RUMI | Poem of the Atoms (Subtitles) | Sufi Mysticism
Description: Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, better known simply as Rumi, was perhaps the greatest Sufi mystic and the finest Persian poet of all time. He had a great influence on Muslim writing and culture.
It is believed that Rumi would turn round and round while reciting his poetry, and it is this dance which formed the basis for the Whirling Dervishes, after his death. Dervish means doorway, and the dance is believed to be a mystical portal between the earthly and cosmic worlds.
Music Composition: Armand Amar
Rumi - Poem of the Atoms - Salar Aghili
O day, arise! The atoms are dancing
Thanks to Him the universe is dancing
The souls are dancing, overcome with ecstasy
I'll whisper in your ear where their dance is taking them
All the atoms in the air and in the desert know well, they are in a frenzy
Every single atom, happy or miserable
Becomes enamoured of the sun, of which nothing can be said

The Guest House - RUMI (Sufi Mysticism) Powerful Poem
Description: The Poem "The Guest House" by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi explores the Sufi concept of embracing adversity as a path to spiritual enlightenment. It encourages us to treat life's ups and downs as a “Guest” that is here to teach a valuable life lesson.
Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, better known simply as Rumi, was perhaps the greatest Sufi mystic and the finest Persian poet of all time. He had a great influence on Muslim writing and culture.
It is believed that Rumi would turn round and round while reciting his poetry, and it is this dance which formed the basis for the Whirling Dervishes, after his death. Dervish means doorway, and the dance is believed to be a mystical portal between the earthly and cosmic worlds.
Poem: The Guest House
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.

We Don’t Need to Seek Love. We Just Have to Stop Resisting It | The Wisdom of Rumi
Description: The 13th-century Sufi mystic Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī also known as Mevlana, or simply as Rumi, observed that all phenomena of nature are bound together by love. Love is what keeps planets orbiting their stars, stars encircling the centers of their galaxies, and electrons revolving around the nucleus of an atom.
Love is the force that keeps us together and moving and immerses an otherwise cold world of matter with warmth. Within the Islamic mystic branch that is known as Sufism, love is seen as a divine essence, and only through the path of love, we can see the truth and become one with the whole, like a drop that becomes one with the ocean.
But love is not something to be found outside of us in the material world. The divine essence, something that goes beyond the ego and the senses, lies already inside us at the core of our being. It’s a force that the intellect cannot comprehend and, therefore, our minds cannot search nor perceive it. But we can feel it. And it can only be revealed if we find freedom from what tethers us to the world of matter, and remove the barriers that separate us from a boundless ocean of love. We don't need to seek love. We just have to stop resisting it (the poetry of Rumi).

Shams Tabrizi Quotes That Will Change Your Life || The Spiritual Instructor of Jalal ad-Din Rumi
Description: Shams-i Tabrīzī (Persian: شمس تبريزي) or Shams al-Din Mohammad (1185–1248) was a Persian Shafi'ite poet, who is credited as the spiritual instructor of Mewlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhi, also known as Rumi and is referenced with great reverence in Rumi's poetic collection, in particular Diwan-i Shams-i Tabrīzī (The Works of Shams of Tabriz). Tradition holds that Shams taught Rumi in seclusion in Konya for a period of forty days, before fleeing for Damascus. The tomb of Shams-i Tabrīzī was recently nominated to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
According to Sipah Salar, a devotee and intimate friend of Rumi who spent forty days with him, Shams was the son of the Imam Ala al-Din. In a work entitled Manāqib al-'arifīn (Eulogies of the Gnostics), Aflaki names a certain 'Ali as the father of Shams-i Tabrīzī and his grandfather as Malikdad. Apparently basing his calculations on Haji Bektash Veli's Maqālāt (Conversations), Aflaki suggests that Shams arrived in Konya at the age of sixty years. However, various scholars have questioned Aflaki's reliability.
Shams received his education in Tabriz and was a disciple of Baba Kamal al-Din Jumdi. Before meeting Rumi, he apparently traveled from place to place weaving baskets and selling girdles for a living. Despite his occupation as a weaver, Shams received the epithet of "the embroiderer" (zarduz) in various biographical accounts including that of the Persian historian Dawlatshah Samarqandi. This however, is not the occupation listed by Haji Bektash Veli in the Maqālat and was rather the epithet given to the Ismaili Imam Shams al-din Muhammad, who worked as an embroiderer while living in anonymity in Tabriz. The transference of the epithet to the biography of Rumi's mentor suggests that this Imam's biography must have been known to Shams-i Tabrīzī's biographers. The specificities of how this transference occurred, however, are not yet known.

Why was I ever created? - RUMI (Powerful poetry) Sufi Mysticism
Description: Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, better known simply as Rumi, was perhaps the greatest Sufi mystic and the finest Persian poet of all time. He had a great influence on Muslim writing and culture.
It is believed that Rumi would turn round and round while reciting his poetry, and it is this dance which formed the basis for the Whirling Dervishes, after his death. Dervish means doorway, and the dance is believed to be a mystical portal between the earthly and cosmic worlds.
Poem: Why Was I Ever Created?
Every day, I meditate upon this, and every night I groan
Why is my own existence to myself the least known?
Whence have I come, why this coming here?
Where to must I go, when will my home to me be shown?
I am in desperate awe, why was I ever created?
For this, my creation, whatsoever was the reason?
Whatever is of the celestial realm, of that I speak
I am ready to go, my clothes are packed to be away thrown.
Why, take me to the tavern of that mighty King
I am drunk of that aroma, only by that wind may be blown
Joyous be that day that in search of the beloved
I take wing towards that land, upon that air I am flown.
Where is that ear that can hear my speech and song?
Who is the one who puts voice in this mouth of dust and stone?
Who is in these eyes through which gazes out to see?
Who is the one who wears this garment of flesh and bone?
Until I am lead without a doubt to my way home,
I will hold my breath, will only complain and moan.
Let me taste the wine of eternal communion
Cry out in drunkenness, intoxicated, broken, alone.
I did not come here on my own accord, nor will I thus leave
He who brought me here, shall return me to my very own.
Think not that I write these verses in a sober state
If sober, such seeds I could not possibly have sown.
Shams-e Tabriz, if you show not your face here and now
My earthly corpse, by God, I shall surely disown.
Between my beloved and I this is the only veil
It is time to unveil and disrobe the light that brightly shone
With extreme joy I tear and shred my earthly garment
By casting of my clothes, into the glory of my soul I’ve grown.
I wear this earthly corps for what use, to what avail?
I am not a cawing crow, of heavenly birds is my tone
I am a bird of Paradise, I am not of the earthy realm
For a few days imprisoned in my cage of flesh and bone.
My soul is my guide, for my soul is of that abode
I will not speak of the earthly, I am of the unknown.
The fragrant morning breeze brings news of union
With joy and with song I’ll leave this cage, this earthly throne.

Poem: In Silence
A guide has entered this life in silence.
His message is only heard in silence.
Take a sip of his precious wine
And lose yourself.
Don’t insult the greatness of his love,
For he helps all those who suffer, in silence.
Polish the mirror between the breaths.
Go with him, beyond words.
He knows your every deed.
He is the one
who moves the wheel of heaven, in silence.
Every thought is buried in your heart;
He will reveal them one by one, in silence.
Turn each of your thoughts into a bird
And let them fly to the other world.
One is an owl, one is a falcon, one is a crow.
Each one is different from the others
But they are all the same in silence.
To see the Moon that cannot be seen
Turn your eyes inward
and look at yourself, in silence.
In this world and the next,
Don’t talk about this and that;
Let him show you everything,
shining as one . . . in silence.
