Rumi - Whoever brought me here

[samgulha]

How fascinating. Yes, Rumi didn't belong to anywhere or any tribe. He belonged to the nature.

y u hisitate beloved,,,when u know lives r n danger

[TurkishMujahid]

Maulana celalledin Hoca or Mevlana Cellaledin rumi was born in khorasan(afghanistan) and then moved to Konya(turkey,anatolia) from where he lived and wrote all his works until he died , his mausaleum is also there

[afghankabuli]

Rumi was a tajik-sunni-persian from khorasan or today known as Afghanistan.All of his works has been written in Dari-persian. he has nothing to do wth today's irani shia nation or current state of iran who claims the whole of persia's history which funny...its appropriate for turkish to be proud of Rumi caz he lived in konya most of his life, like most of afghans today.....iran has claimed all of afghanistan's empires,poets,language etc.caz we r in war for 30 yrs...soon we wil take care of it.

[ScottishArtFan]

Just adore this man's words and work. There is a saying by Buddha - "When the Student is ready the Master appears". I could not have read or understood Rumi's work until I got to where I am now. Beautiful, Profound and True. Wonderful clip.

[ArmenicaPlus]

Again, according to Dr. Shafii Kadkani, may some lines belong to Rumi, but in the meantime other lines added to it.

[ArmenicaPlus]

According to the Dr. Mohammadreza Shafii Kadkani, this poem (the first two minuts) is not belong to Rumi, Even if it is one of the most famous works in Persian literature, and referred to Rumi as a poet, but it is not in any of the old copies of the Divan Shams. In addition, there is a difference in the way of thinking. Questions like "where am I from, and why", is more like Khayam than Rumi.

@ArmenicaPlus Nopes! To question existence is the key practice of Tassawaf(Sufism). You cannot open a lock, even if you have the key to it, unless you know where the lock is. Zikr is the way out.

[MrCretinkooper]

Wow, so much depth and beauty

[IAmSpiritPoet]

Rumi is beyond territory or religion..he is of the Beloved as are we. Beautiful.

[ragoosh]

rumi is more spritual and has nothing to islam or any other religion..he even says that in his poems..

[rollingklouds]

>has nothing to islam or any other religion...

Will it cause profound mental agony for you, if he does?

It doesn't bother me at all that T. S. Eliot was Catholic; I still enjoy him without reservation.

[ArabianRhythm]

Rumi was a devout Muslim who sees the world different because he reaches the level of consciousness. He was a great sufi master, and i have my sufi master too. We are all Muslims as we believe in "There is no gods but ALLAH and Mohammad is His messenger".

[artistdigital]

@rollingklouds For many not, but it has to do a great deal with Islam. The Wahabis don't agree but the truth is:

Islam is > Shariat + Tariqat(Sufism)

The goal is > Ma'arfat(To see the hidden, somewhat) + Haqeeqat(Ultimate truth, Allah)

The goal is "Haqeeqat". The basic chant is "LA ILAAHA ILALAH" ie No God but God. This peom from its words, seem to be close to Ma'arfat but yet not achieved. eg Sheikh Jilani(ra) said in ecstasy: I found it, I'm successful. The dead would rise if I reveal it..

[artistdigital]

@rollingklouds ... reveal it over it, the seas would dry up, if I reveal it over them, the fire would extinguish, If I reveal it... Its Qaseeda-e-Ghousia, reciting it over n over, in a specific order reveals its secrets. Its still recited by Qadris. The king of saints, among saints is Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani n this Qaseeda is pure poetry. He is also one of the greatest scholars of Islam n perhaps Shah Shams(ra) also got enlightened through his light that he received from the Prophet(saw).

from Iran!

[MaviIglesias]

oh, HOW BEAUTIFUL, AND YOU GUYS STOP THAT NONSENSE WHERE HE'S COME FROM, HE'S WAS BORN IN OUR PLANET EARTH, WE'RE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IF WE CONTINUE WITH THIS SEPARATION THING WE'RE NEVER GOING TO LIVE  IN PEACE, THEREFORE ALWAYS WARS AND HATRED. WHAT WAR LORDS WANT.

[CabdiMadoobe]

"Now, you should know that Muhammad (PBUH) is the leader and guide.

As long as you don't come by Muhammad (PBUH) first, you won't reach us."

- Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi (RA)

Peace,

There's a Sufi dictum similar 2 what Jalaal-Ad-Deen said above:

"La Tareeqa Bidoon Shari3a"... There can never be any TAREEQA (Path or SUFISM) without SHARI'A (The WAY of Muhammad*P)

Thx. xtreme!

[mereanataki]

Ooh My heart feels transported from whatever illusory cultural divides the minds of elites have bid me erect against beauty and harmony expressed by Jalulladin Rumi Balkhi. Tino pai rawa atu! Excellence of the human Spirit soaring and dancing across the universe so we mortals can know the true grandeur within our own beingness. He is a mirror through which any one of us can find the Sacred in a leaf, a stone, our heart, our enemy. Language is merely the clothing of the sounds of our Soul. Aho

[persianmpire]

For better underestanding and feel RUMI poems should know his mother toung,FARSI.and refer to his homeland,IRAN.

[skyracer001]

my friend persianmpire;

just to remind you that; yes the great Rumi is Persian, and I proudly acknowledge that, but he was not Iranian. Remember he is called Mawlana Jalalludin Mohammad Balkhi because he was born in Balkh, now part of Afghanistan, which at the time was a part of the Great Persian Empire.

Shams

This is the side of Isalm that is not known and not appriciated by the Salafi Type of Isalm..it speaks and listen..communicate properly will the world as one.

[kiarminlarry]

Don't confuse Islam and Persian Culture...!

[Booysooz]

Great work. Unfortunatly it's so difficault to translate and transport the essence of Rumis poems from Farsi to English. The very complex rules and structure of persian poetry makes it almost impossible for people from other countries to feel the words and the soul of the poems.

[arfaall]

Supreme, relaxed powerful performance. Wonderful marriage of content and stage presence. Reminds me of English Week.
