - Ali Ibn Abi Talib The whole Islamic prayer is given as a gift so you can experience the Ascension Journey the Prophet did, if done properly. That is why you have to pray 5 times a day, so maybe you will experience one thing in an instant, or maybe the whole thing. But the highest from of connection with God , is the Dhikr (Remembrance ) of the Name Allah repeatedly at all times in your mind, even while talking, which is teaching you deep mindfulness at all time. The Dhikr too is profound in Rumis poetry, as the way to connect with God and to keep remembering his name in your mind, so maybe you will experience a break thru.
Wrong Lama El Charif! Do not attach yourself to the Divine. There is no *YOU* that attach to anything or anyone to begin with. Learn this concept... u r in wayward path now.
Please, never stop making videos! You've saved my life several times, and I'm not the only one to say this! I'm very grateful for all your work, Einzelgänger!
But how is it unconditional. I don't see this in practical life. Ideally yes this is what we want but we do not see. Instead, love is happening between 2 equals. For example take relationship between man and woman. Unconditional love is possible only when our logic does not interfere with emotions and that is a very very rare scenario.
@@manoj9596 he is referring to love towards existance and being itself, its a state you reach when you allow yourself to transcend the material way of life and by meditation. And yes logic is something which intervenes, also knowledge about certain things intervenes with the experience of unconditional love. But the point is, to commit yourself to awareness even when you feel that logic tries to hinder you in realizing this. Sometimes being free from concepts of the mind is that what we seek
@@manoj9596 It is conditional as long as you take it personally. The conditions are fixed by the persona. This is drama, and love does not have anything to do with it. Drama is a fictional story, given by our preferences, expectation and interpretations.This is not real. The complete acceptance (non resistence) of things as they are is love. The complete acceptance of who we are is love. This can't be conditional. Love is who we are.
@@roquevera9831 yeah the original quality of soul is love and peace. One can feel that for some split seconds at times where our mind's thoughts and experiential emotions are not interfering with it. As we grow it gets corrupted and manipulated by our own thoughts and experiences. Most of the times it is pain and as someone said ...."human behaviour is largely shaped around avoidance of pain." My actual agenda of writing this: In my personal experience, even if i have appropriate wisdom , it is still difficult to move beyond personal experiences. Therefore having wisdom is not enough for having best experiences and choices. For our emotional mind, this all knowledge and wisdom just doesn't seem to matter if soul is in hurt and pain. So we need to know how to heal first. But i am very positive...may be someday, most of us shall experience the same just like these sages did.
@@manoj9596 Who is that wich is suffering? Is it really you? Are you someone in joy and someone else in pain? You are not your experiences. You are not anything that comes and goes. You are always the same, no matter what. You will never know how to heal, because there is nothing to heal. You are already heal. In fact, you never got sick. The only problem is that you are beliving that you are a person defined by its experiences. Then you enter a neverending drama: you are never enough, you are never satisfied. But you don't need anything, you already have it. Don't you see? Are you in there? There is no "someday", there is only now. Anything else than now is just in the mind. You don't have to wait until some conditions are met. This will never come. Don't be harsh with yourself. Blindly Love who you are and then you will see. You will see who you are and be as you are.
People need to first learn how to love themselves without ego otherwise they are seeking from a place of lack which brings them more lack. This is the problem with most of humanity, they are codependent empty vessels looking to be filled with love by other empty vessels.
Well-said!! i loved the video and this philosophy, too. I’m working towards both right now. Learning to know and love myself fully (I do the same with others), while also slowly releasing (unhealthy) attachment to people and things.
If you seek love, you need to return to your quiet, inner space and an insight will arise, that you are love. It arises from being aware, not from doing, not from effort.
I believe part of letting go of worldly possessions is not about "trying" to let go of things that do make you happy in life. Being grateful and joyous for the things you have, doing the things you want to, will help lead you to understanding how to let go. Never force anything
"Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear." -Rumi That quote is hanging on my wall, I usually check and think about it.
@@cannibale101 Actually, I don't find so much different meanings: Sun is generous about its sunshine. It is able to burn all of us, but it prefers to give life to earth. Night covers everything with its darkness, we should cover others' fault(shame), because the opposite of this we can count as a bullying and that's not cool. Be like running water(stream), because it always keeps giving water to villages. Be death for rage and anger, because death can't be angry. Be like earth(soil), because it is lying our foots, but it gives life to earth too, anyway. Those are my thoughts. And I think translation is little bit problematic or I found a problematic translation(Idk). However, the most hard part is "Appear as you are, be as you appear." I think it is hard to answer this question: "Who am really I?" If we don't answer this question, how can we know we became the true self? Ok, I will explain this phrase with simple way and I won't make philosophy: Be yourself! If we say our inner world is "X" and our appearance to others is "Y", we should make X=Y. That's it. But, other questions are hard to answer and they are changing time to time: "Do I have to be mercy to all?", "Do I have to be fair to all even the evils?", "What if I am a bad person and I appear as I am to others, I won't be generous or mercy?" You can make those questions more, but in the end, I think being good and wise brings peace to our hearths. (I said wise, because wise persons always knows how to behave against calculating persons and protect themselves without be harmed.)
Try getting into meditating. It's difficult at first, but it gives you a platform to stop resisting/forcing, and let things in your mind settle and sediment. This is a very peaceful state and you will find compassion within you and around you.
Also detach from a materialistic viewpoint of life, that all there is is matter etc. Its no coincidence that materialism can be used in two ways. But aside from that meditate, spent time in nature by just being aware of your surroundings and allow yourself to tap into your potential, practice child like curiosity towards life and cherish every small bit in life. We have more to offer than we believe.
