Navigation Info
A Persian Sufi poet of the thirteenth century AD, also known as Jelaluddin Balkhi, and considered by many the greatest Oriental mystic. Rumi teached the Sufi doctrine that the chief end of man is so to emancipate himself from human thoughts and wishes, human needs and the outward impressions of the senses, that he may become a mere mirror for the Deity. So refined an essence does his mind become that it is as nearly as possible nothing; yet while in this state it can, by a union with the Divine Essence, mysteriously became the All. In his teachings he declared that names and words must not be taken for the things they represent: "Names thou mayst know ; go, seek the truth they name
Search not the brook, but heaven, for the moon." Rumi wrote many exquisit lyrics. His greatest work was '

ABOUT Rumi For anyone who doesn't know him, Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi has always been an incredible love singer, perhaps "the greatest mystic poet of human history". Born in Bhalk, Persia, in 1207 from an aristocratic family, Rumi died in 1273. People say that he played about 70.000 verses. Many of them, are included in his masterpiece "Masnavi-yi Manari" (Spiritual Couplets). They were meant to reveal the secrets of the Way to Unity to the pilgrims and the Mysteries of the Way to the Eternal Truth. ... Rumi biography: more info
ABOUT Rumi Poetry Rumi himself used to consider poetry as a 'secondary product'. As to say, "a mere reflex of that huge interior reality we call love". "Love is an emotion", he always used to repeat, "totally silent and inexpressible with words". ...

Excerpts from Mevlana Celaleddin rumi's masterpiece Mathnawi in Turkish and English, originally written in Persian.
http://sircasaray.turkiye.org/mevlana/mesnevi.html
I. - II. C i l t
Sunus "Mevlana, "Mesnevi" sine "Birlik Dükkani" demekte, "Mesnevi" yi "Mesnevi'miz, Birlik dükkanidir;Birden baska ne belirirse puttur." beytiyle övmekte. Birlik Dükkani.. Her varlik o dükkanda yogrulup yapilmakta, orda sergilenmekte, satilmakta; orda yipranip gene orda potaya girmekte, yenilenmekte. Sebepler sonuçlari meydana getirmekte; sonuçlar, gene sebepler haline gelip baska sonuçlar belirmekte. Bu dükkanin bir ucu, dükkani yapanin kudret elinde; öbür ucu, sonsuzluga dek gitmekte ve gene o kudret eliyele sonu ön olmakta; her an yaratilmakta. Bu dükkanin alicisi, saticisinin kendisi."

Dinle, bu ney nasil sikayet ediyor, ayriliklari nasil anlatiyor. Diyor ki:

Sevgilimin isigi önde, artta olmadikça nasil önü-ardi akil edeyim ben? Ask bu sözün söylenmesini ister; ayna gammaz olmaz da ne olur? Aynan, biliyor musun, neden gammaz degil? Yüzünden toz, pas silinmemis, arinmamis da ondan.

http://www.pbs.org/empires/islam/profilesrumi.html
Jalal al-Din Rumi (c. 1207-73) is a famous Muslim mystic and poet. Fleeing the Mongol invaders, his family emigrated from Balkh (in modern Afghanistan) to Konya (a city now in central Turkey). Rumi began his career as a preacher and theologian, but after meeting a dervish, he became a mystic, or Sufi . His followers formed the Mevlevi order of dervishes, sometimes known in the West as the "whirling dervishes," after their dance that emulates the movement of planets on their journey of spiritual fulfillment. Rumi wrote the largest corpus of lyric poetry in the Persian language, amounting to 40,000 couplets, as well as a 25,000 couplet epic, the Mathnavi. Rumi's poetry has universal appeal; he is today the best selling poet in the USA.

107. Eight Odes By Persian Poet And Sufi Mystic Jelalaldin Rumi.
Jelalaldin rumi Eight Odes. Like a pure spirit lying down, pulling its body over it, like a bride her husband for a cover to keep her warm. rumi, Jelalaldin
http://www.tearsofllorona.com/rumi.html
Jelalaldin Rumi: Eight Odes
At the age of 37, a conventional Turkish mullah named Jelalaldin Rumi (1207-1273 C. E.) met a wandering dervish named Shams al-Din of Tabrizand promptly fell into a state of God-intoxication from which he never emerged. From him flowed an unstoppable stream of poetry, instruction, and dancing; his known output of odes (Qasida), eight of which appear below, comes to 3,229. Most of his verses he addressed to God; the passionate longing resounding throughout them makes them read like love letters.
1823 I don't get tired of You. Don't grow weary of being compassionate toward me! All this thirst-equipment must surely be tired Breathe into me. Close the language-door, and open the love-window. The moon won't use the door, only the window. 314 Those who don't feel this Love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep. This Love is beyond the study of theology, that old trickery and hypocrisy. If you want to improve your mind that way, sleep on. I've given up on my brain. I've torn the cloth to shreds and thrown it away. If you're not completely naked, wrap your beautiful robe of words around you, and sleep. 1022 Yesterday at dawn, my Friend said, How long will this unconsciousness go on? You fill yourself with the sharp pain of Love, rather than its fulfilment.

