When good information comes - You know it right away - Rumi

RUMI says:

Even someone who hasn't lost a camel, who doesn't even own a camel gets in on the excitement
"Yes I've lost my camel too"
"A big reward for whoever finds it"
He says this to be part owner of your camel when you find it.

If you say to someone's helpful suggestion, "No I don't think so"
The imitator says the same thing immediately: "No I don't think so either"

When good information comes - you know it right away
it is medicine to you - it brings colour to your face
strength to your body, your eyes brighten, your feet get lively and agile
You say thank you my friend - this truth you give me is like freedom to me
Please go in front and you be the leader
You have the scent of my camel better than I do

But the imitator does not feel the intensity of these clues.

I have come to drag you out of your self

I have come to drag you out of your self
and take you into my heart.
I have come to bring out the beauty
you never knew you had
and lift you like a prayer to the sky.
If no one recognizes you, I do
because you are my life and soul.
Don't run away, accept your wounds and
let bravery be your shield.
It takes a thousand stages
for the perfect being to evolve.
Every step of the way I will walk with you
and never leave you stranded.
Be patient, do not open the lid too soon
simmer away until you are ready.
In this game I make the rules.
I roll you like a ball and chase you
when I choose.
--- RUMI

Put aside your clever schemes! O Lover... - Rumi

 

Put aside your clever schemes!
O lover, be mindless! Become mad!
Dive into the heart of the flame!
Become fearless! Be like a moth!
Turn away from the self
and tear down the house!

Then, come and dwell in the house of love!
Be a lover! Live with lovers!
Clean your chest from all hostility.
Wash it seven times.

Then, fill it with the wine of love!
Be a chalice for love! Be a chalice!
You must be all love
to be worthy of the beloved.

When going to the gathering of drunks,
be a drunk! Become drunk!
The earring of the lovely ones
is intimate with beauty!
If you long for love’s intimacy,
be a precious pearl. Be a pearl!

If your soul is lifted to heaven
when you hear this song,
dissolve in the melody of love.
Be a love song! Be a song!
Don’t dread the darkness of denial.
Be the radiance of creative power.
Be the light! Be a haven of the spirit!
Be a haven of light! Be a haven!

Your thought takes a course
dragging you in its wake.
Move beyond thought!
Let your heart lead! Be the leader!
Passion and caprice
are locks leashing our hearts.
Become the key to the locks!
Open your heart! Be the key!

The light of the Chosen One
made a pillar moan!
You are surely more than a post!
Yearn for love! Be the moaning!

~Rumi

What is your life about, anyway?

What is your life about, anyway?
Nothing but a struggle to be someone.
Nothing but a running from your own silence.

The meaning of Allaha by OSHO

[Prem means love, Allaha is a sufi name for God.]

Allaha is far more significant than the word 'God.' In fact no other word in any language of the world exists which is more important than this word. All other words used for God are at the most qualities of God. They are not as comprehensive as 'Allaha.' Allaha simply means existence. It contains all: it contains good, it contains bad; it contains life, it contains death. It is not a quality, but all the good qualities of the totality. And it does not mean existent, it means existence.

Man is an existent. God is existence Himself. To say 'God exists' is a tautology; it simply means 'existence exists.' It doesn't make sense. The tree exists, the man exists, the mountain exists, but not God. Existence is a quality of the mountain; with God it is the very spirit. The mountain exists today, tomorrow it may not exist. There was a time when it was not there; there will be a time when again it will not be there. God always is. You cannot use a past tense for God. It will be grammatically right but existentially wrong.

Are you fleeing from Love because of a single humiliation? -Rumi

Are you fleeing from Love because of a single humiliation?
What do you know of Love except the name? -||RUMI||

Love comes with a knife, not some shy question. -Rumi

  ♥ Fire...

Love comes with a knife,
not some shy question.
And not with fears for its reputation!

Love is a madman working his wild schemes,
tearing off his clothes,
running through the mountains,
drinking poison and
quietly choosing annihilation.

RUMI

My Heart will Never Seek Another Heart, Or Smell Another Flower.. -Rumi♥

My heart will never seek another heart,
Or smell another flower, knowing you.
Your love has made heart's field a desert waste;
No love other than yours grows in that place !

The Beloved You've Lost -Rumi♥

"Words of wisdom
came to me at last
"the beloved you've lost
the one you've been seeking outside
can only be found inside" ~Rumi♥

Be Happy with your Beloved -Rumi♥

be happy with your beloved
you can't find any better
the world will shimmer
because of the diamond when
you hold your heart is immersed
in this blissful love
you can easily endure
any bitter face around.

OSHO: Sufi Whirling [video]

Sufi Masters Are Very Choosy. - OSHO

Sufi masters are very choosy. It is very difficult to be accepted by a Sufi master, very very difficult. They create all sorts of obstacles around them.

First, they live in such an ordinary way that you cannot suspect that here is a master. They live in absolutely ordinary ways. For example, the master may be a blacksmith or a shoemaker or a carpetmaker or a butcher or a carpenter -- just the very ordinary world. You cannot suspect that the man who makes your
shoes and repairs your shoes is a master.

He won't allow any suspicion; that is the way he protects himself from those who are not ready but think themselves ready. From intruders he protects himself in this way.

You will never see a Sufi master going to the mosque or the temple -- to any public place -- to pray. No, he prays when everybody is fast asleep, in the midnight. Even his wife may not suspect that this man has attained. No, this is part of the Sufi method -- not to allow anybody to know...

-- Osho
Just Like That, ch. 1

Come Come - Jellaudin Rumi

A beautiful and powerful poem of Beloved Rumi... as always.. whispering strong messages of truth.. Feel it.. Understand it.. Dissolve in it...

:)

Rumi: Say I Am You (Sufi poem)

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.

Beloved Rumi on mind, love and soul...

The rational mind says "I`ll win him with my logic." Love says "I`ll win him with my silence." The Soul says "How can I ever hope to win him when I`m already his?"

- RUMI (k.s.)

Rumi-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 upfrom 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.

Sufi Mystic - Jelaluddin Rumi - 13th century