Because the idol is your face, I have become an idolater. Because the wine is from your cup, I’ve become a drunkard. In the existence of your love, I have become non-existent. This non-existence, linked to you, is better than all existence. -Rumi This is my favourite poem of his.
When we hear the word 'love,' we think of every story that's main point is that love is pain and that it's best to avoid it, but Rumi's work and insight is definitely quite refreshing.
I love YOU man. You're an excellent role model for people like me. Constantly worried about various things that don't matter. When I watch your videos I feel like I can grasp the sense of peace you speak of, even if only for a time
You have an uncanny ability to release videos pertaining to exact developments I'm experiencing in my own life. Many thanks as always if only for showing that I'm not the only one walking this path. If there is one thing I would like to point out for anyone facing similar reflections, it has been my experience that we don't lose anything in the world in finding the heart of emptiness except for the ideas and distinctions we hold. You'll never lose what was never separate.
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. Rumi ❤️
Love this from rumi..always gives me comfort..whenever I feel sad or down that day I remember this poem and tell this to myself that this sadness won't last forever...its just a fleeting feeling..it too shall pass
As a muslim I deeply appreciate Einzelgänger making a video about a sufi such as rumi. Also if you guys are maybe interested in the islam and just want to understand us, I would recommend you another great muslim philosopher. His name is Said Nursi, but he is commonly referred as Bediüzzaman(it is a name given by his people to him and means the wonder of time). He has a line of Books called Risale i Nur. They are basically an accumulation of the quran and hadiths of the prophet into mostly stories as allegories, in which he articulates the meaning behind what was said. The Risalei Nur starts with Sözler(turkish for Words) but you can start anywhere you like. also if Einzelgänger reads this I hope you would make avideo with his philosophy.
Bizi rezil etmek için can atıyorsunuz değil mi?? Türkler ve Türklükden neden bu kadar nefret ediyorsunuz? Neden onca insanın içinde "kurdistan tealiye" üye olmuş olan ve dergileri için yazı yazmış olan o dönemin pkklisina değer veriyorsunuz??? Yıldız sarayının hekiminin muayenesi sonucu DELI raporu almış olan birisini filozof olarak adlandırmanın açıklaması nedir??? Ki o dönem en iyi ve başarılı doktorların sarayda olduğunu ve padişaha hizmet ettiğini unutmamak gerek.
Rumi's philosophies and thoughts really express what I truly thought this whole time too. He expressed it really well and understandable to people. I respect him. Once you feel this love, the worldly love just not as interesting anymore. And you feel the peace of all peace.
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” -Rumi💛
I’m a big fan of Rumi’s philosophy and totally agree that love is the essence of our being. When you love somebody unconditionally, this love does not need gasoline to keep the flame of love burning. Unconditional love is, as Rumi says so beautifully, a path to God.
I've been searching about non-attachment, and what love really is (or what it isn't) because it's been "working against me." Thank you for making this video! 💙 It's almost a year since I've bumped into your channel; I'm very grateful for it.
True love is the trust that the divine will always provide us of the things we need it, when we need it. Whether this is in the form of materials or the form of insights. This video was very informative and interesting! Thanks!!
The love that is within ones own soul, the love that radiates your own life force. True internal love and passion for life itself but nothing material at the same time. Wow it makes so much sense
Love is at the core of us and we are already connected to it, therefore to “seek it” only implies separation and takes you further away from it. When you realize you are already “there” is when you are immersed in it and it washes over you. You just have to allow it as Rumi says. Love is unconditional. It is not some illusive, mystical force or something worthy of only gurus.
Without love There is no joy. Without joy There is no creation. Without creation There is nothing. Therefore, Love is das force that creates das universe. But wait: Love cannot survive without trust; Trust is das beste of relationship. Hence, Faith is de force that creates das universe. Das knight of faith is a dancer with high elevation.
To make it simple: It's a belief that there is someone up there who loves us unconditionally. If we love that Allah back, we will automatically have a great attitude towards ourselves and our lives. We will think that everything is happening for good. Even if a situation is bad in others eyes, as a lover we'll see the goods that Allah kept for us hidden in the bad situation (e.g., a situation made me know about myself more and i know where i react and where to work on myself). If a person is able to love Allah back, he is in the ocean of the greatest success, peace, love, happiness, prosperity, growth, health, wealth and so on.
I am your lover, come to my side, I will open the gate to your love. Come settle with me, let us be neighbors to the stars. You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love. Even so, you have always been connected to me. Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest. I am life itself. You have been a prisoner of a little pond, I am the ocean and its turbulent flood. Come merge with me, leave this world of ignorance. Be with me, I will open the gate to your love. Rumi
I'm happy that one of my favourite channels on youtube that literally changed my life talks about Rumi. I love Rumi however, I could never really grasp his words to a full extend. Even after watching this video, it gives me more questionmarks
Thank you for this wonderful video! As a student currently writing a thesis on the Neoplatonic traits in the concept of Love in the work of medieval mystic Marguerite Porete, it is really amazing to see how much of these ideas align with Rumi's. Marguerite wrote about mystical union with the divine through Love and was condemned to the stake as a heretic for it. Imagine that...
I'm from Persia (Iran) & it's our honor that you are intersted in our philosopher ! about Rumi , maybe you can understand his poems but his original Persian poems are fantastic !
