Poetry by RUMI - The City of SABA

One of 21 video poems in Four Seasons Productions newly released Moving Poetry Series - Three innovative new films - RANT * RAVE * RIFF. The City of SABA was written in the 13th century by the Sufi mystic poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi and translated and recited in our film by Coleman Barks. What is so striking about this poem is it's relevance to what is happening in our SABA - Washington, D.C.

This poem is about peace and the video describes the modern interpretation of what Rumi's city of saba would look like. Innerjihad the GreaterJihad the jihad alakbar which Movlavi is elucidating upon, Is the battle of peace within ones-self away from corruptive decadent materialism which modern societies would have us shun away from and interestingly have begun to call a illustrate as being criminal.Movlave would discuss the importance ofJihad in all ofhis poems.ieInner peace is paramount

Please do not use Rumi's poems for your political convictions. Rumi is too pure to be posted in this video. If you really understood his thoughts you will not poste his poems in this political aspect. His poems aim to LOVE every one with their imperfections. Peace out

I love the ending of the jet just sailing off into the sweet golden climes. Bravo.

@galaxyofpeace yes, but the point of the video clips is to suggest what other political thinkers have noticed, to whit, that there is a problem of materialism in America. To cite such a disease isn't political as much as it is apothecary.

@galaxyofpeace

this is exactly the consciousness the dictators want's their slaves to be! To be passiv and do NOTHING! The perfect mind of a slave, of someone who is reigned! You would be a good follower of Ben Ali. Mubarak, Gaddafi etc... Because you love them! I don't love tyranns I hate them! I don't love pharao. I don't love torture, killing and percecution!

You are a perfect slave of modern time

It was a sad voice talking beautifuly about the the owners of the left ruins.

It was a sad voice warning us to avoid things people did in past for they regret now in tombs.
