We Don’t Need to Seek Love. We Just Have to Stop Resisting It | The Wisdom of Rumi

The 13th-century Sufi mystic Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī also known as Mevlana, or simply as Rumi, observed that all phenomena of nature are bound together by love. Love is what keeps planets orbiting their stars, stars encircling the centers of their galaxies, and electrons revolving around the nucleus of an atom.
Love is the force that keeps us together and moving and immerses an otherwise cold world of matter with warmth. Within the Islamic mystic branch that is known as Sufism, love is seen as a divine essence, and only through the path of love, we can see the truth and become one with the whole, like a drop that becomes one with the ocean.
But love is not something to be found outside of us in the material world. The divine essence, something that goes beyond the ego and the senses, lies already inside us at the core of our being. It’s a force that the intellect cannot comprehend and, therefore, our minds cannot search nor perceive it. But we can feel it. And it can only be revealed if we find freedom from what tethers us to the world of matter, and remove the barriers that separate us from a boundless ocean of love. We don't need to seek love. We just have to stop resisting it (the poetry of Rumi).

I really want non-Persians to know they're only getting a small portion of the joy when reading Rumi's poems. It's because in Persian those verses actually rhyme with each other and have a dancing rhythm. I mean, when you're reading Rumi's poems in Persian, you're enjoying the meaning, listening to a natural music, and dancing at the same time! It's extremely joyous. No wonder a dancing mystical sect came out of it. I totally recommend you to learn some Persian to boost the joy.

Even though I don't understand it, the language sounds beautiful. This was made by an English-Iranian artist I like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZWscoyGbMt4q9E

If you want to find love you must first love yourself. Be okay with who you are and just being with yourself. You'll attract love a lot more naturally that way, neediness is one the biggest things that pushes love away.

[@kaberigomes2117]

Neediness is not the problem. Neither is loving ourselves. People change, situation change. You can be non needy at one point, and then become needy at another point in the relationship. You might love yourself at the moment, while you might feel insecure or jealousy at another point in time. You need to accept the situation in acquiesce. People can stop loving you, betray you, everything is a possibility in this life. Love is just an emotion in the moment, affection might be linger longer, but none is permanent.

[@dfabe5346]

@Kaberi Gomes the people who have raised me have passed on...the only woman I had loved, left me almost ten years ago. But are these loves not permanent ? I may never see these people again, that had loved me so much, but that love still lives on in my heart. Those memories and feelings will be with me until I too pass on. So we should not look at love as an impermanent thing, or something that will soon leave and hurt us. As another commenter had quoted above, "I see now that goodbyes are only for those that love with their eyes, because for those who love with heart and soul, there is not such a thing as seperation." -Rumi

[@kaberigomes2117]

@@dfabe5346 You are completely missing the point, your evidence that '' Love should be EXPECTED from people who raise us or how long we we carry love for them is infinite '' and your evidence is yourself, a sample size of one out of 1000 crore people in this earth. What about those children whose mother couldn't love them? or children who couldn't love their parents? The lesson is 'Love' should never be expected from people and the fact that it can always change, get lost, left behind. No one is challenging you personally that you cannot love your partner or parents with your whole heart or remember them when they are gone.

There will be many times in your life, when you're so deep in your problem, you will totally forget your foster mother, and be sunk in worldly sadness. Would that mean your love has ended? NO.

[@lamaelcharif1523]

Thank you for addressing Rumi. I understood the philosophy of loving the Divine like this. There is no point in getting attached to anything or anyone in this material world because everything is mortal. Departure and seperation will always come, in one way or the other. The best thing is to attach yourself to the Divine, the one that never dies, the one that never forsakes us. There is still pain in separation. But it doesn't lead people of God into desperation because they know, all souls meet eventually in another space and time.

Thank you for your explanation. I read that one of the differences between 'non-Sufi' Muslims and Sufis is that non-Sufi Muslims use this life to prepare for union with God in the Afterlife, but Sufis try to unite with God in this life. I liked that comparison.

[@satnamo]

This life on earth is das beste preparation for heaven.