@@xarov9179 Yeah, and some people consider him as Afghan, since he was born in present-day Afghanistan. ahaha all the neighbours are trying to claim him
@@mehdin7520 ur funny! But fact is ur fact is correct as history is history.... But honestly are we all not humans? So why do all these labels divide us instead of LOVE UNITING US??? IS THAT THE JAR HE SPEAKS OF??? THE CHAINS? RUMI WAS UNIQUE IN THINKING THINK OUTSIDE THE IMAGINARY BORDers;) Peace love unity & respect!
Thanks for this beautiful compilation. I needed to remember this love today! I grew up with Mevlana’s poems, thats how we call him in Turkey. And yes I agree with some friends below, even thou I dont know Persian, in old Turkish language translations of Rumi's works sound crazy aesthetic! Cannot reading him in original language is unfortunately the same pain I feel how I can never read Dostoyevski in Russian. In Konya, where he died, they use to organize huge get togethers each year in December, coinciding his departure from World ☺; Called “Vuslat Anniversary” Vuslat meaning the “ecstatic joy of meeting with beloved”. For him, meeting with Allah. Still, I wanna put some words on the experiences Rumi emphasises "love is everywhere".. It is actually. But we have way too crowded mind to see/feel/touch/hear/taste it. Mind rattles and creates false belief filters. Then we are not able to experience the world as it is. Unfortunately as a result, we just experience our own crooked version of reality, which forces us to search love outside. We need to clean our subconscious mind somehow. Everyone should clean their lenses :) Whatever works for his/her. For me TM and NLP helped a lot. + staying alone in the nature and hear trees and bees and grasses speak for themselves.. Benefits of Pandemia :)) Love & greetings to you all!
Love's goal is only (to experience) the attraction exerted by the Beloved. 💚 Rumi

Seek, and you'll find. That's the motto and the raison d'être of all dating apps, websites and enterprises. The reason why monks, hermits and such don't seek company is because they don't want to be found. It's effective.
In generosity and helpfulness, be like a stream. In compassion and mercy, be like the Sun. In covering up others' faults, be like the night. In rage and anger, be like the dead. In modesty and humility, be like the earth. In tolerance, be like the sea. Either appear the way you are or be the way you appear to be. Mevlana C. Rumi Rumi pertains to where Mevlana is from. (Much like van Gogh,van Schaik) .His proper name is Mevlana Celaleddin (Rumi).In Turkey we simply refer to him as Mevlana.
Very well made video! just a small note. The whirling which the dervish do , was not instructed by Rumi. The whirling came about when he had a mystical experience while visiting the copper bazaar, when all of a sudden the sound of the copper being struck by hammer was experienced as God's praise from all around him, Hence he started whirling automatically in awe ! But what the dervish do is the opposite ! :D They try to whirl to get the experience, where as Rumi experienced something profound that made him whirl !
It might be easier than you think. I believe this is the natural inclination of the human heart. We learn most things that makes us feel separate. We are made to think we are disconnected and thus we end up feeling lonely.
"There is force within that gives you life, seek that" "My soul sister and brother, stop acting so small, YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE IN ECSTATIC MOTION" I... Am ... That, I Am.

@@ayoubzahiri1918 now that’s inaccurate. Sufism is based on the Islamic religion. Its a branch of Islam and Rumi is well aware of it. You cant just take a quote from Rumi and came up with that conclusion. Rumi has lived his whole life a Muslim with his spiritual partner Shams of Tabriz. Both of them are Muslims and practice Islam. Mysticism is not to be understood by thinking. It is a way of life that they have lived and not to be concluded by your opinion of the matter. You have to live the way the saints lived.

I won’t force you to be like me, I hoped that you will find what you truly look for one day. Until then, please keep searching for the truth and walk on the light. Assalammualaikum and take care.
Note: I'd encourage googling "whitewashing of Rumi" to get a better perspective of his poems. A lot of his works had been translated out of context or even with inaccurate translations to make it more pop culture friendly. Rumi essentially is an islamic sufist, a lot of his work are related to the spiritual journey from within. Some modern day translations of his work made his poems sound like they are drunk in love when that is not the case, rather he is communicating the language of the heart. I hope my fellow readers will feel more enlightened and have a fresh perspective to his works

As the Buddha said, to find a noble friend, be a noble friend
Be good
Noble
And impressive now-
While it is still matter.
While that is true, a better idea would be give more into the world, and you will get some of your efforts being rewarded. 💁♂️
@@kaberigomes2117 It is essentially the same idea. You seem to be saying to be a noble friend to the world. Not a bad suggestion at all.
@@thevirtualcraftsman2326 I am saying the same thing but i articulate it differently because not every time you try to be a noble friend to someone, will you get a friend. Only some people will value your friendship.
@@kaberigomes2117 I think you miss out on the original point when you rely on others to accept you as a noble friend. Be one to yourself.
*"Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?"*
- Rumi
@Sandip Roy I guess its implying how most of us remain in our own created prisons, even though we can get out. We are the ones in the end of the day that is blocking us from our own potential.
Also - “Why do you act so small; you are the universe in ecstatic motion “
@Sandip Roy The self, or the ego is the prison, introspection is the door. Looking inwards, studying yourself and your own motivations. That's the process of opening the door.
@Sandip Roy All good explanations from others here. I can offer example: Dont be affraid to follow you dreams, talk to that girl, apply for that job, dream and dream big and be free in the world of love and light. Everything is possible, you are a creator so create with intensions and with appreciations. Have NO FEAR!
The other side of this is your prison.
Because it's comfortable in here, Rumi.
And because I'm scared and weak. Because I'm tired of feeling hurt and overwhelmed. Because I'm too busy holding onto what should be than what is.
Because I cannot trust myself.
When I think I am,
I find myself worthless.
