1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:07,070
To all the Divine Love that ever lived
and to all those to be lived on earth.
2
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,650
'The entire universe is connected
through love. Learn how to pass...
3
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,570
on your love to others.
4
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,000
Let your heart grasp that
there is space for all.
5
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,710
And that the world is terrified of
the one, if devoid of love.'
6
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,890
In the 13th century, deep in
the Anatolian...
7
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:20,180
region there was a man crying
out for love and compassion.
8
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,630
There was a heart that would pave
many milestones for humanism with...
9
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,770
his poetry which has transcended
through the centuries.
10
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,040
There was a poet drifting through
and beyond time reaching out to...
11
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,820
all of humanity with his call.
12
00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:39,720
'Come in Peace'
The leader of Love for East and West...
13
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,530
Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi.
14
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,200
The Dance of Love.
15
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,700
The 13th century was marked
by blood, hatred and pain.
16
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,250
Anatolia, already worn down by the
Crusades, was under the threat...
17
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,560
of the Mongols. The Mongols had
conquered much of the East and were...
18
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,480
quickly spreading a wave of
death across all of Asia...
19
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,310
Anatolia was in great political
turmoil.
20
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,090
The ongoing struggle for power
symbolized a forewarning...
21
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,580
of the dangerous conflict
that lay ahead.
22
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,360
During this time, in 1207, a boy with
magnificent light was born deep...
23
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,800
in a small insignificant corner
of Asia in a city called Belh.
24
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,150
A boy named 'Muhammed Celaleddin'.
25
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,910
Celaleddin was the son of Bahaüddin
Veled, Sultan of the Sufi Scholars...
26
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,290
of the city of Belh.
27
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:05,920
This life of shining light has influenced
and captured the hearts of millions...
28
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,056
with his universal language of love
and humanistic philosophy which...
29
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,710
still lives on today.
30
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,920
During his life, he expressed love and
affection in tens of thousands of poetic...
31
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,680
verses, which have strongly
and profoundly influenced many.
32
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,460
Scholars across the vast East
and West hemispheres.
33
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,680
He identified a space of "nothingness"
and an unconditional acceptance...
34
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,240
of others while swimming in
the depths of Divine Love.
35
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,600
And with this profound passion,
he enabled 'the voice of love'...
36
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:34,610
to be heard for centuries.
37
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,576
Khorasan, also known as the Sun
Country of Anatolia, was growing...
38
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,960
dark with danger.
39
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,530
Young Celaleddin found himself
fleeing the city of Belh...
40
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,440
for a long journey with his
father and his family due...
41
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,680
due to the political turmoil
of the period.
42
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Their convoy traveled through a number
of cities such as Nisabur, Baghdad...
43
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,800
Mecca and Damascus until they
finally reached Anatolia.
44
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,560
It was a long and exhaustive
journey...
45
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,220
A journey during which the thirst
for knowledge was quenched.
46
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:23,960
During this important journey
of thousands of miles...
47
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,080
Celaleddin was passing through
historical holy lands while at...
48
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,810
the same time leaving footsteps
for history that was yet to come.
49
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,480
This journey, which started from
a small city and later launched...
50
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,850
a universal understanding
across the world...
51
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,600
came to an end Karaman was
the first stop in Anatolia.
52
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,430
The final destination reached
was Konya.
53
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:56,920
Anatolia, still suffering from political
unrest warmly welcomed...
54
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,280
and enjoyed the presence of
Bahaüddin Veled Sultan...
55
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,130
of Sufi Scholars, his son
Celaleddin and the family.
56
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,336
During the seven years he spent
in Karaman, Celaleddin was educated...
57
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,680
urther adding to his previously
established ideas. During this...
58
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,680
time he grew more and more mature
with confidence and vast awareness.
59
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,670
Celaleddin was soon considered
a candidate for Scholar...
60
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,440
of literature and spirituality.
He was attending regular sessions...
61
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,970
held with prominent and well-known
personalities of the time..
62
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,230
Konya... The City of Divine Love...
The city of immortals...
63
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:52,180
In the 13th century, Konya was the
capital of civilization and culture.
64
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,680
It was the focal center for commercial
routes and thus became...
65
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,680
became the intersection point for
different beliefs of the time.
66
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,120
Upon special invitation by Sultan
Alaeddin Keykubat...
67
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,880
the final stop for Celaleddin
and...
68
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,400
his family became Konya.
