Sufism began some 9 centuries ago and is focused on reaching the divine - the power that created the skies, the earth, us and life as a whole, through love. It means that in Sufism, we human beings are lovers, the divine is beloved and to love the divine, we need to connect back to the essence of life and understand that we and the world are one. Sufism has given the world some of its brightest minds and poets and one of those people is known as Maulana, Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī, arguably the best Sufi poet in history. Rumi, a Persian scholar at first, then a Mystic, has written many illustrious poems depicting love and its central role as the bridge to reach the divine; poems that are engraved in the literature books for eternity. His brilliance caught the eyes of people since his childhood. His father, a famous scholar back then, had personally taken the responsibility of teaching him. He deepened his knowledge at a very young age and after the death of his father, he was destined to succeed him as a scholar. But Rumi wanted to learn more, so he connected with another brilliant teacher named Al Tarmithi and a few years later, his teacher left him because he considered that he had nothing left to teach his student, Rumi was now a complete scholar. Rumi was adored by his followers and when he held assemblies, he had a large crowd as attendees. However, life and the divine had other plans for him. In 1244, Rumi encountered Shams Tabrizi, a traveling Sufi dervish who changed his core understanding of life. Rumi became so fond of Shams that he neglected his students and his family and spent days and nights with him, all to grasp the essence of pure love and how to express it to reach the divine. Rumi turned from a Scholar to a Sufi poet who sang for love, danced in circles, which is now called Sufi whirling or the whirling dervish, and wrote poems that are still relevant today continuing to have a deep influence.

Rumi says “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."

Rumi said (probably): I am not a philosopher. My words are not a philosophy.
Excellent video 🌹
“Love is the bridge between you and everything.”
― Rumi
But where is that love ?

“ We are stars wrapped in skin. The light you are seeking has always been within. “ 💚💚💚 ~ Rumi
Concept of soul
Judgment is not something that can be taken away, only transformed through understanding.
The more we know... the less we judge...
Both very kind and bright comments
Bad judgement is bad. Good judgement is good. We all judge, anyway.
Hmmm
@@Truthseeker371good and bad are both judgements. Neither exist unless you create one of them.
"If they are asleep. Just let them sleep."
-Rumi
Sufism is the essence of the skin of Islam, and the essence of Sufism is knowing God, even though the Greatness of God cannot be fully recognized by creatures, no matter how high human knowledge is.
Before exploring Sufism I was familiar with living the life of a monk, meditation, yoga kundalini, & other spiritual processes. But it was only after getting to know Sufism that I found perfection that I did not find in other teachings. How beautiful the understanding we get from Sufi figures such as Uwais al Qarni, Abu Yazid al Bistami, Imam an Nafri, Imam al Ghazali, Suhrawardi al Maqtul, Ibnu Arabi, Jalaluddin Rumi, etc. They teach us that the life of this world is only a drop of water in the boundless ocean of divinity that is contained in the deepest recesses of the heart of a person who realizes the essence.
This is the greatest joy that makes you always excited to live life every second, knowing who you really are, because you are not just a human body, you are the greatest secret of God's reality 🌟
This was beautiful to read
Please tell me more
Did you really mean all you wrote , you know who actually you are ? you feel it ? deep within the vastness ?
The core of "sufism" is rooted in the teachings of the prophet mohammed saws and the holy quran. People were called a sufi which simply means "ones who wears wool". Their goal is to purify the heart through prayer, abstaining from worldly desires as good as possible and dhikr which is like a form of meditation and praising god combined. It is called taswuf and its rooted in the quran and sunna. Indeed that person has brought himself into happiness and success (Falah) who purifies (Tazakka) himself [87:14]. Tazkiyah is an Arabic word meaning “spiritual purification of oneself” “Truly he succeeds that purifies” [91:9]. As Quran says; “And whose hearts find peace in the remembrance of God, truly it is in the remembrance of God that hearts find 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.
"The wound is the place where the light enters" RUMI