When I think I am not,
I find my value.
-Rumi
I wonder the meaning behind those words...
What does this mean?
Huh? I don’t quite understand this.
it means we search our value at what we lack.
I think it means that when we are searching for our value we won't find it, it is something that we will realise along the way.. correct me if im wrong 😅
I really want non-Persians to know they're only getting a small portion of the joy when reading Rumi's poems. It's because in Persian those verses actually rhyme with each other and have a dancing rhythm. I mean, when you're reading Rumi's poems in Persian, you're enjoying the meaning, listening to a natural music, and dancing at the same time!
It's extremely joyous. No wonder a dancing mystical sect came out of it.
I totally recommend you to learn some Persian to boost the joy.
Even though I don't understand it, the language sounds beautiful. This was made by an English-Iranian artist I like: th-cam.com/video/OdIAYP7fEuo/w-d-xo.html
@@Einzelgänger Yeas but remember that one is from Sa'adi not Rumi. Please listen to this and I guess you'll hear the rhythm! th-cam.com/video/vtfI5u6Qp5M/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=EngineeringMath
i think its because people dont like it when its mixed with religion, i guess that is where the problem is, like in the west, when many quotes are based on the christian religion and yet people who introduce the quotes dont use it as a means to spread or glorify the religion, that is how i see the problem.
what to do with Persian, Rumi was from Balkh Afghanistan and he was a Tajik.He would speak Dari(Parsi).
@@MMATopGs Tajikstan and afghanistan were a part of Iran back then. He was Persian.

" what you seek is seeking you "
- Rumi
Ok, but did you really get it , or just quoting Rumi's poem ?
What you seeking is "you".
Once you walk the path, the path appears. -Rumi
"What hurts you blesses you , Darkness is your candle" ❤️
-Rumi
If you want to find love you must first love yourself. Be okay with who you are and just being with yourself. You'll attract love a lot more naturally that way, neediness is one the biggest things that pushes love away.
Neediness is not the problem. Neither is loving ourselves.
People change, situation change.
You can be non needy at one point, and then become needy at another point in the relationship.
You might love yourself at the moment, while you might feel insecure or jealousy at another point in time.
You need to accept the situation in acquiesce. People can stop loving you, betray you, everything is a possibility in this life.
Love is just an emotion in the moment, affection might be linger longer, but none is permanent.
@Kaberi Gomes the people who have raised me have passed on...the only woman I had loved, left me almost ten years ago. But are these loves not permanent ? I may never see these people again, that had loved me so much, but that love still lives on in my heart. Those memories and feelings will be with me until I too pass on. So we should not look at love as an impermanent thing, or something that will soon leave and hurt us. As another commenter had quoted above, "I see now that goodbyes are only for those that love with their eyes, because for those who love with heart and soul, there is not such a thing as seperation." -Rumi
@@dfabe5346 You are completely missing the point, your evidence that
'' Love should be EXPECTED from people who raise us or how long we we carry love for them is infinite '' and your evidence is yourself, a sample size of one out of 1000 crore people in this earth. What about those children whose mother couldn't love them? or children who couldn't love their parents?
The lesson is 'Love' should never be expected from people and the fact that it can always change, get lost, left behind.
No one is challenging you personally that you cannot love your partner or parents with your whole heart or remember them when they are gone. But how the Human spirit is vulnerable to this problem, this situation, where only the unconditional love we can ever have is with GOD.
@@kaberigomes2117 I think we are just on a different page here, I never said love should be expected. Just that we should not denounce love for and from others, and that the love we feel is real and always will be with us. That is all
@@dfabe5346No one denounces love by saying 'I want Hate from you now', and Love is as real as every other emotion, not more real, not less. We feel it just as strongly as jealousy or sadness.
But nothing will be always with us.
Everything is transient, ephemeral, only for short duration - good and bad days, situation, etc. - that's the discovery that made Buddha enlightened.
There will be many times in your life, when you're so deep in your problem, you will totally forget your foster mother, and be sunk in worldly sadness. Would that mean your love has ended? NO. But the fact that you cannot carry this emotion, at the same intensity throughout the life..

"The wound is the place where Light enters you"
- Rumi
This words triggered me into realization when I was coping up with severe depression few years ago
Even in a wound
There is a power to heal.
The power to heal my body is from within.
Wonderful! 🌟
Eyes : Are we a joke to you?
I mean that's how i met my amazing my partner honestly, i stopped seeking someone and focused on trying to make myself better and he sought me out. Now he's helped me heal from alot of stuff but even then im attempting and practicing be independent.
@sailor soul That's what im working on, lifes a journey and still struggling with alot of issues like everyone else. Even i have contemplated the fact he may die one day, maybe even involving issues with the gun shot he took to the head years ago. "What ought one to say then as hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this." Epictetus
Not sure why, but I always react with a mini-cringe when someone describes his or her partner as "amazing" or "awesome". But I understand you feel blessed having met this person and are expressing gratitude and joy so I don't wish to rain on your parade.The Bible says pride goeth before a fall, and sometimes over-idealizing another person does too. Hopefully you will still love this person when they fall short of amazing or awesome, which is more rare.
@@FriendofDorothy right now my partner, friends, and family have been helping me for the most part with self forgiving and not being too hard on myself whenever i fuck up. But yeah that's why he's been teaching me cooking and i try to remember what we have could be temporary and i should really enjoy the now with him and everyone else i know.
“We don’t need to seek love, we just have to stop resisting it” 🌱✨ thank u, your work inspires me!
I think love is something internal. You can turn the whole world upside down, you will never find love as long as you don't look within yourself. Don't look outside for what is inside. I think it's the same with fear : you can't run away from something that is inside of you.