[@lamaelcharif1523]

It is beautiful how you study all schools of thought thoroughly. To my understanding Sufi muslims added a philosophical explanation to religion. Non-sufi muslims don't put much thought into hidden meanings behind worship. They stick to the scripture more literally or practically. Becoming in union with God means putting the Divine before and above everything. It is very much like the idea of becoming ego-less in Buddhism. Letting go of all attachments except that with God

[@deepdiver849]

@ Unfortunately, Islam in its true essense has been so misunderstood, that we have to use terms such as Sufi non Sufi muslims. The holder of the true gnosis of Islam was held by Prophet Mohammad and his cousin Ali, Which Rumi speaks of in very high and mystical reverence in his poetries, specially Ali Ibn Abi Talib. " Your sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it and your remedy is within you, but you do not sense it. You presume you are a small entity, but within you is enfolded the entire Universe. You are indeed the evident book, by whose alphabet’s the hidden becomes manifest. Therefore you have no need to look beyond yourself. What you seek is within you, if only you reflect." - Ali Ibn Abi Talib The whole Islamic prayer is given as a gift so you can experience the Ascension Journey the Prophet did, if done properly. That is why you have to pray 5 times a day, so maybe you will experience one thing in an instant, or maybe the whole thing. But the highest from of connection with God , is the Dhikr (Remembrance ) of the Name Allah repeatedly at all times in your mind, even while talking, which is teaching you deep mindfulness at all time. The Dhikr too is profound in Rumis poetry, as the way to connect with God and to keep remembering his name in your mind, so maybe you will experience a break thru.

"Love is always unconditional". Wonderful to have Rumi in this channel.

But how is it unconditional. I don't see this in practical life. Ideally yes this is what we want but we do not see. Instead, love is happening between 2 equals. For example take relationship between man and woman. Unconditional love is possible only when our logic does not interfere with emotions and that is a very very rare scenario.

[@cx777o]

@@manoj9596 he is referring to love towards existance and being itself, its a state you reach when you allow yourself to transcend the material way of life and by meditation. And yes logic is something which intervenes, also knowledge about certain things intervenes with the experience of unconditional love. But the point is, to commit yourself to awareness even when you feel that logic tries to hinder you in realizing this. Sometimes being free from concepts of the mind is that what we seek

[@roquevera9831]

​@@manoj9596 It is conditional as long as you take it personally. The conditions are fixed by the persona. This is drama, and love does not have anything to do with it. Drama is a fictional story, given by our preferences, expectation and interpretations.This is not real. The complete acceptance (non resistence) of things as they are is love. The complete acceptance of who we are is love. This can't be conditional. Love is who we are.

@@roquevera9831 yeah the original quality of soul is love and peace. One can feel that for some split seconds at times where our mind's thoughts and experiential emotions are not interfering with it. As we grow it gets corrupted and manipulated by our own thoughts and experiences. Most of the times it is pain and as someone said ...."human behaviour is largely shaped around avoidance of pain." My actual agenda of writing this: In my personal experience, even if i have appropriate wisdom , it is still difficult to move beyond personal experiences. Therefore having wisdom is not enough for having best experiences and choices. For our emotional mind, this all knowledge and wisdom just doesn't seem to matter if soul is in hurt and pain. So we need to know how to heal first. But i am very positive...may be someday, most of us shall experience the same just like these sages did.

The only problem is that you are beliving that you are a person defined by its experiences. Then you enter a neverending drama: you are never enough, you are never satisfied. But you don't need anything, you already have it. Don't you see? Are you in there? There is no "someday", there is only now. Anything else than now is just in the mind.

I think it is hard to answer this question: "Who am really I?" If we don't answer this question, how can we know we became the true self? Ok, I will explain this phrase with simple way and I won't make philosophy: Be yourself! If we say our inner world is "X" and our appearance to others is "Y", we should make X=Y. That's it. But, other questions are hard to answer and they are changing time to time: "Do I have to be mercy to all?", "Do I have to be fair to all even the evils?", "What if I am a bad person and I appear as I am to others, I won't be generous or mercy?"

They are basically an accumulation of the quran and hadiths of the prophet into mostly stories as allegories, in which he articulates the meaning behind what was said.

Neden onca insanın içinde "kurdistan tealiye" üye olmuş olan ve dergileri için yazı yazmış olan o dönemin pkklisina değer veriyorsunuz??? Yıldız sarayının hekiminin muayenesi sonucu DELI raporu almış olan birisini filozof olarak adlandırmanın açıklaması nedir??? Ki o dönem en iyi ve başarılı doktorların sarayda olduğunu ve padişaha hizmet ettiğini unutmamak gerek.

Because the idol is your face, I have become an idolater. Because the wine is from your cup, I’ve become a drunkard. In the existence of your love, I have become non-existent. This non-existence, linked to you, is better than all existence. -Rumi This is my favourite poem of his.

I am your lover, come to my side, I will open the gate to your love. Come settle with me, let us be neighbors to the stars. You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love. Even so, you have always been connected to me. Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest. I am life itself. You have been a prisoner of a little pond, I am the ocean and its turbulent flood. Come merge with me, leave this world of ignorance. Be with me, I will open the gate to your love. Rumi

Thank you for this wonderful video! As a student currently writing a thesis on the Neoplatonic traits in the concept of Love in the work of medieval mystic Marguerite Porete, it is really amazing to see how much of these ideas align with Rumi's. Marguerite wrote about mystical union with the divine through Love and was condemned to the stake as a heretic for it. Imagine that...