Wow. I thought Santa Claus said that. 🤡

A life lesson that I have learned is a life without a passion isn't much of a life. Find your passion and if you can have more than one passion then you will have a fuller life.
Thank you from Balkh, Afghanistan. Birthplace of Rumi❤
The more you are in a state of gratitude, the more you will attract things to be grateful for.🙏🏽💙💫
Al Hamdu Lillah,☝🙏🕊 a good posting! 🌹✌
I’m so very grateful for the practical way you shared Rumi’s Wisdom. You made his work more accessible and productive 🌹
he acknowledged this world's suffering, he offered love in return,
that's something i can not do easily,
You did it with this comment.
This came to me at just the right time. Thank you 🙏❤️
LOVE IS ALL YOU HAVE, IT GOES BEYOND GRATEFUL FOR 👑RUMI♥️🙌🏾👏🏾
"Everyone was made for some particular work and the desire for that work has been put in every heart."(Rumi)
Here is an excerpt from the writings of Marshall Vian Summers on our mission in life.
"You have a mission in life to fulfill, a mission that was given to you before you came here, a mission that you will review once you have left. It involves the reclamation of Knowledge and the proper engagement with others to bring about specific results in the world...
Your duties in the world are small...These duties are important but your mission is greater... Carry out your duties specifically this day regarding your employment and your engagement with others. Do not confuse this with your mission, which is something far greater that you are only now beginning to receive and to experience... As your mission begins to express itself within you who are learning to receive it, it will create a more specific influence upon your duties as well. This is gradual and entirely natural for you. This merely requires that you be self-disciplined, consistent and trusting enough to follow its steps." (MVS, Steps to Knowledge)
Thank you for this post.
Thank you so much✨💙🙏🏾

I was trying to make these words in practice for a decade, I had so many good times with my lonliness, I enjoyed spending time, reading, being immersed within, exploring the inner world, experience the joy of understanding until a girl I loved deeply years before and we had ended up breaking up, returned to me.
I cannot explain how happy I was that time, as if some shining star lighted with within me after a long period of time. Until that girl belittled my love, the way I saw the world, disgracing my beliefs, misconception of my perspectives and so on ...
I was in a dilemma, what is this world that is being manifested to me? I didn't have the girl for six years, and after these years suddenly she showed up again and is belittling my love towards herself? Being disrespectful of my love, etc? God what are you doing with me?
I decided to break up with her, sent her a message and told her that i got sad because of her blatant words and this is a farewell.
After that, I experienced the most difficult times of my life. As if the shining light within me turned off, quite the opposite of what Rumi experienced.
It took me almost two years to somehow recover from the pain. The pain of the love I've experienced has been so deep that I lost lots of performance in most aspects of my life but i re-found Rumi again. Life is entangled with pain and suffering and there's no scape for that. As Rumi says, the light comes through our wounds.
May God bless us all with Love and endurance of the suffering of life.
Incredibly beautiful and inspiring video from beginning to end. Thank you. 💕🧡🐈⬛🧡💕 Blessings.
My inspiration , I love U Rumi!
Well that was as profound as learning about the Buddha and Buddhism. I think this is the begining of something good..... ❤️🥰

Excellent... TRILLION
TIMES
Thanks great one.
Thank Youu!!
Always liked the one "sell your cleverness and purchase bewilderment"
love it
Loved the video❤
Rumi is profound even today centuries later.
Can you do a video on Al Ghazali please
Please, some sufi stories from the Nasreddin. Great find, thanks.
😂 Rumi is confirming for me the urge to notice the divinely universal gracious massage beyond message of life especially in friendships 😊 …thus nourishingly understood, appreciated and with celebration expanded (especially inwardly towards self) …. that strength is recovered like in deep sleep…. to love and celebrate life more uniquely with our special mix of talents !
Nice 👏
Great
Good.
Discover the world within
So easily explained to discover the world

