Bhagat Rumi

Vahiguroojikefateh!!

Paras Bhag, and some Sewapanthi scriptures are based upon the Persian esoterical works by great Sufi Bhagats/Pirs like Rumi Sahib Ji, this is one of his poems translated by Dr Deepak Chopra Sahib:

Vahiguroo says to Rumi Sahib Ji,

You have been hiding so long aimlessly drifting in the sea of my love,

even though you have always been connected to me concelled revealed,

in the known in the unmanifest,

i am life itself,

you have been a prisoner in 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 Sahib ji says:

I desire you more than food or water,

my body my mind hunger for your taste.

I can sense your presence in my heart,

although you belong to all the world by being in silent passion.

For one gesture one glance from you............

Paaras Bhag is a translation of al-Ghazzali's work Kimiya-i-sa'dat, Musnavi Bhakha by Bhai Gharoo Sewapanthi is a translation of a small bit of Rumi's musnuvi. See

Mevlana Rumi's mausoleum in Konya, Turkey was one of the most increible places I've been to. That atmosphere is further enhanced by continual ney (reed flute) music being played.

http://www.sewapanthi.org/htmls/sufi_rumi.html

The Masnavi itself opens with the song of the ney. I'll try and find it when I'm back home and post. It's worth the wait. There are incredible sakhis about him, such as family being concerned about his health, as he would kneel on the roof alnight long in samadhi and in the morning would have bloodied feet. He even went as far as apologising to his poor body for the abuse he put it through!

No mention can be made of Rumi without mentioning the sun of tabriz...shams-i-tabriz, who transformed Mevlana. The traditional approach to Mevlana Turbesi (Rumi's tomb) is to first walk to Shams' out of respect. You can see his tomb here half way down the page;

http://www.sewapanthi.org/htmls/links.html

It is a very quiet small mosque.

The 'whirling dervishes' are the Mevlevis, the order descended from mevlana (although it's rituals were more influenced by Rumi's son Sultan Veled's formalisation later). The origin is demonstrated in the sakhi in which Rumi experiences that state of intoxication and can only whirl through the streets in the characteristic manner depicted in Mevlevi ritual.

three cheers for Sewapanthi.com... amazing website !!! so much information !!!

[Guest Javanmard]

Millions of blessing on Rumi and Shams e Tabriz!!!

Rumi’s banis are not contained Guru Granth Sahib Jee, he is not considered a part of the Bhagat Mala i.e. Kabir, Namdev, Farid etc. Yet he is being discussed on “Gurbani and Gurmat Discussion†section?

Wouldn’t the “Comparative religion/philosophy†section be a more suitable place for this discussion?

[Guest Javanmard]

His works are part of the essential readings of teh Sevapanthis and Guru Gobind Singh, as the scholar of Persian that he was, knew his writings very well.

Dhan Dhan Bhagat Rumi - a true lover of Allah

[Guest Maha_Pavitar]

in his words:

Who is at my door?

He said, "Who is at my door?"

I said, "Your humble servant."

He said, "What business do you have?"

I said, "To greet you, 0 Lord."

He said, "How long will you journey on?"

I said, "Until you stop me."

He said, "How long will you boil in the fire?"

I said, "Until I am pure.

"This is my oath of love.

For the sake of love

I gave up wealth and position."

He said, "You have pleaded your case

but you have no witness."

I said, "My tears are my witness;

the pallor of my face is my proof.'

He said, "Your witness has no credibility;

your eyes are too wet to see."

I said, "By the splendor of your justice

my eyes are clear and faultless."

He said, "What do you seek?"

I said, "To have you as my constant friend."

He said, "What do you want from me?"

I said, "Your abundant grace."

He said, "Who was your companion on the 'ourney?

I said, "The thought of you, 0 King."

He said, "What called you here?"

I said, "The fragrance of your wine."

He said, "What brings you the most fulfillment?"

I said, "The company of the Emperor."

He said, "What do you find there?"

I said, "A hundred miracles."

He said, "Why is the palace deserted?"

I said, "They all fear the thief."

He said, "Who is the thief?"

I said, "The one who keeps me from -you.

He said, "Where is there safety?"

I said, "In service and renunciation."

He said, "What is there to renounce?"

I said, "The hope of salvation."

He said, "Where is there calamity?"

I said, "In the presence of your love."

He said, "How do you benefit from this life?"

I said, "By keeping true to myself

Now it is time for silence.

If I told you about His true essence

You would fly from your self and be gone,

and neither door nor roof could hold you back!