108. Biography Of A Companion (Sahaabah): Suhayb Ar-Rumi

Suhayb ar-Rumi
About twenty years before the start of the Prophet's mission, that is about the middle of the sixth century CE, an Arab named Sinan ibn Malik governed the city of al-Uballah on behalf of the Persian emperor. The city, which is now part of Basrah, lay on the banks of the Euphrates River. Sinan lived in a luxurious palace on the banks of the river. He had several children and was particularly fond of one of them who was then barely five years old. His name was Suhayb. He was blond and fair-complexioned. He was active and alert and gave much pleasure to his father. One day Suhayb's mother took him and some members of her household to a village called ath-Thani for a picnic. What was to be a relaxing and enjoyable day turned out to be a terrifying experience that was to change the course of young Suhayb's life forever. That day, the village of ath-Thani was attacked, by a raiding party of Byzantine soldiers. The guards accompanying the picnic party were overwhelmed and killed. Ali possessions were seized and a large number of persons were taken prisoner. Among these was Suhayb ibn Sinan. Suhayb was taken to one of the slave markets of the Byzantine Empire, the capital of which was Constantinople, there to be sold. Thereafter he passed from the hands of one slave master to another. His fate was no different from thousands of other slaves who filled the houses, the palaces and castles of Byzantine rulers and aristocrats.

BACK COVER Perhaps the world's greatest spiritual poet - the gold of Rumi pours down through Coleman's words. The words leap off the page and dance! Jack Kornfield , author of A Path With Heart If Rumi is the most-read poet in America today, Coleman Barks is in good part responsible. His ear for the truly divine madness in Rumi's poetry is trul remarkable. Huston Smith , author of The World's Religions Brings something of the spiritual fragrance of Rumi into the contemporary American poetic medium and can service as a foretaste of the inner paradise of mystical poetry produced by that colossal figure of Sufi literature, Jalal al-Din Rumi. Seyyed Hossein Nasr , George Washington University Professor of Islamic Studies At the end of our wanderings there is only the soul's yearning to return to God. No one speaks that yearning better than Rumi. No one, these days, does Rumi better than Coleman Barks.

MEVLANA CELALEDDIN RUMI
T he great Turkish mystic and seeker of divine love. He lived approximately 750 years ago in central Anatolia around Konya during the Seljuk era. M evlana was a great mystic, combining in himself the thinker and the artist, and possessing a superior degree of lyricism. Love, divine love, was the sole spiritual guide in his life. He did not search for God outside, but in himself. He thought the love was the biggest sign of the God in human. He felt himself dissolved in he endless ocean of divine love, just like sugar dissolves in water, and experienced a pantheistic communion or identification with this ocean. D edicating himself to a life of endless spiritual love, poetry, music and dance, Mevlana was a great humanist. H is love of man and mankind was boundless. He used to say "We love, that is why human life is beautiful !" H is philosophy could be summarised by the following quote, him saying;
" Come again, again !
Come again, whoever you may be,
Whether an infidel, a fire-worshipper or a pagan;
No matter whether you've broken your vows a hundred times.

Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi
JALALUD'DIN RUMI, THE THIRTEENTH-CENTURY Persian lawyer-divine and Sufi, widely considered literature's greatest mystical poet, understood very well the uncontrollable and idiosyncratic impact of poetry. Yet one wonders if even he, for all his intuitive grasp of language, humanity and the cosmos foresaw the deep and diverse influence his own work would have on readers throughout the world seven centuries after his death-or the myriad meanings enthusiasts would draw from his sprawling and contradictory poems. In the Islamic world today, Rumi is read for much the same reasons he was revered during his life: for his excellence as a poet; for his rare ability to empathize with humans, animals and plants; for his personal refinement; and, above all else, for his flawless moral center and ability to direct others towards good conduct and union with Allah. Rumi's work also has been read in the West for centuries and there have been informed references to him in the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and many other eminent writers. But in recent years the popularity of his work in the West has increased to a surprising extent: according to the Christian Science Monitor, Rumi ranked as America's best-selling poet in 1997. His biography, or at least the highlights of his difficult but victorious life, should prove as inspiring as his poetry to his diverse and growing readership.

Molana Jalal-e-Din Mohammad Molavi Rumi
Jalal-e-Din Mohammad Molavi Rumi alal-e-Din Mohammad Molavi Rumi was born in 1207 A.D. at Balkh in the north-eastern provinces of Persia (present day Afghanistan). His father Baha al-Din was a renowned religious scholar. Under his patronage, Rumi received his early education from Syed Burhan-al-Din. When his age was about 18 years, the family ( after several migrations) finally settled at Qonya and at the age of 25, Rumi was sent to Aleppo (present day Syria) for advanced education and later to Damascus. Rumi continued with his education till he was 40 years old, although on his father's death Rumi succeeded him as a professor in the famous Madrasah at Qonya at the age of about 24 years. He received his mystical training first at the hands of Syed Burhan al-Din and later he was trained by Shams-e Tabrizi. He became famous for his mystical insight, his religious knowledge and as a Persian poet. He used to teach a large number of pupils at his Madrasah and also founded the famous Molavi Order in Tasawwof (Sufism). He died in 1273 A.D. at Qonya (present day Turky), which subsequently became a sacred place for dancing dervishes of the Molavi Order.

