Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273) is a Persian poet known simply as Rumi. He is one of the most popular poets in the world. Rumi was also a mystic, belonging to the Sufi tradition in Islam. He wrote in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and even (at times) Greek. So even in his own day, there was something universal and even cosmopolitan about Rumi’s wisdom and ideas. -- "Those who don't feel this Love" (Ode 314) Those who don't feel this Love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of spring water or take in sunset like supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep. This Love is beyond the study of theology, that old trickery and hypocrisy. If you want to improve your mind that way, sleep on. I've given up on my brain. I've torn the cloth to shreds and thrown it away. If you're not completely naked, wrap your beautiful robe of words around you, and sleep. -- Translated by Coleman Barks Read by Kayvan Sylvan https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-001/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com -- CREDITS MUSIC Spirit of Fire - Jesse Gallagher -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/wave-painting-drawing-artistic-81840/ Mewlana Jalal ad-Din Rumi https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mevlana-celaleddin-i-rumi-1.jpg Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"Only Breath" is one of the greatest poems written by Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273). Some literary Iranian critics deny it was written by Rumi. Anyway, "Only Breath" is marvelously shows how the human spiritual experience is one in all world cultures and religions. Different names are given to the same phenomenon. -- Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not from the East or the West, not out of the ocean or up from the ground, not natural or ethereal. not composed of elements at all. I do not exist, am not an entity in this world or the next, did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story. My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless. Neither body or soul. I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner, only that breath breathing human being. -- Translated by Coleman Barks -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com -- CREDITS MUSIC Ether Real - Density & Time -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/videos/space-stars-universe-galaxy-cosmos-19053/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mevlana-celaleddin-i-rumi-1.jpg Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"Behold the Water of Waters" is a profound poem by Rumi, the 13th-century Persian poet and mystic. Rumi was a mystic, belonging to the Sufi tradition in Islam. He wrote in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and even (at times) Greek. "BEHOLD THE WATER OF WATERS!" The sea itself is one thing, the foam another; Neglect the foam, and regard the sea with your eyes. Waves of foam rise from the sea night and day. You look at the foam ripples and not at the mighty sea. We, like boats, are tossed hither and thither, We are blind though we are on the bright ocean. Ah! you who are asleep in the boat of the body, You see the water; behold the Water of waters! Under the water you see there is another Water moving it. Within the spirit is a Spirit that calls it. When you have accepted the Light, O beloved, When you behold what is veiled without a veil, Like a star you will walk upon the heavens. -- Translated by Edward Henry Whinfield Read by Daniel Davison https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-206-by-various/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Sea Space - Emily A.

Did I not say to you, "Go not there, for I am your friend; in this mirage of annihilation I am the fountain of life?" Even though in anger you depart a hundred thousand years from me, in the end you will come to me, for I am your goal. Did I not say to you, "Be not content with worldly forms, for I am the fashioner of the tabernacle of your contentment?" Did I not say to you, "I am the sea and you are a single fish; go not to dry land, for I am your crystal sea?" Did I not say to you, "Go not like birds to the snare; come, for I am the power of flight and your wings and feet?" Did I not say to you, “They will waylay you and make you cold, for I am the fire and warmth and heat of your desire?" Did I not say to you, "They will implant in you ugly qualities so that you will forget that I am the source of purity to you?" Did I not say to you, "Do not say from what direction the servant's affairs come into order?" I am the Creator without directions.

In this poem "I am a sculptor, a molder of form", Rumi writes about Love and the idea of becoming One. Some people read his words and think about a deep soul connection with a loved one. Others believe this writing is about the act of embracing and merging with a Higher Power. Could it also be both? -- I am a sculptor, a molder of form. In every moment I shape an idol. But then, in front of you, I melt them down I can rouse a hundred forms and fill them with spirit, but when I look into your face, I want to throw them in the fire. My souls spills into yours and is blended. Because my soul has absorbed your fragrance, I cherish it. Every drop of blood I spill informs the earth, I merge with my Beloved when I participate in love. In this house of mud and water, my heart has fallen to ruins. Enter this house, my Love, or let me leave. --- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Aalaap in Raag Jhinjhoti - Sandeep Das, Adhiraj Chaudhuri -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/landscape-dream-child-tree-heart-1444023/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mevlana-celaleddin-i-rumi-1.jpg Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"At The Twilight" is a mystical and metaphorical poem by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi. The poem explores the themes of transformation, transcendence, and the merging of the self with the divine. It uses the imagery of a moon appearing in the sky and descending to earth to convey the idea of a spiritual journey and union with the divine. It evokes a sense of awe and wonder at the transformative power of spiritual experiences. Reference Rumi The Big Red Book, Translated by Coleman Parks -- RUMI At the twilight, a moon appeared in the sky. Then it landed on earth to look at me. Like a hawk stealing a bird at the time of prey, That moon stole me and rushed back into the sky. I looked at myself, I did not see me anymore. For in that moon, my body turned as fine as soul. The nine spheres disappeared in that moon. The ship of my existence drowned in that sea. -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- Credits MUSIC The Six Realms - I Think I Can Help You -- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mevlana-celaleddin-i-rumi-1.jpg Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons https://pixabay.com/photos/nature-heaven-moon-full-moon-3656121/