69
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,940
When they arrived, the Sultan...
70
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,230
stood with full noble
respect at the city gates...
71
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,090
to welcome the caravan.
72
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,650
In 1231, Celaleddin's father,
Bahaüddin Veled...
73
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:47,550
Sultan of Scholars passed
away unexpectedly.
74
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,800
Celaleddin found himself in a
severe state of emptiness...
75
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:54,220
after his father's sudden death.
76
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,480
A dear friend, Burhaneddin Tirmizi
from Kayseri, helped him...
77
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,200
to recover from these unbearable
feelings and helped...
78
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,570
helped to unlock a new
path of understanding.
79
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,240
During this period Celaleddin,
found much relief in the mental...
80
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,936
tutoring provided by his friend.
He also healed through reading...
81
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,180
and studying a book written by
his father called 'Maarif'.
82
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,620
'Seyyin Burhaneddin Tirmizi
arrives in Konya and...
83
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,100
gives advice to Rumi on what
he should be doing.
84
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,220
Rumi already had received much
guidance and tutoring from his father...
85
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,560
during the journey and from Seyyid
Burhaneddin Tirmizi afterwards...
86
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,090
And of course from other scholars
who migrated along with them..'
87
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,600
'He is at the stage of science
yet and busy with...
88
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,310
the books you see here as
he has not yet met Love.
89
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,120
What word is written in
these books...
90
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,750
hat words were said by
Islamist...
91
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,990
and the Greek philosophers.'
92
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,720
Celaleddin soon acquired a great deal
of knowledge relating to both the East...
93
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,096
and the West which allowed him
to bring different ideas together...
94
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,456
He bagan sharing his ideas with
others using the knowledge...
95
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,040
and courage he learned
from his father.
96
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,880
His trips to Aleppo and Damascus
significantly added to his experiences...
97
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,920
which, in turn, deepened his wisdom
even further.
98
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,680
Celaleddin had now become a well-known
figure among the people of Konya.
99
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,536
He quickly became a strong
candidate for the spiritual...
100
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:15,940
position his father left behind.
101
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,640
Celaleddin was once again
torn with pain...
102
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:24,470
by the death of his teacher,
Tirmizi.
103
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,470
He, again, was plagued with
a strong feeling of loss.
104
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,920
Fortunately, this time he had
many of his students by his...
105
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,320
side for support.
106
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,090
As years passed, Celaleddin's
reputation grew...
107
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,840
He was now high among Sufi
leaders of the East.
108
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,640
He adopted and internalized spiritual
branches of the time such as...
109
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:54,760
Cannon Law, Islamic Theology
and Hadiths.
110
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,680
He had hundreds of students
and thousands of followers..
111
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,080
He became a great teacher,
a scholar of mystical wisdom...
112
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,040
and a respected theologist.
113
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,800
And then... a notorious
moment emerged.
114
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,816
But of course, the science contained
within these books was far from being...
115
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,576
sufficient for him. The reason for this
was simply because he had a different...
116
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,736
type of yearning deep inside his heart.
Love... He was feeling where he was...
117
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,250
heading to, as a result of all the
letters and books he read.'
118
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,640
It was November 29th, 1244.
119
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,520
History may never witness such
a phenomenon...
120
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:32,940
in any location on Earth
again.
121
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,760
This extraordinary day captured
the souls deep from the hearts...
122
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,320
of all who surrounded. Only those
who could actually see 'Love'...
123
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,270
were to witness that day.
124
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,970
There was a blazing fire in
the middle of Konya.
125
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:54,490
Shems-i Tebrizi appeared out
of nowhere...
126
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,840
and took hold of Celaleddin
and surrounded him...
127
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,080
ith fire. The fire of Love,
like a piece...
128
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,210
of glowing ember made of Love.
129
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,920
A mysterious and unfamiliar person,
perhaps appearing from beyond time...
130
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,480
or distance, was carrying the
illumination required to...
131
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,330
transform Celaleddin into
Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi.
132
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,220
'When he met Shems he was like
a very traveller in a parch...
133
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,540
desser or you could...
134
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,940
say he was like a piece of
very dry wood.
135
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,410
And Shems was a spark and
that him one fire.'
136
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,520
'Until Shems, Mevlana was just
like a candle prepared...
137
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,440
all ready and in place, with
the proper texture...
138
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,680
to be burned Shems lite up a
match box and...
139
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,710
the entire surrounding was
illuminated.'