Много больше вы получите пользы от чтения Руми чем от этого видео. А удовольствие будет безмерно.
I Have felt 3 every day of my life...
That’s some serious bromance
Can you guys over at Philosophy of Life tell me what is the source of this incredibly practical spirituality? A particular book perhaps?
I’ve been at Sufi for 50 years and I love hearing from this aspect of Rumi as well.
Quran is the book I think you are in search of, a practical guide for becoming a good human being, full of love and compassion
Nice
This one is just so so
Step by step. Small steps is best to move away. It is better to have the small good which is always there than the "great good" that appers good from afar but actuallty turns out to be the worst because its reality is not the same like my perception of it. Plus people watching might have perceived it the same way as i but cannot know how deceived they are as well because they lack experience. So they will be hateful for the nonexisting good. But continuing living the ordinary way but with a different use of the tools that are right in front can create the most pleasurable and secure life. Learning, exploring, etc is that way always possible. pressure and anxiety vanished if you are not forced to live in a way or feel the need to become someone. External forces should be less important. Internat should. If something does not feel good it is not meant to be in your life. If someone does not feel good, get rid of them. Do not feel get because of "should". The whole world is trying to say you what you should do or who you should be. If you have already made your decision people have to accept it. You do not exist to live up others expectation. It is important to reconnect with yourself and keep the noise of the world where it belongs. Outside your head. Some people think they are so wise and important they lnow what is best for you. Actually they have no clue. They either want you to do what is best for them. Do not feel gulty if you do not let yourself influenced or worse controlled.
Thanks profound 🙏👍
This narrator keeps saying, "WE", in light⚡ of the content of this video. Now if he were only speaking of himself then it would be proportionate to his own life's experience. No one can ever speak for everyone. This is why the author is a villain of The Freedom👣 of One's Own Personal Mind! 👑🧘❣️
Are there any universal truths, related to love?
@@jamessloan2680 Yah, True Love ❤️ lasts when IT 🎶 has constituents!
Bro MAJID ❤
The best love you can have in your life is uncondional love ! All the other kinds of love you can have are builded on ego and end up sooner or later in failure or frustration~The Bible starts with a woman and a man in a garden,and closes with revalations !
It sounds to me like they might have been lovers too
That thought crossed my mind also. Maybe some type of controlling and/or co-dependency also. Take care. from Kentucky
Great thanks Mr Cohen the Great.

Wtf. The guy was not arab bro he was persian
Nice video on Islam and rumi☝️
Nope, Sufism isn't supported by ISLAM
What is the relationship of this video and Islam..?
@@farhadris rumi is Muslim
@@halimb4836 he definitely is not…
@@halimb4836 he literally says in his poetries that he despises Islam and religions in general!!
Human philosophy for a wise, intelligent.
Maybe something about quantum psychology?
I didn't know you were gay Rumi! Explains a lot. Love you!❤
suppose what you love to do, and what you want to do, are impossible due to the conditions of Covid and the world. And the "market" for what you love to do is closed down and so are all your opportunities. You are forced to sit quietly and watch your life drift by with no chance to change it in any way.
Sit quietly and look forward to when you can pursue what you love. The time will come. It will come.
Bektashism is the new Sufism! The branch became widespread in the OttomanEmpire, their lodges scattered throughout Anatolia as well as in the Balkans. Today you find the Bektashi Centre in Albania.
Wow lovely teachings, sorry to ask this, was Rumi and sham's (Guy) in short lover's? Just asking don't crucify me 🤦
Soulful philosophy ... but just so we're clear; success, achievement, fame, money, beauty, etc. help with happiness but do not guarantee it. Happiness is that rare bird that is a byproduct of other things and may not come at all in a person's life. But make no mistake: life's race is ultimately won by those who find it.
Bucket list..I know u see it...sufi twirling i n Istanbul.and.Mt athos..
I wish i have master like shams
Rumi lite
I asked God His name. He answered, Fundamentally E. I answered, energy of consciousness that suffuses everything. Every proton, neutron, electron, quark, spark of light and black hole. I was born March 11th in Bethlehem. I'll teach you some Aramaic. Schlama means peace. Malkuth means Heaven. Hubba means love.
12:39 I didn't know they had ecstasy back then too