Thank you for addressing Rumi.
I understood the philosophy of loving the Divine like this.
There is no point in getting attached to anything or anyone in this material world because everything is mortal.
Departure and seperation will always come, in one way or the other.
The best thing is to attach yourself to the Divine, the one that never dies, the one that never forsakes us.
There is still pain in separation.
But it doesn't lead people of God into desperation because they know, all souls meet eventually in another space and time.
Thank you for your explanation. I read that one of the differences between 'non-Sufi' Muslims and Sufis is that non-Sufi Muslims use this life to prepare for union with God in the Afterlife, but Sufis try to unite with God in this life. I liked that comparison.
This life on earth is das beste preparation for heaven.
It is beautiful how you study all schools of thought thoroughly. To my understanding Sufi muslims added a philosophical explanation to religion.
Non-sufi muslims don't put much thought into hidden meanings behind worship. They stick to the scripture more literally or practically.
Becoming in union with God means putting the Divine before and above everything.
It is very much like the idea of becoming ego-less in Buddhism.
Letting go of all attachments except that with God
@@Einzelgänger Unfortunately, Islam in its true essense has been so misunderstood, that we have to use terms such as Sufi non Sufi muslims. The holder of the true gnosis of Islam was held by Prophet Mohammad and his cousin Ali, Which Rumi speaks of in very high and mystical reverence in his poetries, specially Ali Ibn Abi Talib.
" Your sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it and your remedy is within you, but you do not sense it. You presume you are a small entity, but within you is enfolded the entire Universe. You are indeed the evident book, by whose alphabet’s the hidden becomes manifest. Therefore you have no need to look beyond yourself. What you seek is within you, if only you reflect." - Ali Ibn Abi Talib
The whole Islamic prayer is given as a gift so you can experience the Ascension Journey the Prophet did, if done properly. That is why you have to pray 5 times a day, so maybe you will experience one thing in an instant, or maybe the whole thing.
But the highest from of connection with God , is the Dhikr (Remembrance ) of the Name Allah repeatedly at all times in your mind, even while talking, which is teaching you deep mindfulness at all time.
The Dhikr too is profound in Rumis poetry, as the way to connect with God and to keep remembering his name in your mind, so maybe you will experience a break thru.
Wrong Lama El Charif!
Do not attach yourself to the Divine.
There is no *YOU* that attach to anything or anyone to begin with.
Learn this concept... u r in wayward path now.
Please, never stop making videos! You've saved my life several times, and I'm not the only one to say this! I'm very grateful for all your work, Einzelgänger!
What have u going through?
"Love is always unconditional". Wonderful to have Rumi in this channel.
But how is it unconditional. I don't see this in practical life. Ideally yes this is what we want but we do not see. Instead, love is happening between 2 equals. For example take relationship between man and woman.
Unconditional love is possible only when our logic does not interfere with emotions and that is a very very rare scenario.
@@manoj9596 he is referring to love towards existance and being itself, its a state you reach when you allow yourself to transcend the material way of life and by meditation. And yes logic is something which intervenes, also knowledge about certain things intervenes with the experience of unconditional love. But the point is, to commit yourself to awareness even when you feel that logic tries to hinder you in realizing this. Sometimes being free from concepts of the mind is that what we seek
@@manoj9596 It is conditional as long as you take it personally. The conditions are fixed by the persona. This is drama, and love does not have anything to do with it. Drama is a fictional story, given by our preferences, expectation and interpretations.This is not real. The complete acceptance (non resistence) of things as they are is love. The complete acceptance of who we are is love. This can't be conditional. Love is who we are.
@@roquevera9831 yeah the original quality of soul is love and peace. One can feel that for some split seconds at times where our mind's thoughts and experiential emotions are not interfering with it.
As we grow it gets corrupted and manipulated by our own thoughts and experiences. Most of the times it is pain and as someone said ...."human behaviour is largely shaped around avoidance of pain."
My actual agenda of writing this:
In my personal experience, even if i have appropriate wisdom , it is still difficult to move beyond personal experiences. Therefore having wisdom is not enough for having best experiences and choices.
For our emotional mind, this all knowledge and wisdom just doesn't seem to matter if soul is in hurt and pain. So we need to know how to heal first.
But i am very positive...may be someday, most of us shall experience the same just like these sages did.
@@manoj9596 Who is that wich is suffering? Is it really you? Are you someone in joy and someone else in pain?
You are not your experiences. You are not anything that comes and goes. You are always the same, no matter what.
You will never know how to heal, because there is nothing to heal. You are already heal. In fact, you never got sick. The only problem is that you are beliving that you are a person defined by its experiences. Then you enter a neverending drama: you are never enough, you are never satisfied. But you don't need anything, you already have it. Don't you see? Are you in there?
There is no "someday", there is only now. Anything else than now is just in the mind. You don't have to wait until some conditions are met. This will never come. Don't be harsh with yourself. Blindly Love who you are and then you will see. You will see who you are and be as you are.
People need to first learn how to love themselves without ego otherwise they are seeking from a place of lack which brings them more lack. This is the problem with most of humanity, they are codependent empty vessels looking to be filled with love by other empty vessels.
Well-said!! i loved the video and this philosophy, too. I’m working towards both right now. Learning to know and love myself fully (I do the same with others), while also slowly releasing (unhealthy) attachment to people and things.
Be blessed. My journey ended with a spiritual awakening after my inner awakening.
You are so correct in this, profound!
@@kamikazitsunami how did you achieve it ?
Last sentence is profound.