140
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,070
It was as if two oceans
merged together as one.
141
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,680
Shems and Rumi studied and came
to understand the topics...
142
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,060
of Divine Love over many
days and nights.
143
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:10,030
Shems quickly discovered the
great light in Rumi's heart and...
144
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,800
worked to further develop his soulful
thinking into a mature masterpiece.
145
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,920
At the same time, Rumi saw the
reflection of Divine Love...
146
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,750
within Shems and was
deeply affected.
147
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,710
The only subject that was spoken of or
that was shared was that of pure Love.
148
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,910
Neither of them ate or slept they
only focused on the faithfulness.
149
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,750
To the study of Love. It is believed
that Rumi was re-born with Shems.
150
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,500
A sweet breeze of the spiritual
season embraced all of Konya.
151
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,660
'Obviously when Rumi met
Shems-i Tebrizi.
152
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,960
He was transforming experience.
Shems-i Tebriz-i was very...
153
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
unconventional original
independent thinker.
154
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,840
Some people would have call them
a kalendar (dervish).'
155
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,130
'Shems was beyond formed I think.
156
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,840
And he took Rumi on that
place too.'
157
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,650
With Shems, Rumi started an
internal journey.
158
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,920
Achieving full separation from
himself, he reached...
159
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,660
the purest human form.
160
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,696
He reached emptiness the words that
began to seep from his lips were...
161
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,390
among the most splendid of
poems in all the world.
162
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,980
For the true friend, the lover, the
beloved, he wrote of nature and so on.
163
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,730
Sometimes he praised the birds...
164
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,970
and other times he praised
anything in the universe.
165
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,430
I am the groan of forest, and
sound of waves...
166
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,280
I am the pillar, smoke, shipmaster
and ship...
167
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,120
I am the rock demolished
by the ship...
168
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,360
I am the bird trainer, bird
and the trap...
169
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,460
I am the painting, mirror,
sound and echo...
170
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,570
I am the soul of man...
171
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,610
I am the sparkle within stones...
172
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,470
I am the vein of gold...
173
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,880
I am a rose and I am a nightingale
which filled with admiration of the rose...
174
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,520
am the doctor, patient, magic
and medicine...
175
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,760
Sweetness, bitterness... Honey
and oleander...
176
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,180
I am silence, thought, language
and voice...
177
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,080
I am the sound of, Reed Flute.
178
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,840
'Shems made him become
Rumi or Mavlana.
179
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,790
He was Mevlana before,
he was so master before.
180
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,890
But he was not a poet,
he was not a lover.
181
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,656
He was not the Rumi with
love. He was not the Rumi...
182
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,100
that created such a incredible
work of art that his poetries.
183
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:06,010
Due to Shem's extended presence in
his life, Rumi began wearing plain...
184
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,280
modest clothing rather than the
elaborate attire of scholars.
185
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,080
He learned to set himself and
his ego aside and out of focus.
186
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,616
He began to believe that the true
righteousness perhaps rested...
187
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,590
in reaching the Creator through
joyful peace and love.
188
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,920
Rumi started searching for
this joyful love everywhere.
189
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,160
He expressed this Love and
Joy in his poems...
190
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,740
and his rubai, a specific
Persian poetry format.
191
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,560
'He educated himself in science
and culture till he was 37.
192
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,336
Acquired a lot from the East and
the West. He continued studying and...
193
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:41,670
teaching others and in the end he
ran into Shems an unconventional spirit.
194
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,360
They together did tear apart the
pages of the philosophy of this...
195
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,720
life and went. Beyond life where
they realized that all there is left...
196
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840
behind was material and
objects only...
197
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,256
There at that point, came into
life a Love... Love for God...
198
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,120
and from the Love for God they opened
their arms wide to welcome everyone.'
199
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,380
'Their friendship is something some
combination of energies.'
200
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,390
Love is the instrument to
unfold divine secrets...
201
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,340
Love is the reign timeless,
dimensionless...
202
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,860
Lover is as distinct as the moon...
203
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,400
moon shining among
stars on the sky.
204
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,290
Beloved is the sparkle in
the heart of the Love.
205
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,240
'Mevlana is the essense of
spiritual life He spoke of love.
206
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,870
But he did'nt speak of physical
love.
207
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,070
He spoke of metaphysical love.'
208
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,460
The spiritual relationship between
Shems and Rumi was soon...