That sounds pretty interesting!

[@Diana-gt1rv]

I’m a big fan of Rumi’s philosophy and totally agree that love is the essence of our being. When you love somebody unconditionally, this love does not need gasoline to keep the flame of love burning. Unconditional love is, as Rumi says so beautifully, a path to God.

@@ayoubzahiri1918 now that’s inaccurate. Sufism is based on the Islamic religion. Its a branch of Islam and Rumi is well aware of it. You cant just take a quote from Rumi and came up with that conclusion. Rumi has lived his whole life a Muslim with his spiritual partner Shams of Tabriz. Both of them are Muslims and practice Islam. Mysticism is not to be understood by thinking. It is a way of life that they have lived and not to be concluded by your opinion of the matter. You have to live the way the saints lived.

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. Rumi ❤️

Love is inside of us all and in everything on this mystic Universe.

[@NemeanLion-]

Love is at the core of us and we are already connected to it, therefore to “seek it” only implies separation and takes you further away from it. When you realize you are already “there” is when you are immersed in it and it washes over you. You just have to allow it as Rumi says. Love is unconditional. It is not some illusive, mystical force or something worthy of only gurus.

[@whoami3021]

To make it simple: It's a belief that there is someone up there who loves us unconditionally. If we love that Allah back, we will automatically have a great attitude towards ourselves and our lives. We will think that everything is happening for good. Even if a situation is bad in others eyes, as a lover we'll see the goods that Allah kept for us hidden in the bad situation (e.g., a situation made me know about myself more and i know where i react and where to work on myself). If a person is able to love Allah back, he is in the ocean of the greatest success, peace, love, happiness, prosperity, growth, health, wealth and so on.

In generosity and helpfulness, be like a stream. In compassion and mercy, be like the Sun. In covering up others' faults, be like the night. In rage and anger, be like the dead. In modesty and humility, be like the earth. In tolerance, be like the sea. Either appear the way you are or be the way you appear to be. Mevlana C. Rumi Rumi pertains to where Mevlana is from. (Much like van Gogh,van Schaik) .His proper name is Mevlana Celaleddin (Rumi).In Turkey we simply refer to him as Mevlana.

The named is the mother of ten thousand things. Ever desireless, one can see the mystery. Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations. These two spring from the same source but differ in name; this appears as darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gate to all mystery.” -Laozi, Tao Te Ching

Very well made video! just a small note. The whirling which the dervish do , was not instructed by Rumi. The whirling came about when he had a mystical experience while visiting the copper bazaar, when all of a sudden the sound of the copper being struck by hammer was experienced as God's praise from all around him, Hence he started whirling automatically in awe ! But what the dervish do is the opposite ! :D They try to whirl to get the experience, where as Rumi experienced something profound that made him whirl !

Amazing video. Rumi is one of my favorite people, he was really open to love. One of the famous stories about him is his love for Shamse Tabrizi, in todays word he was his soulmate. Shams was a Dervish 30 years his senior, Rumi had some statues and prestige in the society and there for it was a bit of a challenge for them to easily enjoy each others company. Rumi even dedicated a book to him in his name, the book of " Divane Shams". In the end Shams was disappeared, some believe he was murdered by the close people around Rumi since they were so jealous of Rumi's love and attention for him, Rumi mourned this loss for years. The way love is described in Divane Shams and his other works is really precise, his poems in Persian are like a dance but with words, truly magical.

Thanks for this beautiful compilation. I needed to remember this love today! I grew up with Mevlana’s poems, thats how we call him in Turkey. And yes I agree with some friends below, even thou I dont know Persian, in old Turkish language translations of Rumi's works sound crazy aesthetic! Cannot reading him in original language is unfortunately the same pain I feel how I can never read Dostoyevski in Russian. In Konya, where he died, they use to organize huge get togethers each year in December, coinciding his departure from World ☺; Called “Vuslat Anniversary” Vuslat meaning the “ecstatic joy of meeting with beloved”. For him, meeting with Allah. Still, I wanna put some words on the experiences Rumi emphasises "love is everywhere".. It is actually. But we have way too crowded mind to see/feel/touch/hear/taste it. Mind rattles and creates false belief filters. Then we are not able to experience the world as it is. Unfortunately as a result, we just experience our own crooked version of reality, which forces us to search love outside. We need to clean our subconscious mind somehow. Everyone should clean their lenses :) Whatever works for his/her. For me TM and NLP helped a lot. + staying alone in the nature and hear trees and bees and grasses speak for themselves.. Benefits of Pandemia :)) Love & greetings to you all!

Exactly this, when I thought I found love and then in reality didn't my world crumbled and then "something"happened.
