Poetry by RUMI -- Only Breath

- Only Breath is one of Rumi's most powerful poems on the Spirit. Here he so clearly shows us that we are all one and inextricably linked to each other even though, through thousands of years, we have been conditioned to believe otherwise. Our true nature transcends race, religion, gender and borders. Looking at our beautiful blue planet from the outside, how can we possibly believe otherwise.
Rūmī was a thirteenth century poet, theologian and mystic. By his mid 20’s he had become an accomplished and highly influential figure in the community. However, a chance meeting with an eccentric dervish by the name of Shams Tabrīz, who was in search of a master student, would cause him to walk away from his life of privilege forever. And the world would never be the same.
Only Breath
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 the 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.

"That there is a drop in the ocean, everyone knows. But that there is an ocean in the drop, only a few know". Kabir.
Wonderful video. Thanks.
Rumi's poems are beautiful. Spoken with this strong and resonant voice, even more beautiful. You won't want this video to end.
The same with Rehman Baba, both came from Afghanistan. Rehman Baba said: We are all one human being if you hurt another human you are simply hurting yourself.
😍
I’m nearly sure the voice is, of Dr Wayne Dyer.
@@bernadetteoflaherty2617 I soon after found that Coleman Barks recited the poem in this recording, as I'd known if I'd read the fine print in the info, above. After that I found many UA-cam videos of his performances, plus some interviews. I'm still in love with his voice.
Rosalie DeGregory wow he sounds so much like Wayne Dyer. Yes your right beautiful voice. Beautiful poem too. 😊
Rumi's poetry is timeless in nature and universal in its spirit.
Thank you for posting this poem masterpiece. Very meditative. Best regards for all my Brothers and Sisters of any religions from me a Moslem.
No separation, no union, all is nothing and nothing is all
"I belong to the Beloved"
Thank you, this is beautiful. I love how the drum beat feels like a heartbeat.
Rumi Poetry is intoxicating and Rumi knew people will love him so he says himself: Do not look for me I AM YOU.
Maestro poet!
He speaks of enlightenment of self only worthy thing to do.
Essence the spirit is what matters. Spirit is infinite immense and small as a pinhead. All is one all is essence of life
no words ....only tears :)) you need a heart to feel Rumi or Sufi poetry....Eternal Peace !!
No religion, no country, no colour.
The gift of this breath is my religion.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful poem.
Truly Speaking Hz. Mawlana Jalal-ad-Din Muhammad Rumi's poetry is the poetic Translation and explation of the Quran. A great Poet every Muslim and Every Man on earth should love. May Allah Bestow all His blessings on him
RUMI is so humble he takes no credit for his own poetry. He says in one place: Whoever put elliquence in language this is what is happening here.
Timeless.....Rumi
Beautiful, each I read from Mawlana the more I fall in love with him, its amazing, thank you for the video much appreciated.
I imagine reading in Dari would be more Beautiful...
One and Only, RUMI..the place-less, and the timeless!
Rumi songs from the hearts desire, oh so clear and so near the luminous vibrating beeing of existance...no one has discribed this that IS more varm more tender...than Rumi...
This is a Masterpiece.
The poetry, the depth of wisdom, the ultimate universal teachings, the photography.... all is superb n perfect.
Many thanks - one of my favorite poetry shorts to make
Rumi's words touch my soul..resonate so deeply, i feel like i know the words already...everytime i read any of his words, i feel like they are my own
Here you are my beloved I have found u again. Resonating beyond who I think I am. Eternally greatful I remain as you grow beyond my own awareness and consciousness. ... My divine beloved...
Absolutely mesmerizing & beautiful. Thank you so much.
Wise wise wise and so God damn beautiful 👍💜 priceless wisdom priceless beauty priceless soul. Pure ascension path and achievement. We should rename an ocean Rumi s name. Agreed by a world council and voted worldwide for this is the true dimension of this man and his beloved Tamz.
extraordinery..!. not anyone have that much lucky to experiance that level.
I belong to the Beloved!
everyone belong to the beloved , it,s just not everyone knows it , that was the difference between a few ones like Rumi and the others.
nice effect - video with Coleman Barks reading Rumi and views of Earth from space
Words do not express the attraction I have to Rumi's words. His words express my soul as no one has before.
"Our politicians and generals would do well to absorb the lessons of this poem."
Happy Birthday Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, aka Rumi was born September 30, 1207 in Persia. He was a Persian poet, Islamic jurist, theologian and mystic. His greatest work of mystical poetry includes 'Matnawiye Ma'nawi'. He died December 17, 1273 age 66 leaving a wonderful legacy.
He was actully born in Balkh Afghanistan thats why he was called jalal ad-din Balkhi, he later moved to the saljak state of rum or modern turkey so that's why they call him rumi in the west
Get your facts right, he was born in Balkh, a city in modern day Afghanistan and back then - Khorasan.
If you really cared about Rumi, you wouldnt start a comment against the very spirit of Rumi's message in this video.
Please take a moment to enjoy this before bedtime if u get the chance. Im thankful for all my friends and family out there. Madlove to all and goodnight.
I watch this , have lost count how many times ..I just love everything about it and adore Rumi ..he was a true poet of the soul and the soul knows no boundaries..
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
Wow, thoroughly enjoyed the production & all its contributing factors, Love me some Rumi! The performances of his poems I find on YT for the most part are extraordinary. Bless up! 💥
I am interested in reading more of Rumi's writings. This is fascinating to me, very new to me.
Chills all over. Such a beautiful rendition. Profound.
It is so remarkable to read or hear Rumi. His philosophy. Surprising that poets like this existed in the most turbulent lands where many human rights are neglected and violence and intolerance to other religions are the norm. Both the poetry,Video and narration is superb.
One of the.best of Rumi ever Love it
I watch and listen to these words and am moved. Then I read comments from others and
am overcome with sadness. Why can't we just
allow the spirit in the words to move in us? If it does not, move on. Why the hate filled comments?
With out doubt one of the gretest Sufi and this poem fully symbolises what is in his mind. Forget about where's he from and who he was celebrate this amazing thinkers depth of understanding that most of us will never come any where near close to in matching and then show him the respect by following his example.
This is so beautifull ! This is the only true message for mankind.
it is not to be understood with the intellect but with the heart .....the heart that beats in all humanity and that One conciousness and the Source of all beings. Awakening to this knowing no matter the differences of belief or culture ..they are only superficial learning with the mind the Truth of Life that cannot be Believed but experienced arises from the heart. Rumi s words belong to that which transcends the mind.
From Rumi's poem, to the narrators voice, to the images of earth from space, to the powerful heartbeat, all came together in harmony and resulted in a fabulous piece of work. Good job man.
beautifull poem.. more of the creation of a man. we all are just multiplication of single cell.. we all are humans..the difference is color and language jst help in identification and religion help us in the ability to understand the existence of his creation..
lovely said by "urbanguru", this poem needs some deep deep level of understanding..and not all of us are tat much educated to understand it..
a great piece by the great Afghan poet MOULANA JALALUDDIN BALKHI (RUMI)