209
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,930
a source of jealousy for many.
210
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,360
The students and the public could not
grasp the sudden appearance of Shems...
211
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,200
and his unlimited ability to
capture their beloved teacher.
212
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,000
Shems quickly grew to be despised
because of a lack of understanding.
213
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,280
Upon these developments, Shems
reacted by means of remaining silent.
214
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,320
He stayed distant, yet balanced
Rumi, on the other hand...
215
00:17:16,360 --> 00:17:19,480
remained welcoming to
everyone with unconditional...
216
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,430
love and sincere modesty.
217
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,160
'Indeed this close tie of friendship
heart to heart is such a unique...
218
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,120
bond, that even today thateven
today it is beyond our understanding.
219
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,950
Who was the tutor
who the follower...
220
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,830
who taught who and what.'
221
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:42,480
'It is never definite who is whose mentor
whether Mevlana is Shems's or vice versa.
222
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,310
They both completed their
lacking parts.
223
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,470
And they both formed one
and as a whole.
224
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,720
Now the name Shems reminds Mevlana,
and the name Mevlana, Shems.
225
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,200
They are now both inseparable
and parts of a whole. '
226
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,720
'Maybe if we had met with him in the
street we would not recognize him.
227
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,120
You know.. You have to have
eyes with Rumi. So whatever...
228
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,360
I can say its true what Rumi says,
and of course Shems is everything.
229
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,680
Shems is the sun Shems is the ocean.
230
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,490
Shems is the line of God.'
231
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,510
One dreadful morning, a terrible fear
set in. Shems abruptly disappeared.
232
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:23,880
Which left Rumi devastated. He wrote
many poems to his friend expressing...
233
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,270
the unbearable pain and loss.
Shems, his dear friend, had...
234
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,920
sparked the light of Divine Love
inside him and was now missing.
235
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,520
Rumi suffered enormous sadness
and grief due to the loss...
236
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,760
of his irreplaceable
companion and teacher.
237
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,220
I heard that you were planning
to leave us, do not!
238
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,510
That you are inclined to another dear
soul, to another friend, do not!
239
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,460
Oh Moon, fate is devistated
and ruined for your sake..
240
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,860
You are destructing us; Wasting
us away, do not!
241
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,680
Oh you, whose presence is far
beyond existence and non existence...
242
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,120
You are leaving the realm of
existence, do not...
243
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,320
If you turned your face away, Moon
would turn dark due to grief...
244
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:25,580
You then incline to destroy the
house of Moon too, do not!
245
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,640
If you had poision in the entire sweetness
of yours, that would not affect us...
246
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,920
You turn the poision into sweet, the
already sweet into a poision, do not...
247
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:40,480
My eye, involved in the sin of Haram,
then it is the thief of beauty...
248
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,060
Oh you worthy of theft, you
are stealing, do not...
249
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,000
If you do not hold the power
to cope with Lovers...
250
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,030
Why then are you amazed
by Love, do not!
251
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,480
Then revolt my dear friend, this
is not a moment for words...
252
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,790
Why deal with the dizziness
of Love, do not!
253
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,710
With Shems's disappearance, his poems
and his heart were both in flames..
254
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,960
You are both the pain and the remedy,
Both the sick and the doctor...
255
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,760
You are the winter, and the summer too
Come on Shems, come along...
256
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,790
Come and bring this separation
to an end...
257
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,460
Hearts, words and love would
melt together into his poetry...
258
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,070
capturing any who were prepared
to accept a new amazing experience.
259
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,720
Even if your head is wet with
clay, do not wash it, but just come...
260
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,680
If you had a thorn in your foot,
do not take it off, just come...
261
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,600
Come and just rescue me from
the words of come and go...
262
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,800
Come and come to rescue to rescue
me from my sad sighs of moaning.
263
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,920
Rumi's sorrow not only deeply affected
him, but it also affected his followers.
264
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,040
Rumi's son, Sultan Veled set
off to find Shems...
265
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,730
out of deep respect
for his father.
266
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,600
Go and do come right back. Be
here in the next breath of yours...
267
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,060
Or in the next blink of your eye.
Please son, come back quick...
268
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,440
Go and bring him, and be
right back.
269
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,120
'The disappearance of Shems
was not really a lost of him.
270
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,150
But a shift from Rumi on
to another level.'
271
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,900
Then one morning, when the
sun was shining on Konya...
272
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,170
Shems suddenly reappeared.
