Never mind the naysayers.   They cover dirt with dirt,   hoping to grow something out of nothing. Your passion is a love song   only the stars and moon can dance to.   For in the veil of night   only you see what others can’t,   what bottled up dreams   yearn to burst   and paint the sky   with wild colors. In the world of gain,   many have forgotten this simple truth:           Your passion is a gift—             a well for others to drink from,             not for you to drown in. Because what you seek   has already been given to you in spades. Joy’s infinite offspring   building castles in your heart.   A purpose, a meaning, an expression.   The dove realizing it has wings   taking flight. This is what it means to have passion,   and from it,  Delight. ~ Najim Mostamand

Are you looking for love? You may be searching for the wrong thing. Regardless of whether that's romantic, platonic, or spiritual, Rumi advises us to don't look for love. We shouldn't look for love, because love is already here, inside us. Paraphrasing the famous Rumi quote, our goal is not to seek love, but to seek and find all the obstacles that prevent us from realizing it. We sabotage our own happiness and ability to experience love. So, if you want to learn the secret of how to truly experience love, watch this video to the end. If you're a fan of Rumi poetry & spiritual poetry, or just want to raise your spiritual awareness and achieve spirituality awakening, this inspirational video is definitely for you.

But why do you even have to look? Love is not lost, love is right here, closer than your own arteries and veins, It's you who always sets up barriers between yourself and love. Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. ~ Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi

Have you ever wondered where to go for spiritual growth? Is it in the ancient holy sites spread across the Middle East and Asia? Is it in the religious establishments covering all of Europe? Or is it deep in the wilderness of North America? You may be surprised at the answer, and especially to know that you don't even need a passport to visit. Mirza Ghalib, one of India's most renowned and decorated poets, describes so beautifully the only place we need to go to truly awaken. In this deep poem, we learn of the one place where we can visit (and hopefully live) to grow spiritually and eventually awaken. So, dive into the spiritual wisdom of this Mirza Ghalib poetry, and get ready to travel to your life's most important destination.

No one to understand my speech, No one around to talk with, There, I want to reach. I wish to build, One such house, Without a door to enter, Without the boundary walls, Thus there will be no neighbors, And there will be no guard. There will be no one thus, To take care of me, When I fall ill. And there will be no one To mourn or cry When I die. ~ Mirza Ghalib

Silence is everything. We often feel the need to express ourselves and share what's on our mind, when in reality, silence is usually better for us. Perhaps Rumi knows this better than most, using the pen-name "Khamosh," or Silence, for many of his poems. Listen to this deep poem for yourself, and see how silence changes your life.

Thich Nhat Hanh was arguably one of the greatest spiritual teachers in our modern era. He was known primarily for his teachings on inner peace, nonviolence, and mindfulness, but before he left this world he gave us a remarkable poem describing the eternal nature of our Soul. "This Body Is Not Mine" reminds me a lot of Rumi's "When I Die," and like Rumi, Thich Nhat Hanh so eloquently describes why you will never die. Why even though our bodies will one day wither and die, our Soul continues on meeting each other again in every life form and in every moment.

I am not limited by this body. I am life without boundaries. I have never been born, and I shall never die. Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars, manifestations from my wondrous true mind. Since before time, I have been free. Birth and death are only doors through which we pass, sacred thresholds on our journey. Birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek. So laugh with me, hold my hand, let us say good-bye, say good-bye, to meet again soon. We meet today. We will meet again tomorrow. We will meet at the source every moment. We meet each other in all forms of life. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

"You Are Magnificent From Within" is one of my favorite Rumi poems and probably one of the only inspirational poems you'll ever need when you're feeling down or just need a little pick-me-up. Like so many Rumi poems, we can't help but feel inspired and at our very best. But more than providing inspiration, this deep poem also helps us to awaken and experience real spiritual growth.

