Rumi's poems elegantly and consistently touch our inner being and inspire us to go beyond our limitations towards the Divine.
The music: The credits do appear at the end of this video, but it is by the composer, Eleni Karaindrou, and is the theme music called "Eternity and a Day" from the movie, Aggelopoulos.
A note on the music: This entire video was constructed in silence-only the poem and the images were put together without my knowing what music would be the right one. The music is so important to the interpretation of these poems. Rather than reading them, the music is my voice. When I 'laid' this beautiful piece of music over the video it fit perfectly. Few edits were made to accomodate the images to fit the music. They seem to be made for each other.
Note for those who overlook the message and want to 'claim' Rumi as their own (country, nationality, language) they've missed the point completely and these comments will be deleted.

By chatimentz [Affiliate User] 1201367525 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou are not really wise my friend.
It is simply a way to be grateful, thankful together. Nothing wrong with that.
In fact many calls to prayer would be outlawed if that were true.
By Chivalryaintdead [Affiliate User] 1201358367 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveActually that is a Wahabi tradition, as far as I know the Koran does not outlaw music or dancing.
There would be no music ever made in a muslim country if this were true.
I am not a Sufi or a Muslim, only a person that has studied various sects of Islam casually.
What do Imam ash-Shaf'ee (rahimahullaah)say about the SUFI'S?
Baihaqee reports in Manaqib ash-Shaaf'ee,
"If a man becomes a Sufi in the first part of the day, by the time Zhohr comes upon him you will find him crazy."

I agree with that statement, suffering brings about acceptance of God's will, whether your life is hard or easy, accepting God's will is key to having true faith.
I have at times been able to accept God's will fully, and yet at other times I do not accept it, and sin by turning my face from God's will. Finding your way back to him by accepting and asking for forgiveness is key when you stumble.
you are right and he is right as well. He is trying to say that with spirituality comes responsibility. God Himself says : With difficulty comes ease". meaning inherent in the difficulty is the ease. one should feel the pleasure of God while he or she suffers or worships. worshipping or sufferring is an existential movement toward perfection.

By i689 [Affiliate User] 1201200302 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThank you for this wise word
"I'm trying to be, as much as possible, 0" This trancends all religions.
Jesus himself said "If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all"
and another place he said "For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake, he is the one who will save it"
"People of Spirituality, they suffer a lot but they don't complain" Whatt? In my view spirituality frees from suffering. Spirituality is like you are drunk without drinking. It is happiness, not suffering like the burning candle. Only non spiritual people suffer.
