Written by Khalil Gibran
- On Reason and Passion -
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.
But how shall I, unless you yourselves be also the peacemakers, nay, the lovers of all your elements?
Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.
If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.
For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing; And let it direct
your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.
I would have you consider your judgment and your appetite even as you would two loved guests in your house.
Surely you would not honour one guest above the other; for he who is more mindful of one loses the love and the faith of both.
Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows - then let your heart say in silence, “God rests in reason.”
And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of the sky,- then let your heart say in awe, “God moves in passion.”
And since you are a breath in God’s sphere, and a leaf in God’s forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.
"let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;
And let it direct your passion with reason,
that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection,
and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes."
Hope you enjoy this one! Is Gibran one of the greatest poets of all time?
He really is!!! There are so many greats!!!
He is definitely one of the greats. Very close to the top of the list IMO.😔
Comparison is das thief of joy.
Das best is hardly known to man;
He probably lives on mountains and composes until he dies.
@@satnamo: Well said; it made me smile with joy. Kudos to you for this.
hey man love your vidios thank you so much for yoour time and effort
“ Rest in reason and move in passion” - powerful lines 💫

■▪︎. very good
It's deep
It's fathomless...
Can you elaborate and explain it deeply?
Khalil's poetic way of expressing truth and insight is unlike any others.
Such humans add so much to all of us
He's Poem in majority makes no sense man no joke really !

“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.” ― Marcus Aurelius
I pray so
Getting older was the only time i tuned into poems especially gibran’s. Starting to believe poems are mankind’s instrument to cry out for help, knowing nobody’s coming to save you.
Same for me. I always brushed off poetry in school and college. Now I think it's the most important writing we have.
“And passion, unattended,
is a flame that burns to its own destruction.”
spontaneous combustion 🔥 f.r.
@JLT GOD IS..
■▪︎. 🔥 a consuming fire
Felt that
How can a passion that's not found or looked over can be harmful or destructive?
@muhammedzayn27 you answered your own question. 😅
Can't hold myself from tearing up🥺
Indeed poetry can do magic. Modern day Psychology says we have two minds- the Emotional (here, referred to as Passion), the other Cognitive (here, Reason). They have inhibitory connections to each other. The emotional mind is the more rudimentary kind (the 'reptilian brain') and though it comes handy in times of emergency, it is the cognitive mind keeping a check on the overdoings of the other that makes us humans different from other animals. This complex understanding of psychology has been simply yet succinctly put through in this poem. This can perhaps inspire readers/listeners 1000 times more than dry facts from a psychology book could (where I learnt it from). And therein lies the beauty and triumph and importance of Art! 💖
Absolutely!

Loved it!
I can’t stress enough how much I love this channel.
give me a reason! give me a passion! give me a purpose! and I shall pursue it all the days of my life..
purpose and passion.. what else
passion is the purpose reason is the protecter of passion
"I don't know how to be silent when my heart is speaking" - Fyodor Dostoevsky
Oh how I loved this! It brought tears to my eyes. Everything within us that appears "conflicting" shares the same space that we are. When the perceived inner conflict is no longer perceived as conflict but rather felt as co-existence, peace ensues. We need only to allow all that we are to co-exist peacefully within. When we experience this inside, all the apparent "conflict" outside also begins to feel as co-existence. All part of the same shared space that we are.
The voice was so soothing I couldn’t pay attention to the actual poem
We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
The poets of time are the true philosophers of truth.
This man's voice. Perfection.
Heal the past, live the present, dream the future.
- Mary Engelbreit
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”1 Corinthians 1:18
No body asked … let’s just enjoy the poem
@@Soulsomeliving Excuse me, but t this poem does have God in it, so I think him quoting a Bible verse such as this one fits perfectly. You didn't need to be a thumb gangster, all u needed to do was push it along. Clearly if you don't believe in God then why are you here listening to a poem that clearly involves God.......
@@Andy-be4kp she never said that she did not belive in God..
why assume.. what you do not know.. ?
@@Soulsomeliving hey
i want some of that delicious looking "soul" food on your channel.. 😁
@Be Lionel Scott amen..
Life and God.. are nice.. 🌤
you know something is fantastic when it is over before the feeling of exhilaration has left you
Nourishment for my heart, soul and mind. ❤️❤️❤️
we are all.. very well nourished here
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield ❤️ agreed
It's though to realize the hard truths and realities of how we treat ourselves.

"There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed."
So, don’t give up on your dreams; improve and educate yourself to succeed!

Thank you. How can I have gone thru life without hearing this beautiful poem? I was ready to give up on my work (passion) until I heard this. This is priceless.
I swallowed a pill today. This pill, which I know will guide my life until I fall, but as a dry leaf in the green forest. The pill of wisdom-chief driver of my resting in reason and my moving in passion. Thank God I came here!!

Maybe one day I'll see those white poplars, I'll rest in their shade and watch the storm approaching from across the sea. I'll feel the wind grow still and see for myself this passion the Prohpet spoke of. Words are beautiful but I am glad they are not enough.
Oh, that was so wonderful ...
