- On Reason and Passion -
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.
But how shall I, unless you yourselves be also the peacemakers, nay, the lovers of all your elements?
Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.
If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.
For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing; And let it direct
your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.
I would have you consider your judgment and your appetite even as you would two loved guests in your house.
Surely you would not honour one guest above the other; for he who is more mindful of one loses the love and the faith of both.
Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows - then let your heart say in silence, “God rests in reason.”
And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of the sky,- then let your heart say in awe, “God moves in passion.”
And since you are a breath in God’s sphere, and a leaf in God’s forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.
"let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;
And let it direct your passion with reason,
that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection,
and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes."
Hope you enjoy this one! Is Gibran one of the greatest poets of all time?
He really is!!! There are so many greats!!!
He is definitely one of the greats. Very close to the top of the list IMO.😔
Comparison is das thief of joy.
Das best is hardly known to man;
He probably lives on mountains and composes until he dies.
@@satnamo: Well said; it made me smile with joy. Kudos to you for this.
hey man love your vidios thank you so much for yoour time and effort
“ Rest in reason and move in passion” - powerful lines 💫

It's deep

Can you elaborate and explain it deeply?
Khalil's poetic way of expressing truth and insight is unlike any others.
Such humans add so much to all of us
He's Poem in majority makes no sense man no joke really !

“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.” ― Marcus Aurelius
I pray so
Loved it!
I can’t stress enough how much I love this channel.
Getting older was the only time i tuned into poems especially gibran’s. Starting to believe poems are mankind’s instrument to cry out for help, knowing nobody’s coming to save you.
Same for me. I always brushed off poetry in school and college. Now I think it's the most important writing we have.
“And passion, unattended,
is a flame that burns to its own destruction.”
spontaneous combustion 🔥 f.r.
@JLT GOD IS..
■▪︎. 🔥 a consuming fire
Felt that
How can a passion that's not found or looked over can be harmful or destructive?
@muhammedzayn27 you answered your own question. 😅

Its shane morris.
Can't hold myself from tearing up🥺
Indeed poetry can do magic. Modern day Psychology says we have two minds- the Emotional (here, referred to as Passion), the other Cognitive (here, Reason). They have inhibitory connections to each other. The emotional mind is the more rudimentary kind (the 'reptilian brain') and though it comes handy in times of emergency, it is the cognitive mind keeping a check on the overdoings of the other that makes us humans different from other animals. This complex understanding of psychology has been simply yet succinctly put through in this poem. This can perhaps inspire readers/listeners 1000 times more than dry facts from a psychology book could (where I learnt it from). And therein lies the beauty and triumph and importance of Art! 💖
Absolutely!

Oh how I loved this! It brought tears to my eyes. Everything within us that appears "conflicting" shares the same space that we are. When the perceived inner conflict is no longer perceived as conflict but rather felt as co-existence, peace ensues. We need only to allow all that we are to co-exist peacefully within. When we experience this inside, all the apparent "conflict" outside also begins to feel as co-existence. All part of the same shared space that we are.
give me a reason! give me a passion! give me a purpose! and I shall pursue it all the days of my life..
purpose and passion.. what else
passion is the purpose reason is the protecter of passion
This man's voice. Perfection.
The voice was so soothing I couldn’t pay attention to the actual poem
We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
Be Like The Flower ,Turn Your faces To The Sun. ~ Khalil Gibran
Nourishment for my heart, soul and mind. ❤️❤️❤️
we are all.. very well nourished here
Wow, powerful, moving and beautiful at the same time. Those are some of the most powerful life changing words I have heard today. Thank you
👋
"There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed."
So, don’t give up on your dreams; improve and educate yourself to succeed!
Soo Profound regards ❤😂
you know something is fantastic when it is over before the feeling of exhilaration has left you
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”1 Corinthians 1:18
No body asked … let’s just enjoy the poem
@@Soulsomeliving Excuse me, but t this poem does have God in it, so I think him quoting a Bible verse such as this one fits perfectly. You didn't need to be a thumb gangster, all u needed to do was push it along. Clearly if you don't believe in God then why are you here listening to a poem that clearly involves God.......
@@Andy-be4kp she never said that she did not belive in God..
why assume.. what you do not know.. ?
@@Soulsomeliving hey
i want some of that delicious looking "soul" food on your channel.. 😁
@Be Lionel Scott amen..
Life and God.. are nice.. 🌤