273
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,440
The two dear friends were reunited,
ecstatic with happiness.
274
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,440
It was a time for great celebration.
Rumi was overjoyed and relieved.
275
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,200
Shems, who taught Rumi of Divine
Love and drew a different...
276
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,780
unexpected path for him
was now safely reunited.
277
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,350
My Sun, My Moon is here now,
that is my ear and my eye...
278
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,680
My silver body, my gold
mine is here...
279
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,480
The dizziness of my mind and the
light for my eye has come here...
280
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,150
But the dark clouds returned
with more misfortune.
281
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,630
The envious people who disliked...
282
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,010
Shems became enraged
once again.
283
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,510
The mistrust and misunderstanding
felt toward Shems began to escalate.
284
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,550
So, there came another dreadful day when
Shems disappeared for a second time.
285
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,340
This time, though, no one knew
where he went or how to find him.
286
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:07,640
The winds of separation once again...
287
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,680
turned to Rumi like a giant
tornado.
288
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,870
It was such fierce pain that
Rumi almost lost his mind...
289
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,920
He buried his greif deep in his
poetry, full of pain and nostalgia.
290
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:25,270
His poetry was his only relief, it was
the only way he could express himself.
291
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:31,360
Oh you, the dearest to my soul, enter
not to the rose garden, not without me...
292
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,210
Oh sky, you do not revolve without
me. Moon, shine not without me...
293
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,740
Eye, see not without me,
Soul, leave not without me...
294
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,690
Oh earth, be not without me,
Time, pass not without me.
295
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,340
'Shems would find himself
within himself.
296
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,060
He was his own mirror.
297
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,560
He started whirling around himself
after that point...
298
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,176
Only after that he started writing.
From this point forward for Rumi's life.'
299
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,310
There was only poetry and Sema.
300
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,480
You are gone, this separation
brings tears to my eyes...
301
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,110
My anxiety increasing each moment
also increases my tears...
302
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:19,910
You are never gone on your
own, alone...
303
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,970
My eyes did leave with you...
304
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,950
And, there I am without my eyes...
305
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,690
how could I shed my tears.
306
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,960
Sema... is beyond reason, it is
the symbol of a spiritual journey.
307
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,490
It is the flame of Divine Love...
308
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,810
A turn back, a turn forward
All for a return to Love...
309
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,410
Today we have Sema, there is sema
sema.
310
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,410
There is farewell reason... Farewell
to intellect. Farewell it is...
311
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,750
Everything in the universe
is revolving.
312
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,440
Every electron and proton forming the
essence of everyone and everything...
313
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:18,720
ranging from a small piece of dust to the
furthest galaxy-everything is in motion.
314
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,040
This physical and chemical movement in
all the creatures presents an honesty...
315
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,000
as the blood in the body revolves
man made from earth and...
316
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,000
yet revolving back to into earth
a world revolving around itself.
317
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,260
It is silent meditation and loud
dance mixed together as one.
318
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,730
Sema, then, is the person turning back
to truth and revolving back to Love.
319
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:51,040
'Whirling dervishes is provide
a beautiful example of Rumi's...
320
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,800
teachings. When the whirling
dervishes is whirl, they have...
321
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,470
a hand open towards heaven another
hand open towards the earth.'
322
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,440
'So the whirling have many different
meanings such a spinning around your heart.
323
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,790
Spinning around left side
which where the heart
324
00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:09,100
is. And the heart is God
is manifest in Sufizm.
325
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,780
Sema starts where "self" is all consumed,
and where identity and ego come to an end.
326
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,280
Sema, brings a renewed soul...
327
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,790
out of pure and untainted Love.
328
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,520
Semazen the whirling dervish,
removes his cloak only...
329
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,510
to begin a spiritual journey,
and awakens to eternity.
330
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,800
The Sikka, the tall hat worn by the whirling
dervish, represents the tombstone...
331
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,100
of the "self". The
tannura, the white dress
332
00:26:38,138 --> 00:26:40,958
worn during Sema, is
the shroud of the ego.
333
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,670
During the Divine Whirling,
the arms are open wide...
334
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,080
the right hand is reaching up to
the skies in the form of a prayer...
335
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:51,096
and the left hand is facing down toward
the Earth... This posture is sharing Love...
336
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:56,020
and compassion received from God
above with the people of the Earth.
337
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,440
The action revolves around the
heart from right to left...