Part the waters with your staff – you are today's Moses. Tear through the cloak of fog! You are of the light, the same light as Muhammad. Shatter the mirrors of the beautiful, you are the dazzling Joseph. Blow the breath of life like Christ – you, too, are of that air. Break away from the unscrupulous; do not fall for the deceit of ghouls. You are of noble origin – you are from the highest high. By spirit, you are deathless – imperishable; magnificent from within. You belong to the glorious – you are of divine radiance. What have you seen of your own beauty? You are still veiled… One dawn, like the sun, you will rise up from within yourself. It is a shame to be shrouded this way like the moon under cloud. Tear through the cloud of body! You are the magnificent moon. You are like a hawk whose feet are bound, tethered to the body – It is with your own claws that you must untie the knots. How joyous is gold when it enters the fire! for it is within the flames where it can show its essence and radiate its virtues. Do not run away from the fire's flames! What will happen if you step into them for trial's sake? It will not burn you, I swear; your face will glow, like gold. For you are Abraham's kin; ancient knowingness is yours. No mine has a jewel like you! This world has no life like you! For this is the world of decay and you are life-giving life... ~ Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi

We board this train when we are born, and our parents are the ones who get our ticket. We believe they will always travel on this train with us. However, at some station our parents will get off the train, leaving us alone on this journey. As time goes by, other passengers will board the train, many of whom will be significant - our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of our life. Many will get off during the journey and leave a permanent vacuum in our lives. Many will go so unnoticed that we won't even know when they vacated their seats and got off the train! This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, hellos, good-byes, and farewells. A good journey is helping and loving one another, and making sure that we give our best to make our co passengers feel happy and comfortable in their journey. The mystery of this fabulous journey is that we don't know at which station we ourselves will leave the train. So, we must live in the best way possible. We must adjust, forget, forgive and offer the best of what we have. Because when the time comes for us to leave our seat, we should leave nothing behind but beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.

Prayer can mean so many different things to so many different people. Yet at their core, all forms of prayer are intended to accomplish one thing: to connect with God, the Universe, Divinity, our Highest Self, etc. If you want to know how to get closer to God, you probably have already explored or practiced prayer as a means to grow spiritually, raise your Consciousness and experience Oneness or nonduality. But not all types of prayer are the same. Some types of prayer go deeper than the others, which is what Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi meant when he responded to this question from one of his disciples: what's better than praying? Dive into this ancient wisdom, because you may be surprised at the answer.

How to stop overthinking is one of the biggest challenges we face in life. We overthink everything, from our appearance and how people perceive us to the relationships we have and the careers we pursue. But how do we actually stop overthinking? Is it all just endless meditation until the mind is quiet? Or is there something else we can do or embody to nurture a silent mind? In this deep poem, Rumi tells us of another tool in our spiritual toolkit to calm our mind and raise our inner peace. He so eloquently describes the dangers of overthinking and offers a solution for anyone serious about traveling on the spiritual journey and raising their consciousness.

You think in order to escape from torment and suffering, but your thinking is torment’s fountainhead. Know that the bazaar of God’s Making is outside of thought - contemplate His effects, oh you who are dominated by fire! Behold that Lane from which all forms are flying, that Stream which turns the mill-wheel of the heavens. That Rose-faced Beauty who makes the faces of the heart-ravishers like roses, that Source of all temptations from whom lovers’ cheeks are inflamed! These hundred thousand birds keep flying happily from Nonexistence, these hundred thousand arrows keep streaming forth from one Bow. ~ Rumi

Many people, including myself, have often wondered what the spiritual world is like. Personal experience has taught me that we can only grasp this beautiful world—our true world—once we actually experience it. Put simply, there are no words, descriptions or analysis that can capture it. But in a deeply inspired state, I wrote this deep poem to try to convey some of the feelings and experiences one has when they are traveling this world and achieving some sort of spiritual awakening. As the famous quote goes, "you are not a human being having a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being having a human experience."