It's though to realize the hard truths and realities of how we treat ourselves.
Hii
The dear person that's reading this, we don't know each other but I wish you all the best in life❤ don't ever blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Your smile is precious and a key to a happy life...
Message for you: Words spoken behind your back is not meant to be heard if it was so they would have told you. (FACTS)
true
…..and if you hear it, don’t pay attention to it. The talkers are only talking about their perceptions not about you. You know what you are and you know who you are.
I shall remember this saying especially now, as I expect it and sense it in my life right now. Thanks!!
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield ❤️ agreed
Absolutely fantastic! I'm so glad I found out about all of these wonderful poets through your channel! You guys are the best
I always thought that I have no passion to speak of. Yet this late in life I discover marvelous passion.
The kind that provides joy where I had totally given up all hope. Now I pray that I know what to do and what to say. Te Amo, Te Amo, Te Amo, 🤴💓🎄🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Oh, my heart exalts in joy and will repair the damage done for this wonderful positive mark. I thank
bowing before the king of my heart.
God bless. Te Amo, Te Amo, Te Amo,
🤴♥️💛😘🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

This is Insanely Spectacular.
Thank you. How can I have gone thru life without hearing this beautiful poem? I was ready to give up on my work (passion) until I heard this. This is priceless.
It's so beautiful...
And we create similar contents..😁
I wish I can also reach this level and help some people..😊
Without passion
Existence is impossible

My confirmation bias just loves this poem...bravo
Art
True love is given to us by heaven and it cannot end suddenly like a hurricane wind frozen in the forest. I will never come to terms with the end of feelings. My last love is late and no one has the right to destroy something that hasn’t even begun yet. Yes, my dear, you are right. "Happiness loves silence." Now I will listen to your wise advice and will not show my feelings for everyone to see. All around are enemies and black envious people, for whom it is not enough to destroy the life of another with witchcraft. They also continue to try out of their own anger that they are not given our level of intelligence and creativity, the ability to truly love, be sarcastic and command the destinies of others simply by pretending that they are smarter than the whole world... I believe in Fate, and she cannot be cruel to someone who has already suffered enough. I hope deep inside my soul that our happiness is still quite possible...
Need someone something
Is there such a thing?
What is life is life connection?
What is not knowing?
Is knowing growth?
Where Is nowhere.
What is wind?
Where am I going?
Why did they Go ?and am I gone yet?
I like this voice
This Channel is the reason why I endlessly was surfing on my phone. Gratefull and happy to have found it 🙏

His voice tells the truth

The slow motion of a chameleon is not stupidity!
I love this poem by him, glad to see it's here.
PERFECTION. 🙏🏼
You have to stand up for what is right.
Do not sacrifice your soul to placate narcissism
Thank you for your legacy Khalil Gibran. Such powerful words. Thank you narrator Shane for your beautiful voice and reading.
Anyone plzz explain it in simple language
In simple words, there should be a balanced relationship between head/reason and heart/passion.
Very Powerful👍👍
If you could bring in a change
Be it you or me
Will your enemies sleep?

You know, I just had a conversation back and forth with somebody on roblox. It was pointless. But in the end, the guy was surprised by my age and my grammar. And I guess I learned some stuff.
Thank you bro. I love you.. Im enchanted to this voice but I don't know the reader... Because of you, Ive known his name.... Thank you..
I swallowed a pill today. This pill, which I know will guide my life until I fall, but as a dry leaf in the green forest. The pill of wisdom-chief driver of my resting in reason and my moving in passion. Thank God I came here!!
...such a beautiful recitation of this deeply touching poem---Thank you.
Just as with Alan Watts after him, a great soul snuffed prematurely by Alcohol and Tobacco. How come they are not part of a Public Health crisis?
Thank you. His poetic descriptions of many aspects of life with such wisdom are unprecedented. Elicits deep thought and innermost searching. Beautiful.
No homo this brudda has the poetry ting on 🔒
I feel god ruins this poem by virtue of being in it
Wise words from a wise man. Nothing more to say. Thanks for this one RF channel. Great channel yours is!
I'm 14 anything for me??
Maybe one day I'll see those white poplars, I'll rest in their shade and watch the storm approaching from across the sea. I'll feel the wind grow still and see for myself this passion the Prohpet spoke of. Words are beautiful but I am glad they are not enough.
The profit is the greatest thing I discovered in college. Dropped out shortly after words. Realizing I need nothing more..
Rest In Reason
Move In Passion..
Yep
You should start posting on your Instagram I look forward to it 🙂✊🏼
Joy and sorrow is also a master piece
