Poetry by RUMI -- Only Breath

"A deep engagement in eternity"!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this lovely video. It moves me.

Sat Nam

Well, my understanding of this poem is , Rumi is trying to Explain There is no one Except One God .And He is beyond the Imagination what we humans think of ? Our simple mind has limit but GOD is Limitless in everything . He is everywhere .

Enjoyed that. Thanks.

Awesome!

amazing!
thanks

Ok what Rumi is talking about is the height of spiritual experience where one feel as if one has become one with GOD, not to say Rumi is GOD. He understands to some extent the limitlessness of GOD.
But problem with kind of ideals is that simples minds of masses cannot understand it, they start to think that they are parts in GOD themselves or in His powers.

THAT, Thou Art.

Neti Neti! Not This Not That.
Only Timeless Being. Devoid of Identities, unidentified, endless, beginningless. Indescribable, unamginable ISNESS. Just This and Nothing Else!

A breathtaking video...Alhamdulillah! :)

but he also said that he wasn't from the east or the west, and that he wasn't from this world, or the next... he is saying that he is NOTHING...
if the soul isn't grown enough, it's very hard for it to understand these kind of things...

Rumi is saying it doesn't matter what he is - all that matters is we all remember we are human beings. When we forget that, nations fight and fight and fight.

@ liimra99 : God is One , All is One
Why divide your understanding of "God" ?
I hope he meant that Rumi is God , what i also hope is that he didn't mean he ONLY was God .
For God is without limit , therefor You and Me are also God .
As is everything and everyone.

Namaste

I think he ment .. the Being, the Supreme ;)

Rumi said he is not Muslim nor Sufi?
I hope this is kidding me ?!

RUMI LIVES!!!!!

oh yes my friends but does manking believe it is the agony...

OH we could just become humanbeings...

Rumi's words show how heaven can be on earth...I will never give up hope for us all
and to my beloved...I love you!

Stakverullah, I hope you didn't mean literally God.
All in all the best poet ever born.

I second you on your comment! Well said! only one critic: You contradict your self somehow by the statment that:"1st of all Rumi was Persian " If it doesn't matter where Rumi was from, which as you said it doesn't, then your statment would have been much more valid if you hadn't, mentioned Rumi being a Persian.
Thank you,and Kheir pish!

wow absolutly out of this world. he is God

People who are proud of the achievements of others are not always racist. It's ok to have pride & love for your home/country etc and people from such places.

However, I agree that we should try to all see the bigger picture and not get caught up in things like extreme patriotism which can lead to racism.

Islam teaches that there are different nations so we may recognise one another and do good works with each other, but we are all equal.

So let's celebrate heroes, but without idolising.

I 've noticed something very unusual people who are very racest narrow mind and backward they always say i am proud of my heroes from war heroes to academics philosphers and physicians from wright to wrong but they don't know anything about reality themselves let rumi or any other noble man be from everywhere as it may bring people close and make a strong friendship.

wah wah doroud bar shoma dost dana wa sahib e aqil o alm wa adab az once said SHARAFAT EL INSANE BIL ALM WAL ADAB
WA LA BIL MAL E WAL NASAB
this is very true a noble man who does not belong to any place or race or tribe should be lift alone he was a light for all humanity so we should let it be like that

Beautiful Rumi, KozanOOz, Great video response you made friend. One Planet, One People

Beautiful marriage of image, music, and poetry. This was awe-inspiring and has set the tone of my day. . .thank you.