"The wound is the place where the Light enters you"
Love cannot fade for who that truly loves.
very true
If you seek love, you need to return to your quiet, inner space and an insight will arise, that you are love. It arises from being aware, not from doing, not from effort.
thank you for sharing these words
I believe part of letting go of worldly possessions is not about "trying" to let go of things that do make you happy in life. Being grateful and joyous for the things you have, doing the things you want to, will help lead you to understanding how to let go. Never force anything
“Wouldn’t it be great to have access to such a boundless source of love that’s always present and doesn’t discriminate based on preferences?” ❤️
But it's so hard to let them go. I just let go?
Wheeeee, it's an abysssss.
U cant imagine how amazing it is to read rumi's poems in the original language . It can itself be the reason to learn persian
"Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear."
-Rumi
That quote is hanging on my wall, I usually check and think about it.
i find it hard to understand, right there without context. Do you find different meanings from time to time when you re-read it?
@@cannibale101 Actually, I don't find so much different meanings: Sun is generous about its sunshine. It is able to burn all of us, but it prefers to give life to earth. Night covers everything with its darkness, we should cover others' fault(shame), because the opposite of this we can count as a bullying and that's not cool. Be like running water(stream), because it always keeps giving water to villages. Be death for rage and anger, because death can't be angry. Be like earth(soil), because it is lying our foots, but it gives life to earth too, anyway.
Those are my thoughts. And I think translation is little bit problematic or I found a problematic translation(Idk). However, the most hard part is "Appear as you are, be as you appear."
I think it is hard to answer this question: "Who am really I?" If we don't answer this question, how can we know we became the true self? Ok, I will explain this phrase with simple way and I won't make philosophy: Be yourself! If we say our inner world is "X" and our appearance to others is "Y", we should make X=Y. That's it.
But, other questions are hard to answer and they are changing time to time:
"Do I have to be mercy to all?", "Do I have to be fair to all even the evils?", "What if I am a bad person and I appear as I am to others, I won't be generous or mercy?"
You can make those questions more, but in the end, I think being good and wise brings peace to our hearths. (I said wise, because wise persons always knows how to behave against calculating persons and protect themselves without be harmed.)
@@fyodor1242 Thank you for taking the time :) I'll keep thinking about it
Me too. 💚💚💚💚 this and wished more people followed it
"Don't seek love, just stop resisting it". The question remains "how can I do that"
Be like melting snow.. wash yourself of yourself.
Try getting into meditating. It's difficult at first, but it gives you a platform to stop resisting/forcing, and let things in your mind settle and sediment. This is a very peaceful state and you will find compassion within you and around you.
Allow your heart to break. Allow all your understanding of love to break.
Also detach from a materialistic viewpoint of life, that all there is is matter etc. Its no coincidence that materialism can be used in two ways. But aside from that meditate, spent time in nature by just being aware of your surroundings and allow yourself to tap into your potential, practice child like curiosity towards life and cherish every small bit in life. We have more to offer than we believe.
@@cx777o worded very well 🙏
"Love is the whole thing. We are just pieces."
Seriously man, I know I have said this before, but you always upload your video when I need it the most. Thank you my friend.
Because the idol is your face,
I have become an idolater.
Because the wine is from your cup,
I’ve become a drunkard.
In the existence of your love,
I have become non-existent.
This non-existence, linked to you,
is better than all existence.
-Rumi
This is my favourite poem of his.
When we hear the word 'love,' we think of every story that's main point is that love is pain and that it's best to avoid it, but Rumi's work and insight is definitely quite refreshing.
isnt what Christ says? Through cross, love and peace and heaven are reached.
I love YOU man. You're an excellent role model for people like me. Constantly worried about various things that don't matter. When I watch your videos I feel like I can grasp the sense of peace you speak of, even if only for a time
In my opinion William Chittick's "Sufi Path of Love" is the best introduction to Rumi's works.
You have an uncanny ability to release videos pertaining to exact developments I'm experiencing in my own life. Many thanks as always if only for showing that I'm not the only one walking this path. If there is one thing I would like to point out for anyone facing similar reflections, it has been my experience that we don't lose anything in the world in finding the heart of emptiness except for the ideas and distinctions we hold. You'll never lose what was never separate.
Same. I sometimes wonder if we’re being herded lol
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
Rumi ❤️
Love this from rumi..always gives me comfort..whenever I feel sad or down that day I remember this poem and tell this to myself that this sadness won't last forever...its just a fleeting feeling..it too shall pass
@@mshammond_uk1831 Same same me too, arohanui from New Zealand.
Each day I get more and more convinced that this is the best YT channel I ever found
as a muslim this is made me so happy :). ancient Muslim thinkers & philosophers deserve more recognition.
As a muslim I deeply appreciate Einzelgänger making a video about a sufi such as rumi.
Also if you guys are maybe interested in the islam and just want to understand us, I would recommend you another great muslim philosopher.
His name is Said Nursi, but he is commonly referred as Bediüzzaman(it is a name given by his people to him and means the wonder of time).
He has a line of Books called Risale i Nur.
They are basically an accumulation of the quran and hadiths of the prophet into mostly stories as allegories, in which he articulates the meaning behind what was said. The Risalei Nur starts with Sözler(turkish for Words) but you can start anywhere you like.
also if Einzelgänger reads this I hope you would make avideo with his philosophy.
