Thats kinda like God giving you a gift and you saying to God "thanks but you have it". And that conversation ends when the never ending back n forth ends ..forever.. Actually, the correct response is simply thank you. Then tend and care for it as a gift; like you are going to pass it on to your children the same way God gave it to you (Which is how God designed and intended).. but that's more practical and not as "esoteric" or "mystical" ...or flakey.. and requires waaaay less responsibility...kinda like "new n improved" age "thinkers"; trying to save the world with the" latest greatest" built in obsolete upgradable 10 billion megapixel i-whathaveyou .

Here in Indonesia, we teach psychology of tasawwuf in psychology program. Rumi is the most important figure and we explore his work. However, lacking of knowledge in tasawwuf as part Islamic science is our weakness. This video (and your other videos) help a alot! Thank you so much. I hope you can cover more topics in tasawwuf which are relatable for modern people, their needs and issues. For example, we use Rumi's poetry "Guest House" to help ease depression/ emotional pain, give constructive meaning to suffering, and repair broken relationship with God. Many other poetries of Rumi have similar potential.

Surprisingly, few among us tend to overlook the fact that even though Rumi was born and raised within the Islamic tradition, his teachings did not confine him to promoting unity solely among Muslims. Instead, his writings consistently emphasize unity, discouraging divisions of any sort, and acting as a bridge between the Creator and His creation which includes every human being. Just as a medical book written by a Christian isn't meant exclusively for Christian medical students, it's incorrect to label Rumi's writings as purely Islamic. His teachings cater to all who seek spiritual guidance, regardless of their religious or philosophical background. Though I was born to Sunni Muslim parents, my journey in Tasawuf has broadened my horizons, allowing me to study scriptures from various religions. This has enabled me to overlook "Form" and rather focus on "Meaning" thus connecting me with spiritual seekers regardless of their religious affiliations or ethnic backgrounds.

@farshidmarwi9534 9 ай бұрын

In his verse “I was raw, I got cooked, I burned” “Xãm bodam, poxte shodam, suxtam” it has got way more in itself than just word for word translation. In Persian, to be raw is when you have just come of age, you are strong, grown and powerful but you don’t have the mental strength to avoid the consequences of your actions or power, you hurt you or those around you unintentionally. To be cooked is when you are wise enough to consider the consequences of your actions, when you don’t do anything without considering the result. To be burning in other words means restlessness, to be burning to achieve something precious, or to dedicate all you got for a noble cause. So if you know the context of those words and the deeper meaning of what Rumi says just one verse of his poem get you thinking for a long time and it is what makes Rumi “Rumi”.

@@is-nessWhile I dont disagree that there are multiple paths to the top of the mountain to Rumi specifically the top of the mountain was Jannah, heaven in Islam. Specifically Jannat-al-Firdaus, the closest level of heaven to the Creator. The intent is indistinguishable from tasawwuf and Qur'anic spirituality. To understand his work beyond superficial similiarities one would need to have at least a working knowledge of his tradition. To Rumi, a Muslim practicing tasawwuf, detachment is not the same as the concept of detachment/nonattachment is to a Hindu, Daoist, Jainist or Buddhist- on a fundamental level. Of the more well known practices, the Dao would be the most similiar to tasawwuf (the Daoists' focus on being in harmony with the Tao is somewhat similiar) but they still have deep differences at the core. The end goals of these are not the end goals of tasawwuf. It is true, to someone practicing detachment it appears similiar in scope. However, saying "read him closely and you will hear him say this too" is subjectively based on your experience. Nothing wrong with that of course, just pointing out that unless you have read Rumis' work (or other Sufi scholar poets, especially around his time period) in full, his scholarly work that fuses the academic portion of tasawwuf with the spiritual portion, then you aren't getting the full picture. Read him closely with an intimate understanding of his background and you will hear that what he is saying is deeply intertwined with his Islamic tasawwuf tradition, because to Rumi detachment and dissolution of ego is inseperable from the tradition and its beliefs. He himself would disagree with your statement while still commending your spiritual practice. If he had the opportunity to study other spiritual practices that place an emphasis on nonattachment, he would likely say that they were all means to attain the top but that they fall short.

his poetry is so profound because rumi was a highly awakened being. a lot of his poetry is about enlightenment and awakening. after awakening, you shed your old practices, rituals, religion and old identity - he is not just a sufi or just a muslim anymore, he is beyond all of those worldly concepts. that's why the mass appeal.

This is the best video explaining Rumi that I have seen from Persian-speaking or English-speaking researchers, covering the most important (and reliable) parts of his philosophy, message, and biography. I would like to leave one of my favorite quotes (among many) from Rumi: "Do not seek water any more, earn the thirst To see water fountains from ups and downs (here and there, everywhere)" One pillar of his philosophy is that "seeking reunion" (which is what Rumi calls love as it is everywhere) is two-ways attraction: as much the fields (of flower) crave water, water searches for the fields; as much pain needs remedy, remedy looks for pain; as much a question looks for a solution, the solution wants to solve that problem; This duality, and the universal force for unity, is the "force/gravity/attraction/essence of life", which is called love. At the beginning, everything was one (the essence, God, spirit, etc) and then became two (opposites) and then manifested in many forms and created this world with an ever-lasting desire to become one, embedded in every piece of the existence. So, do not seek water any more, just become more thirsty: water will find you (will open your senses to see it).

Teşekkür ederim and Shukran for your wonderful introduction to the great mystic Rumi. I have watched dozens of your videos and your presentation here is outstanding. I have been reading, absorbing, and reflecting on Rumi's Mathnavi for months and, of course, reading various commentaries on his life. I have also had the good fortune to make a pilgrimage to Konya this June where I circled, so to speak, the places associated with his life many times. Naturally I met so many wonderful people as well. Your presentation has helped me to integrate what I have seen and felt. You may find it interesting that among the Ojibwe Nation of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Southern Canada that their prayers often contain the phrase, Manitou, make me a hollow bone. Here the emphasis is like Rumi's annihilation of the self and yet a little different, let me be of use to others -- not just the human world but also the plant and animal world. Thank you again for your lovely teaching which is both so rich in wisdom and so deep in inspiration. A'o!

Many people think rumi (ra) was just a poet not a practicing muslim but you will be shocked that he followed sharia fully . He says in his masnavi that when i pray /nimaz i get so lost in it that i dont remember who is leading the prayer or in which physical position i am . His color used to change /pale whenmuazzin used to call for prayer . He says "im the dust on the path of Muhammad (saw)"

What an amazing work. Thank you Filip. I grew up in Konya and Mevlana is very popular there. I definitely would suggest anyone to visit that beautiful city. There's an incredible novel about Rumi and Sems-Tebriz by Elif Safak called "Love". I recommend reading it. My favorite quote by him; "Either seem as you are or be as you seem. " The most known quote of Mevlana Celaleddîn-i Rumî, written on a frame above the entrance of his tomb.