338
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,660
embracing all human beings...
339
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,670
all those created with pure
affection and love.
340
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,610
I am whirling at the Sema of Love...
341
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,610
I hear you... I breath you...
342
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,720
Enlight me with your heart's light...
343
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,010
Hear me... Just as the cry of
Ney, the Reed Flute...
344
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,880
'The whirling is a mediation emotion
It's worship...
345
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,210
It's a way of expressing our love
and respect for the divine.'
346
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,280
'Importantly, in the dance as are
as spinning around the only hearts.
347
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,640
The Derwish is also spinning around the
Þeyh like the planet around the sun...
348
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,010
And of course this represent
Rumi's belief...
349
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,640
and his masters Shems-i
Tebrizi.'
350
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,650
In Rumi's philosophy...
351
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,600
Sema is a way of advancing toward
a higher level of knowledge...
352
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,380
to a higher degree of freedom
and to a deeper Love.
353
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,240
The harmony of Semazens whirling in
all white, is an attempt to express...
354
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,970
genuine and unconditional Love.
Removing boundaries and division.
355
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,120
'If we wear the glasses of his
period, this is way...
356
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,840
out of the format that we
could perceive today.
357
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:24,910
Rumi would just grow estatic with any
sound and would start performing...
358
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,590
Sema, the Whirling Dervish Ceremony
even out there in the streets.'
359
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,570
'Whirling is something that Rumi
invented and it is a new.
360
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,720
And innovative way of worship
with God.
361
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,720
Thru this whirling and by remembering
God you try the find him...
362
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:49,130
and become united and unconscious of
yourself unconscious of your creator.'
363
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,800
'Dervishes begin, each with their
head bowed and their arms...
364
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:09,680
crossed at their chest walking slowly
and gently dragging their feet.
365
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,530
They present their greetings
and slowly start whirling.
366
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,170
Using their left foot as
the axis..
367
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,776
Their eyes are closed. As they continued
revolving around their own heart.
368
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,280
They start to open their arms synchronized
only with a divine rhythm which...
369
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,936
may or may not be heard. They
are revolving around themselves...
370
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,800
Just like angels... It is fascinating.
The right hand is high facing...
371
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,120
upward to the sky and the left hand is
lowered. Facing the ground. They are...
372
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:45,190
transmitting what is received above
from the sky to the ground below.'
373
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,320
'The purpose here is not to
simply perform Sema.
374
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,720
The purpose here is to transcend
one's self...
375
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,960
and to give up one's
mortal body...
376
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,060
and to discover the immortal
part within.
377
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,890
To unfold and dicover that
Divine, the essence.'
378
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:12,370
After Shems's final departure, Rumi continued
writing poems filled with heartache.
379
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,640
It was impossible to provide
relief for his anguish.
380
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,760
It was impossible to provide relief for
his anguish but he also lost himself.
381
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,490
This separation was like a volcano
of hurt exploding with despair...
382
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,130
The light that brightened his
darkness was now gone.
383
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,670
The earth and sky were
searching for Shems.
384
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,310
Shems... Turn your direction this way.
385
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,720
Sema, without you in it, is lacking,
does not count and is not halal.
386
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,570
It is not possible to write poems
where you are absent.
387
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,390
Shems, the source of pride
for the world, come now...
388
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,560
Come and make our nights
into a day.
389
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,320
As time passed...
390
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:08,080
the hopelessness that Rumi found
himself in was not diminishing at all.
391
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:13,160
Rumi continued to release strong lyrics of
agony and yearning. Although the loss...
392
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:18,780
was painful, it was providing more
maturity and depth to his spiritual growth.
393
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,560
Rumi finally accepted the reality
that Shems was not going to return.
394
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,630
Selahaddin Zerkubi an old friend,
tried to fill...
395
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,000
the absence of Shems and
provided comfort to Rumi.
396
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,920
He began to slowly and gently heal.
Powerful friendship...
397
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,070
with Selahaddin the jeweler.
398
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,290
My heart is like an oyster...
The pearl is like the form of a pearl.
399
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,500
I can no longer fill in my shell...
400
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,250
As he fills in my heart, in full.
401
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,090
It was during this period that the first
Sema ceremonies were performed.
402
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,880
Hearts blazed with fire in joy and Love.
403
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,880
Rumi's confidant, Chelebi
Husameddin...
404
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,480
had witnessed everything in his life.