Bizi rezil etmek için can atıyorsunuz değil mi?? Türkler ve Türklükden neden bu kadar nefret ediyorsunuz? Neden onca insanın içinde "kurdistan tealiye" üye olmuş olan ve dergileri için yazı yazmış olan o dönemin pkklisina değer veriyorsunuz??? Yıldız sarayının hekiminin muayenesi sonucu DELI raporu almış olan birisini filozof olarak adlandırmanın açıklaması nedir??? Ki o dönem en iyi ve başarılı doktorların sarayda olduğunu ve padişaha hizmet ettiğini unutmamak gerek.
Rumi's philosophies and thoughts really express what I truly thought this whole time too. He expressed it really well and understandable to people. I respect him.
Once you feel this love, the worldly love just not as interesting anymore. And you feel the peace of all peace.
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”
-Rumi💛
Finally a coverage from Rumi... Thank you 🥺🥺🥺
I wanted to say many things but can't resist but to describe Rumi in one word - LOVE. ❤️ From India
I love him unconditionally
he loves me unconditionally
I am so grateful for that boy
thank you god
“I am the servant of the Qur'an as long as I have life. I am the dust on the path of Muhammad, the Chosen One.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi
I'm so glad that I can read Rumi's poems in its own language. Persian. One of the most beautiful and meaningful poems ever.
A life lived in love will never be dull.👐
I’m a big fan of Rumi’s philosophy and totally agree that love is the essence of our being. When you love somebody unconditionally, this love does not need gasoline to keep the flame of love burning. Unconditional love is, as Rumi says so beautifully, a path to God.
Nice words. Thank you for your deep and wonderful feeling.💔
I've a feeling that Rumi's love was one-sided.
i dont usually comment like this, but i have to thank you so much for this. i genuinely needed to hear this coming off from an abusive relationship
Here before all the quotes
"Haha" - me
I've been searching about non-attachment, and what love really is (or what it isn't) because it's been "working against me." Thank you for making this video! 💙 It's almost a year since I've bumped into your channel; I'm very grateful for it.
True love is the trust that the divine will always provide us of the things we need it, when we need it. Whether this is in the form of materials or the form of insights. This video was very informative and interesting! Thanks!!
The love that is within ones own soul, the love that radiates your own life force. True internal love and passion for life itself but nothing material at the same time.
Wow it makes so much sense
Love is at the core of us and we are already connected to it, therefore to “seek it” only implies separation and takes you further away from it. When you realize you are already “there” is when you are immersed in it and it washes over you. You just have to allow it as Rumi says. Love is unconditional. It is not some illusive, mystical force or something worthy of only gurus.
Awesome that you’re including Islamic philosophy/mysticism
Without love
There is no joy.
Without joy
There is no creation.
Without creation
There is nothing.
Therefore,
Love is das force that creates das universe.
But wait:
Love cannot survive without trust;
Trust is das beste of relationship.
Hence,
Faith is de force that creates das universe.
Das knight of faith is a dancer with high elevation.
To make it simple:
It's a belief that there is someone up there who loves us unconditionally. If we love that Allah back, we will automatically have a great attitude towards ourselves and our lives. We will think that everything is happening for good. Even if a situation is bad in others eyes, as a lover we'll see the goods that Allah kept for us hidden in the bad situation (e.g., a situation made me know about myself more and i know where i react and where to work on myself). If a person is able to love Allah back, he is in the ocean of the greatest success, peace, love, happiness, prosperity, growth, health, wealth and so on.
That's awesome that you're putting out content about rumi. I'd love to see more of rumi from you
I am your lover, come to my side, I will open the gate to your love.
Come settle with me, let us be neighbors to the stars.
You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love.
Even so, you have always been connected to me.
Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest.
I am life itself. You have been a prisoner of a little pond,
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood. Come merge with me,
leave this world of ignorance. Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.
Rumi
Thank you for this video, Muslim philosophers are underrated.
I love how Rumi defined and described love.It has no barriers.
I'm happy that one of my favourite channels on youtube that literally changed my life talks about Rumi. I love Rumi however, I could never really grasp his words to a full extend. Even after watching this video, it gives me more questionmarks
Being in a twin flame connection will teach you this like no other!
Thank you for this wonderful video!
As a student currently writing a thesis on the Neoplatonic traits in the concept of Love in the work of medieval mystic Marguerite Porete, it is really amazing to see how much of these ideas align with Rumi's.
Marguerite wrote about mystical union with the divine through Love and was condemned to the stake as a heretic for it.
Imagine that...
That sounds pretty interesting!
Another video where the comment section is more enriching than the actual video ♥️

~Rumii ❤
Love is inside of us all and in everything on this mystic Universe.
Sounds a lot like the philosophical concept of detachment present in Buddhism. I LOVE IT!!!
But in search of love we should not forget existence of hurt and insecurities that surrounds us to keep the faith in love ever burning.
It is probably the easiest task possible because it is what is (Truth). Once the self disappears.
Thanks for this beautiful compilation. I needed to remember this love today!
I grew up with Mevlana’s poems, thats how we call him in Turkey. And yes I agree with some friends below, even thou I dont know Persian, in old Turkish language translations of Rumi's works sound crazy aesthetic! Cannot reading him in original language is unfortunately the same pain I feel how I can never read Dostoyevski in Russian.
In Konya, where he died, they use to organize huge get togethers each year in December, coinciding his departure from World ☺; Called “Vuslat Anniversary” Vuslat meaning the “ecstatic joy of meeting with beloved”. For him, meeting with Allah.
Still, I wanna put some words on the experiences Rumi emphasises "love is everywhere".. It is actually. But we have way too crowded mind to see/feel/touch/hear/taste it. Mind rattles and creates false belief filters. Then we are not able to experience the world as it is. Unfortunately as a result, we just experience our own crooked version of reality, which forces us to search love outside.