RUMI NO NEED TO ASK The one who brings wine pours again, no need to ask. Do you ask the moon to rise and give its light? When ranks of soldiers dissolve, dismissed for a holiday, when a lost hand reaches to touch the rescuing hand, when a candle next to a mirrored sconce gets lit, your presence enters my soul. -- Reference Rumi The Big Red Book, Translated by Coleman Parks -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- Credits MUSIC How Far We've Come - Cooper Cannell -- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mevlana-celaleddin-i-rumi-1.jpg Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons https://pixabay.com/videos/candle-candlelight-flame-light-123827/

Zero Circle is a mystical and metaphorical poem by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi. It is included in "Ten poems to change your life" by Roger Housden who said about it, "Rumi's poem goes on to speak of a Beauty that we are "too dull-eyed" to see." Reference Rumi The Big Red Book, Translated by Coleman Parks -- RUMI Zero Circle Be helpless, dumbfounded, Unable to say yes or no. Then a stretcher will come from grace To gather us up. We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty. If we say we can, we’re lying. If we say No, we don’t see it, That No will behead us And shut tight our window onto spirit. So let us rather not be sure of anything Besides ourselves, and only that, So miraculous beings come running to help. Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute. We shall be saying finally, With tremendous eloquence, Lead us. When we have totally surrendered to that beauty, We shall be a mighty kindness. -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- Credits MUSIC The Empty Moons of Jupiter - DivKid -- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mevlana-celaleddin-i-rumi-1.jpg Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons https://pixabay.com/videos/space-circle-purple-circle-stars-131735/

"When I Die" is one of the greatest poems written by the Persian Poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273). This poem is about eternal life after death, featuring Rumi’s inspirational views on the afterlife that begins after physical death. -- When I die when my coffin is being taken out you must never think I am missing this world Don't shed any tears Don't lament or feel sorry I'm not falling into a monster's abyss When you see my corpse is being carried don't cry for my leaving I'm not leaving I'm arriving at eternal love When you leave me in the grave don't say goodbye Remember a grave is only a curtain for the paradise behind You'll only see me descending into a grave Now watch me rise How can there be an end when the sun sets or the moon goes down It looks like the end It seems like a sunset but in reality it is a dawn When the grave locks you up that is when your soul is freed Have you ever seen a seed fallen to earth not rise with a new life? Why should you doubt the rise of a seed named human? Have you ever seen a bucket lowered into a well coming back empty? Why lament for a soul when it can come back like Joseph from the well?

"A moment of happiness", or "You and I" is one of the greatest poems written by Persian poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273). One of the values of a poem is love value. "Apparently two, but one in soul, you and I." This line shows how the writer feels as one with his Beloved. Rumi feels that he and his Beloved may be different in many things, for instance, characters, habit, but they are same in one thing. They have the same love. -- A moment of happiness, You and I sitting on the verandah, apparently two, but one in soul, you and I. We feel the flowing water of life here, you and I, with the garden’s beauty and the birds singing. The stars will be watching us, and we will show them what it is to be a thin crescent moon. You and I unselfed, will be together, indifferent to idle speculation, you and I. The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar as we laugh together, you and I. In one form upon this earth, and in another form in a timeless sweet land. -- Translated by Coleman Barks Read by Karen Golden -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Aalaap in Raag Jhinjhoti - Sandeep Das, Adhiraj Chaudhuri --- Photos and vids https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mevlana-celaleddin-i-rumi-1.jpg Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons https://pixabay.com/photos/sunset-mountains-landscape-woman-3832187/ https://pixabay.com/photos/geraniums-balcony-flowers-summer-2777459/ https://pixabay.com/photos/moon-sky-crescent-sunset-colorful-2682274/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"The Guest House" is one of the most well-known poems by the 13th-century Sufi mystic Jalaluddin Rumi. Rumi is using the metaphor of a guest house to form an image that each day is an opportunity to experience something new in our lives, even if it’s unpleasant and unexpected. -- 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. -- Translated by Coleman Barks Read by Karen Golden -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Arabian Nightfall - Doug Maxwell_Media Right Productions -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/videos/house-barn-pond-trees-waves-87134/ Mewlana Jalal ad-Din Rumi https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mevlana-celaleddin-i-rumi-1.jpg Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons --- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

Pain is a treasure, for it contains mercies; The kernel is soft when the rind is scraped off. O brother, the place of darkness and cold Is the fountain of Life and the cup of ecstasy. So also is endurance of pain and sickness and disease. For from abasement proceeds exaltation.

He wrote in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and even (at times) Greek. So even in his own day, there was something universal and even cosmopolitan about Rumi’s wisdom and ideas. "I Am Thine and Thou Art Mine" describes the speaker’s love for God, and how eternal life is obtained. The title references that which the speaker believes one should address to God. -- Eternal life is gained By utter abandonment of one’s own life. When God appears to His ardent lover, the lover is absorbed in Him, and not so much as a hair of the lover remains. True lovers are as shadows, and when the sun shines in glory the shadows vanish away. He is a true lover to God to whom God says “I am thine and thou art Mine.” -- Translated to English by R.A.