"...everything has to do with loving and not loving." ~ Rumi Thank you for this beautiful experience in sound and sight, D. J. Kadagian.
Very truth. Nice thanks for sharing with us.
A great poem of who we are and what we are to become. Thanks for the share!
Peace!
Too beautiful its left me thinking
Thank you for sharing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!
Too wonderful to take it all in l thought the the soul was everything 🙏
as a aspiring writer, I found this very intriguing and touching.
his style is very complex yet understandable
he speaks from what i can only assume is deeper than that of the heart and soul
It makes me think that I still have a lot to learn about not only writing,but the world as well
his work is amazing and I hope to see more
Beautiful
The way this it read is mesmerizing. Excellent.
When you leasen Rumi in persian is realy something else, The original Language

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love. - Kahlil Gibran
I'm learning farsi at DLI and Rumi is my main inspiration in attaining the language, his words could dissolve the cultural differences that in that environment nowadays, right!
Rumi is speaking on the formless self. That doesn't have to do with religion, race, politics or education. Rumi is speaking on being the formless. But people's ego's tries to come up with labels to try and name something that is fomless.They try and label thru Reilgion but it can't be named. It can only be experienced thru the individual.
I love Rumi!
Thank you for sharing!
A breathtaking video...Alhamdulillah! :)
@SmallieM , when we have open minds and hearts, when we sincerely feel strong Universal Love, our Love feeling is so pwerful that we can even feel compassion and love for those who don't understand us. Thank you for sharing , I'll share as well ;-) Peace
I love this!!
Literally spiritual....
simply........"Breathtaking!"