Whirling dirvish -> Whirly Dirly from Rick and Morty where you can’t die at the top of the ride…?
I like Rumi's poetry, very inspiring! Of course now we have the moralist-fundamentalists trying to appropriate Rumi's legacy. Christians try to do the same with Jesus and Jews with Moises. The truth is all tree abrahamic religions are pyramid schemes leading to dead ends, no other beliefs systems have caused so much human misery and still do. "By their fruits you shall know them" I wish to live long enough to experience a world free of organized religions....maybe next life! Amen! lol
Lol.. rumi is teaching submission to God through islam.
There is perennial myth found in almost all the cultures, "All treasures are guarded by serpents/dragons" same applies to mystic core of true religions, most people/cultures fall victim to the serpent before they reach the treasure!!
I was religious, God led me out of it💖😊my relationship with the creator has never waivered.
@@nuubgaming22 nope Rumi despises Islam and religions in general in his poetries… it seems you’ve never read Rumi that you think he teaches through Islam 😅
I wish Shams could have wrote how he guided Rumi, Rumi toughen his poetry unnecessary, as if he didnt want to share his peace to other that god bestowed him,
🕊💐🇹🇷
Rumi is Persian 🇮🇷🔥
Rumi also had an upside down acorn on his head
انا فخورة أني عربية ومسلمة فخورة بأني أتحدث اللغة التي أُنزل بها القرآن والتي تحدث بها أعظم رجال العالم ☺️☺️☺️
Rumi was Persian and he didn't speak Arabic.
Rumi despises Islam and religions in general in his poetries… so be proud of being Muslims from reading his poetries is interesting 😂
A seed doesn't connive and cause others to connive with it. Weeds also grow and are pulled up by the roots. Everything should be allowed to grow but when to pull it up is something else. Some need pulling before others. Who make those decisions to uproot others? Many just ask any government.
THE WORLD RULER TRIES TO KILL ME
And then a voice of the world ruler came to the angels: “I am god and there is no other god but me.” But I laughed joyfully when I examined his conceit. But he went on to say, “Who is the human?”
And the entire host of his angels who had seen Adam and his dwelling were laughing at his smallness. And thus did their thought come to be removed outside the majesty of the heavens, away from the human of truth, whose name they saw, since he is in a small dwelling place. They are foolish and senseless in their empty thought, namely, their laughter, and it was contagion for them.
The whole greatness of the fatherhood of the spirit was at rest in its places. And I was with him, since I have a thought of a single emanation from the eternal ones and the unknowable ones, undefiled and immeasurable. I placed the small thought in the world, having disturbed them and frightened the whole multitude of the angels and their ruler. And I was visiting them all with fire and flame because of my thought.
And everything pertaining to them was brought about because of me. And there came about a disturbance and a fight around the seraphim and cherubim, since their glory will fade, and there was confusion around Adonaios on both sides and around their dwelling, up to the world ruler and the one who said, “Let us seize him.” Others again said, “The plan will certainly not materialize.” For Adonaios knows me because of hope. And I was in the mouths of lions. And as for the plan that they devised about me to release their error and their senselessness, I did not succumb to them as they had planned. And I was not afflicted at all.
Those who were there punished me, yet I did not die in reality but in appearance, in order that I not be put to shame by them because these are my kinsfolk. I removed the shame from me, and I did not become fainthearted in the face of what happened to me at their hands. I was about to succumb to fear, and I suffered merely according to their sight and thought so that no word might ever be found to speak about them.
For my death, which they think happened, happened to them in their error and blindness, since they nailed their man unto their death. Their thoughts did not see me, for they were deaf and blind. But in doing these things, they condemn themselves. Yes, they saw me; they punished me.
It was another, their father, who drank the gall and the vinegar; it was not I. They struck me with the reed; it was another, Simon, who bore the cross on his shoulder. It was another upon whom they placed the crown of thorns. But I was rejoicing in the height over all the wealth of the rulers and the offspring of their error, of their empty glory. And I was laughing at their ignorance.
What book is this from if you don't mind?
@@lexqbeanable

Roman Emporer Constantine says its heretical, lol.
Rumi was not a philosopher. That's a compliment. A Muslim, poet, not a philosopher. People want to make everything a philosophy. Philosophy is irrelevant.
THE GOSPEL
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also
ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
- 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 KJV
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:13 KJV
SAVALATION
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
- John 3:16 KJV
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
- John 14:6 KJV
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:10
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. - Isaiah 53:5
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
- Mark 1:15 KJV
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
- John 3:36 KJV
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. 2 Timothy 1:9
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:22
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:7-8
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John 10:9
Do you hunger and thirst after righteousness, then you will satisfied. matt. The New Testament. Peace be unto you.
There is no Arabic translation 😣😣😣
Amazing muslim mind
He wasn’t Muslim in his own words written in black in his poetries… as a matter of fact he despised Islam an religions in general
