What a beautiful message!
Really excellent speech, managed to captivate me .. I was listening for every single word .. He is very calm and clear addressing beautiful thoughts that stress on compassion and selflessness.
The words of true wisdom are not bound by any religion or culture, those who think that wisdom that came from one religion is for that religion, then he is nothing but a fool who threw away diamond for a rock.
Well said yo
@@CoolCat6131 I like this comment, but it also takes away from the point. If you want to be more pc then I suppose you can say "a fool who threw away more wisdow for less wisdom"...but it doesn't sound as catchy haha.
I think the idea of a soul is just the ego trying to define itself, to better the mask, the illusion. And if you think otherwise, how can you distinguish what is true and what is just your ego that's muttering? Because saying 'I have a soul' could very well be an egoistic statement.
For me any self definition is the ego talking, trying to grasp reality and have firm ground to stand on. Anything said is a part of that mask.
But then there's the question of what lies beneath the ego?
Who is it that sees the ego?
Who am I?
And that's..... the wrong question. Because any answer just builds up the illusion of self.
When you understand that, and you see that there's nothing you can do about it, that anything you try is a trap that sends you back in the mess you started with, you find peace.
You stop trying to fix yourself, because there's nothing to fix. You accept the game of life and take the opportunity to have fun with it. Fears leave and life is fun. A game of hide and seek. Good and bad go together and every moment carries the same importance. Because there is only this moment.
Compassion is born of the ego, from your ideas of what 'good' and 'evil' actually are. It means 'suffer with', and it is not what we must have, for that is merely empathy. Compassion is what leads to opinions, and opinions lead to conflict. Abject truth with regard to causality, cost, and consequence, in combination with treating others as you want to be treated, are the only things we need.
Jazak Allah..!
Wonderful speech!
This speech seemed to compete with today's trends like "Be Yourself" or "Do what you want to do."
Should we believe the same GOD together for making the perfect world? Should we be modest?
I don't think so.
such a wonderful speech!
I love Rumi’s message but my love is here and now
The knowledge of truth is within every human being... that's why Islam prohibit all things harmful to the human consciousness i.e. drugs, intoxicants
What you said actually occurred to me recently, why do people of certain faiths abstain from certain food, items etc and why they fast.
The problem is it's all too often lost in all the religious rhetoric and piety but the intentions are nevertheless good
Great message! Thank You!
Super speech
Maşallah
Fabolous
I prefer lose your ego, find your compassion, being taken advantage of, lose your compassion and gain your ego.....wrong me if im wrong

u came here to have boundries,,,yet,,when we learn to love all boundries and how they produce a unique habitat for eccentricity ,,,,we will be {The Appreciators of Life) Rather than the (Haters and complainers and Destroyers of Life) to the future Now :)
*You're distracting yourself.*

Rumi was not a muslim. Rumi has gone above the religions. He was searching for the source. Every esoteric person is above the religions.
No, he was a Sunni Muslim.
“I am the servant of the Qur'an as long as I have life.
I am the dust on the path of Muhammad, the Chosen One.” Rumi
Meric Ekinci rumi was to lead to greatness by islam. not to mention his work is seen as an exgenesis of Quran.
Rumi’nin hikayeleri Kurandaki surelerden yola çıkarak hazırlamıştır.Dediğin şeye bence kendin bile inanmıyorsun.Son cümlen o kadar cahilceki ...

I thought it was nice till he diminished Jesus Christ to a simple man and not the son of God Yashua is Lord
might have been a good message shame religion was tied to it
Hipster McFixiebike I agree. Any argument stated through religion is one lost to anyone either not of that religion or not of any faith. Its a shame his message was not wider.
Hipster McFixiebike What? You are disappointed, that an *idea* was tied to *ideological philosophy*?
Hipster McFixiebike If you don't like it take your intolerance somewhere else. Don't watch the video, simple.
Ahmed.a_94 your religion is a lie im sorry for you
Komainu - The Social Media Expert tragic
I could assert the exact opposite of everything he just said and it would have equal validity. Pick up your game TED.
NotMyRealName inflated ego. You would not be able to stand 1 minute of debate with this imam.
What a load of nonsense
Islam recognizes only submission
Sufi is considered haram as per Islam.
Wages war and claims compassion
Only fools would beleive this Islamic lie.
chimemonster I believe you have good intentions, but your means i don't approve of. Using hate for reaching your goals is not helping. I hope you have the tolerence to understand! :-)
Read Quran with stories life of Muhammed (sav). Islam didn’t start war.War in everytime.War is history of humanity.