(from 'Who says words with my mouth?', trans. by Coleman Barks Jalal al-Din Rumi, known to his disciples as Maulana Rumi, "Our Master, the Byzantine", was born in Balkh, Ghurid empire (now in Afghanistan). His father, Baha'uddin Walad, was a jurist and preacher. The family moved from place to place, perhaps because political reasons or because Baha'uddin Walad did not have success as a preacher. Also the times were violent. The Mongols had turned against the Islamic states. They destroyed Balkh in 1221, and eventually conquered Baghdad in 1258. According to some sources, Rumi was visiting Baghdad just before it was sacked by the Mongols. The family settled for some time in Aleppo and Damascus, where Rumi is said to have studied. He perhaps met the great mystic Ibn al-Arabi (d.1240) or his students. From Syria the family travelled to Laranda, where Rumi's mother, Mu'mine Khatun, died. Rumi married at the age of eighteen. His first son, Sultan Walad, was born in Larada. After the death of his father in Konya in Anatolia, Rumi continued there as a teacher and theologian. Although Baha'uddin Walad had been known for his visionary powers, and he had written about spiritual love, at that time Rumi was not interested in the mystical tradition. Late in October 1244 (in some sources on November 30), Rumi met the wandering dervish called Shamsuddin of Tabriz (Shams ad-Din). Shams did not observe the Shariah, the Holy Law of Islam, and he believed that he is united with the Muhammadan Light. The encounter was the turning point in Rumi's life. Shams asked, "Who was greater, Mohammad the Prophet or the Persian mystic Bayezid Bistami?" Bistami could cry in ecstasy that he and the Godhead were one; Mohammad was the Messenger of God.

"This is love : to fly toward a s e c r e t sky, to cause a hundred veils to f a l l each moment. First to let go of life . Finally, to take a s t e p without feet." ~ Jalaluddin Rumi Passionate mystic and lyrical poet Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi was born the son of a religious teacher in what is now Afghanistan (1207-1273). In 1220, he and his family escaped from Genghis Khan's Mongol invasion, fleeing to Turkey. "The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart ," he said. His philosophy , considered an eloquent influence of the Muslim East and Christian West, speaks across all cultures and traditions. According to legend, young Rumi was given the Book of Secrets by the famous old poet Attar, then further inspired by a chance meeting with the wandering Sufi mystic Shams ed-Din Tabrizi. Love is the energizing elixir of the universe , the cause and effect of all harmonies," Rumi believed and founded his own religious order, the Mevlevi, or dancing dervishes, a leading mystical brotherhood of Islam. The main theme of Rumi's writing always celebrated love , what he considered the true moving power of life. "Let yourself be

Maulana Jalal alDin Balkhi (rumi). Born about seven years after the birth of Muslih al-Din Sa di, rumi grew up in Balkh under the tutelage of his father.
http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/bashiri/Poets/Rumi.html
Maulana Jalal al-Din Balkhi (Rumi) Written by Iraj Bashiri Generally referred to as Rumi, but known to Iranians as Maulavi, Maulana Jalal al-Din Muhammad Balkhi (henceforth Rumi) was born to a scholarly family of Balkh, in present-day Afghanistan, on September 30, 1207. At the time Balkh was one of the major centers of mysticism and Baha' al-Din Walad, Rumi's father, was one of Balkh's leading theologians and mystics particularly respected by Mohammad Khawarazm Shah. Indeed, Baha al-Din Walad's family had produced a number of competent theologians in the fields of mystic contemplation and mental exploration. Born about seven years after the birth of Muslih al-Din Sa'di, Rumi grew up in Balkh under the tutelage of his father. In 1219 or 1220, Rumi's father left Balkh for Nishapur where Rumi allegedly met Farid al-Din Attarr who presented him with a copy of his Book of Mysteries. The Shaykh is also reported to have told Rumi's father that his son would become a well-known world figure. From Nishapur, Rumi's family traveled to Baghdad, Mecca, and Damascus. None of these places satisfied Baha al-Din's requirements for a new home. Eventually, he settled in Zaranda, south east of Konya, in present-day Turkey, where Rumi married Jawhar Khatun of Samarqand. Shortly thereafter Balkh was taken over by the Mongols. In 1226, Jawhar Khatun gave birth to a son. Baha al-Din, still a highly respected theologian and mystic, attracted a sizable circle of disciples both as a teacher and as a theologian and mystic. In 1228, he moved his family to Quniyyah (Konya), the then capital of the Seljuqs of Rum, leaving Jalal a-Din's family in Zaranda. Within two years of this move, Baha al-Din died in Konya (1230).