405
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,740
Chelebi Husameddin, was his
closest and most trusted student.
406
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,320
Being a such strong follower
he dedicated his life to Rumi.
407
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,480
He witnessed all the changes his teacher
had experienced over the years.
408
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,080
With his wholesome character
and his love for his teacher...
409
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,250
he had become almost as
respected as Rumi.
410
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,880
Husameddin decided it was necessary
to document the many lines of beautiful...
411
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,440
poetry pouring from his teacher's heart to
ensure these words and ideas survived time.
412
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:58,510
Rumi's first consolidation was called
Masnawi. This great treasure and...
413
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,336
work of art by Rumi was written during
this period. The works collected in...
414
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,510
Masnawi have survived centuries
of students and scholars.
415
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,660
Rumi, wrote the first 18 verses himself...
416
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,080
Then Chelebi Husameddin transcribed
those that followed. From this point...
417
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,540
forward, the magnificent poems
were pieced together in books.
418
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,690
To help all the world understand
Divine Love.
419
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,440
Hear this Reed Flute, it is complaining
at any minute...
420
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,200
Complaining about the story of
separation, this Reed Flute...
421
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,640
It says 'My crying sound is ever since
I was cut from the reedbed'...
422
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,950
Will sure cry with me,
and in fact cry blood...
423
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,400
Love turns the bitter into sweet,
turns copper into gold...
424
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,290
Through Love, the muddy waters
will turn into crystal clear...
425
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,840
The illnesses will find their remedy and
cure... When you are with everyone...
426
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,496
But without me... Then you are with
none, When you are with nobody.
427
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,450
But with me only...
You are with everyone.
428
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,970
On December 17th of the year 1273,
as the sun was setting.
429
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:02,960
Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi, finally set off
for his eternal journey. Burning with...
430
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:08,320
the painful fire of separation throughout
his life his death brought deep sadness.
431
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,760
And mourning across different
parts of the world.
432
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,680
Mevlana Celaleddin I-Rumi had
already defined his death...
433
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:23,330
as 'Þeb-i Arus', which means
the 'Wedding Night'.
434
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,530
There should be no mourning, but
rather, music and celebration...
435
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:39,120
That night should be filled joy and
exhilaration for the day of his death...
436
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:45,090
represented the moment that he would
finally reunite with the Divine Love..
437
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,090
Death meant he would now exist in
an eternal path...
438
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,200
of peace and harmony, and it
presented a possibility.
439
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,980
Possibility that his words and
ideas could live on in others.
440
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,160
'When he died people who attended
his funeral...
441
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,380
from all different religious.
442
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,700
Not only Muslims, took part but also
Christians, Jews also...
443
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:18,400
So this is the actually universality of
the soul and the message of Rumi...
444
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,660
that makes him so universaland
attracting even nowadays...
445
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,660
and you know centuries to come.'
446
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,740
Following Rumi's death...
447
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,960
first his confidant Chelebi
Husameddin, and then his son...
448
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,590
Sultan Veled, became the leaders...
449
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:41,030
of a Love Union to influence millions.
450
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,080
Chelebi Husameddin played
a significant role in bringing...
451
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,110
Masnawi into written form
which could...
452
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,240
then be reproduced.
453
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,550
He took the profound passion
started by Rumi...
454
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,530
and cultivated it further.
455
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:01,120
The birth of Mevlevi teachings
occurred in the decades following.
456
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,600
This path, this philosophy is
focused on bringing light...
457
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,970
and peace to people of
different backgrounds.
458
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:15,000
'The greatest work of art he left for
us is not the books he wrote...
459
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:21,320
but the philosophy, the path he
paved. That is Mevlevi teaching...
460
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,450
The true owner of all the Mevlevi
art and science...
461
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,960
is Mevlana Rumi.'
462
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,980
'After Rumi's death...
463
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,570
Husameddin Chelebi presents
the fur, to Sultan Veled...
464
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,310
the son. Sultan Veled, the
Sultan of the Secret...
465
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,000
says No. He says 'I could be his
son to inherit the meaning;...
466
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,440
you are his Dear Friend,
the pupil of the eye.
467
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,790
This meaning shall grow
along with you.'
468
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,810
My dear friend, I am you
and you are me...
469
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,650
Come closer, closer and
even closer...
470
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,520
If you are me, and I am you...
471
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,750
What is this wording on you or me?
472
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,970
'He expresses that state of being unified,
so eloquently and so beautifully...