We need to clean our subconscious mind somehow. Everyone should clean their lenses :) Whatever works for his/her. For me TM and NLP helped a lot. + staying alone in the nature and hear trees and bees and grasses speak for themselves.. Benefits of Pandemia :)) Love & greetings to you all!
Love's goal is only (to experience) the attraction exerted by the Beloved.
💚
Rumi
Seek, and you'll find.
That's the motto and the raison d'être of all dating apps, websites and enterprises.
The reason why monks, hermits and such don't seek company is because they don't want to be found.

In compassion and mercy, be like the Sun.
In covering up others' faults, be like the night.
In rage and anger, be like the dead.
In modesty and humility, be like the earth.
In tolerance, be like the sea.
Either appear the way you are or be the way you appear to be. Mevlana C. Rumi
Rumi pertains to where Mevlana is from.
(Much like van Gogh,van Schaik) .His proper name is Mevlana Celaleddin (Rumi).In Turkey we simply refer to him as Mevlana.
Thank you for this explanation. I am relatively new to his teachings.
@@inconnu4961 you are very welcome.
"You have to keep breaking your heart, until it opens"
Very well made video! just a small note. The whirling which the dervish do , was not instructed by Rumi. The whirling came about when he had a mystical experience while visiting the copper bazaar, when all of a sudden the sound of the copper being struck by hammer was experienced as God's praise from all around him, Hence he started whirling automatically in awe !
But what the dervish do is the opposite ! :D They try to whirl to get the experience, where as Rumi experienced something profound that made him whirl !
It might be easier than you think. I believe this is the natural inclination of the human heart. We learn most things that makes us feel separate. We are made to think we are disconnected and thus we end up feeling lonely.
"I must be a moron missing this life, If I don't cast my mind in the fire of your love..!!"
- Rumi ❤️❤️
Love is the greatest emotion I have love for everyone I have to keep it strong in. My heart ❤
Rumi's poems heal heart and purifies soul like no other
With a few words
You remind me
We are the dust
Of stars...
Thank You for sharing your insights about Rumi and Love!! I am so happy to see your subscribers growing leaps and bounds...
Love is cheap and easy feeling. Rumi’s poets are much deeper than that
"There is force within that gives you life, seek that"
"My soul sister and brother, stop acting so small, YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE IN ECSTATIC MOTION"
I... Am ... That, I Am.
Yes, Master Yoda.
Your videos are mind blowing. A blessing in today's tough times. Your videos takes a person to a world without any kind of negativity. You present it so well. God bless you.
Thumbnail is satisfying tho! ❤
This was such a inspiring video. Now I will search for his poems and dive into it. Moved me in a way that rarely happens. Thank you for your great work ❤️
I am the servant of the Qur'an as long as I have life.
I am the dust on the path of Muhammad, the Chosen one.
If anyone quotes anything except this from my sayings,
I am quit of him and outraged by these words.
- Rumi
@@nirgunawish The whole video is about an ultimate reality that transcends the person to which a person has to submit to. I'm not sure what sense of 'barrier' you have in mind, but it seems that the point of the video is to break down the barriers imposed by the ego that separate us from this ultimate reality.
@@rh3996 im pretty sure rumi knew quran was man-made to serve the ego of muhammad, otherwise he wouldn't have said he didn't find god in the mosque, he said he found it within himself, the silent consciousness that is eternal in the whole universe! that was allah for Rumi,and it is the same for me
@@ayoubzahiri1918 now that’s inaccurate. Sufism is based on the Islamic religion. Its a branch of Islam and Rumi is well aware of it. You cant just take a quote from Rumi and came up with that conclusion. Rumi has lived his whole life a Muslim with his spiritual partner Shams of Tabriz. Both of them are Muslims and practice Islam. Mysticism is not to be understood by thinking. It is a way of life that they have lived and not to be concluded by your opinion of the matter. You have to live the way the saints lived. Understand from the heart. For Allah is the only God. Read the Quran. Remove all your judgements. Understand it for yourself. I’m hoping for the best for you. I didnt mean any harm when I write this. Sorry if this ever offend anybody.
@@positiveforreal6741 of course he'll act like muslim to go with the mass so he can be accepted in the community and not get beheaded, just like im doing myself, i fast ramadan as a tradition and not as an order from god, because im sure god never talked to mohammed,or maybe he did...we'll never know but religions are just dividing the world when the true god is one and only one.i experienced god from psychdelics and i swear if i didnt know about religions i would have created one, but deff not in this age of information and science now ...
@@ayoubzahiri1918 my brother I totally wish nothing but the best for you but once again I have to disagree with your statement. Whatever happened in your life that is not align to your belief, I feel sorry for you. For me, I find peace in Islam and I believe in Allah and his prophets. I won’t force you to be like me, I hoped that you will find what you truly look for one day. Until then, please keep searching for the truth and walk on the light. Assalammualaikum and take care.
Not physical only emotionally..pure,❤
Einzelgänger, love youre videos! Just when i need a good advice on a certain topic, you upload it... just great!
Deze video komt op het goede moment
Note: I'd encourage googling "whitewashing of Rumi" to get a better perspective of his poems. A lot of his works had been translated out of context or even with inaccurate translations to make it more pop culture friendly. Rumi essentially is an islamic sufist, a lot of his work are related to the spiritual journey from within. Some modern day translations of his work made his poems sound like they are drunk in love when that is not the case, rather he is communicating the language of the heart. I hope my fellow readers will feel more enlightened and have a fresh perspective to his works
He is right. Meditate deeply, you will know it's truth.
