Rumi: Say I Am You (Sufi poem)

Back


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.

Sufism is the ultimate religious state. None of these religious establishment that try to manipulate people in order to achieve their own gain. People put aside your stupid difference and understand the message of each of your religions, hindus, jews, christians, muslims. It doesn't matter, all of these religions state understanding of other.
If you think otherwise you are lost in the path of darkness.

"Say I am You" Allah the divine is within all of us.. We can only connect with the One through our inner being..and all of our actions and life's purpose should be to connect, and be one with Him. We must seek our own truth to know Him. May we attain that degree. amin.