473
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,610
Even one line is sufficient
Mesneviyi ma dukkan-i vahdetest...
474
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,170
My Masnawi book is a store
for a state of unification.'
475
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:38,440
'His poetry is again very accessible
for all cultures and for all humanity.
476
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,200
Uses examples everbody
can understand.'
477
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,520
'If Rumi had been only a
spiritual master...
478
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,800
we would not remember
him as we do today.
479
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,920
We remember him because he was
not only a great spiritual master...
480
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,950
but that he put his ideas
in to poetry.'
481
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,160
Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi's ideas of Love.
Love were expressed in his Masnawi...
482
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,800
of 26,000 verses and in his lyrical
poems of 40,000 verses. Each work...
483
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,790
line by line, strived to form
the peak of world peace.
484
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,270
Laying the foundation for humanism
in the 13th century...
485

tolerance and modesty...
486

Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi, emphasized
a reverence for all of humanity...
487
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,200
by means of expressing blind Love
for the Divine in his poetry.
488
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:34,100
Emphasizing that all of creation...
489
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:39,720
can be the subject of love and peace,
Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi always...
490
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,190
praised and upheld Divine Love.
491
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:56,660
'The Mesnevi itself, its not just a book
that you read by line, by line, by line.
492
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,470
But it's a book that transformes you.'

'About the importance of
Rumi for humanity.

for the Christian world...

religious from to me.'
500
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:34,150
Some say that Divine Love gained
its true value and meaning with...
501
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:39,830
the expressions by Rumi. Divine Love
was hidden in a box in his heart.
502
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,110
Shems functioned as the key
to that box.
503
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,490
The poetry he wrote offered
witness to the presence and...
504
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,470
significance of Divine Love.
505
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,000
'Rumi is the voice of love.
506
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,100
And it's a love that is greater
than any knowledge.

00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,540
And no one can explain
this love.'
508
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,210
Neither that I am myself only,
neither you are yourself...
509
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:26,370
Neither you are me only It is both that I
am myself, you are yourself and you are me.
510

Rumi feel in love with poetry
art and inner stillness...
511
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,360
He expressed his emotions
through poetry and art.
512
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,200
He had a unique ability that allowed his
mind to dig down down into the deep...
513
00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:50,680
corners of his heart and retrieve mystical
words that may speak to all of humanity.
514
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:55,010
His poems are the ashes of the
fire that burned inside of him.
515
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:06,280
Rumi's 13th century reflections can be
seen as a strong influence throughout...

shaped the Eastern and Western civilizations.

Goethe was inspired by the
German translations of Rumi's...
518
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,650
Rumi's poetry in the East-West
Collection.
519
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,530
Rembrandt painted an imaginary
portrait of Rumi.
520
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:29,730
And Pope John the 23rd announced
a message full of love...
521
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,340
and respect on Rumi's behalf.
522

Rumi to the West with his English...

the greatest sufi poet of all times.

00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,480
all around the world beyond
belongings to Christian world...
648
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,580
or to Budist world, or to
Islamic world.'
649
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,120
'It is possible by loving everyone...
650
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,630
be they Christians or the Jews
or the Hindus...
651
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,840
or the people who worship
the fire, and the Moslems.'
652
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:52,180
Amid the darkness history has seen,
his focus was to offer hope.
653
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,220
His ideas live on as eternal
stars that will never fade away.
654
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,450
The identity he created was one
free of time, place and material.
655
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,560
He was a man who could embrace
the entire universe in his heart.
656
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:15,630
He was the strong iron but one that
melted under the fire of Divine Love.
657
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:21,130
He was like sugar that melted away
and disappeared into the water...
658
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:26,460
He learned modesty from the Earth,
generosity from the Rivers...
659
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,280
tolerance and love for people
from the Sun.
660
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:37,370
And The Dance of Love, from
the infinite light in his heart...
661
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,280
I searched for God among the
Christians and on the Cross...
662
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,430
and therein I found Him not.
663
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,130
I entered the mountain
cave of Hira...
664
00:54:55,240 --> 00:54:59,050
and then went as far as Qandhar
but God I found not.
665
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,020
Then I directed my search
to the Kaaba...
666
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,970
the resort of old and young;
God was not there even.
667
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,330
Finally, I looked into my
own heart...
668
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,130
and there I saw Him.
669
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,040
He was nowhere else.