Deeper you go, ‘til depth means nothing. What you seek is what you are, and that is something. Oceans upon oceans you love to travel, not realizing the greatest mystery’s inside, waiting to be unraveled. But if you do yearn to make this shift, step into this world now, and rise like mist. ~ Najim Mostamand

Who am I? Who are we? It's one of the most asked questions we will ever ask ourselves, because life can seem empty and meaningless if we don't know our origin, identity, or purpose. In a mad pursuit to find the answers to these questions, we often spend our whole lives unconsciously trying to develop an identity, thinking that our individuality and uniqueness is essential. But in this Rumi poem, we learn that everything we do is actually a reflection of our Source: God. And who we are, beneath all the delusions we tell ourselves, is actually God. Many Buddhist teachings describe this as nonduality or Oneness, and Rumi seemed to have believed or at least entertained the same notion: that we are not really separate from our Source. Rather, it is our mind (as controlled by the ego), which has instilled in us the belief that we are something and someone different. Finding yourself has never been made any easier when you can take a deep breath and know that your true identity has always been with you—and within you—all this time. You can drop all the stress, pressure, anxiety, and fear of trying to develop an identity, and instead go deeper in your spiritual journey to experience this spiritual awakening.

And if we come to wake we are in His hands. If we come to weeping we are His cloud full of raindrops. And if we come to laughing we are His lightning in that moment. If we come to anger and battle it is the reflection of His wrath. And if we come to peace and pardon it is the reflection of His love. Who are we in this complicated world?” ~ Rumi

This love poem by Saadi Shirazi hits on a key aspect of connecting with God: we must be sincerely devoted and make sacrifices on our spiritual journey to experience Oneness and Awakening. To truly embody divine love and attain spiritual growth, we can't just talk the talk. We also have to walk the walk. And in this short, but deep poem, Saadi paints an interesting contrast between the morning bird and the moth—both personifying two distinct types of people: those who merely talk about connecting with God (e.g. the bird), and those that actually do (e.g. the moth). In essence, he's telling us to not blindly follow gurus that only talk about awakening, but haven't actually experienced it.

These pretenders are ignorantly in search of Him, Because he who obtained knowledge has not returned. ~ Saadi

In our modern day life—with its numerous distractions, tasks, and responsibilities—it's easy to disconnect with God and take steps back on our spiritual journey. There are a lot of tools at our disposal—such as meditation, yoga, prayer, mindfulness, etc.—that can help us reconnect with God, but one tool for spirituality awakening that is often forgotten is spiritual poetry. This is especially true with the love poetry of Rumi, whose ancient wisdom on awakening provides such a clear roadmap for how to get closer to God—perhaps even more so today than when first shared with the world nearly 800 years ago. "A Mine of Rubies" is an inspirational poem that will foster your spiritual growth and awaken the divine love within you. While not as known as some of Rumi's other famous love poems, this poem is—like its title—a mine of rubies when it comes to love poetry related to God.

I looked inward and the beauty of my own emptiness filled me till dawn. It enveloped me like a mine of rubies. Its hue clothed me in red silk. Within the cavern of my soul I heard the voice of a lover crying, "Drink now! Drink now!"— I took a sip and saw the vast ocean— Wave upon wave caressed my soul. The lovers of God dance around And the circle of their steps becomes a ring of fire round my neck. Heaven calls me with its rain and thunder— a hundred thousand cries yet I cannot hear... All I hear is the call of my Beloved. ~ Rumi Divan-e Shams, Ghazal 2015

If you don't want to be alone, you might want to think again. As we see in this popular Hafez poem, loneliness carries many secrets on how to get closer to God and how to live a better life. It's a wonderful tool in our spiritual toolkit to experience real spiritual growth and divine love. Naturally, feeling lonely can be a very difficult emotion to handle, but as Hafez instructs, loneliness can serve as a medium for connecting with God. Therefore, "don't surrender your loneliness so quickly. Let it cut more deep." It may be that the thing you are trying to avoid the most can actually help you the most.

Something missing in my heart tonight has made my eyes so soft, my voice so tender, My need of God absolutely clear. ~ Hafiz

When you lose yourself in this love, you will find everything. Lose yourself, Lose yourself. Do not fear this loss, For you will rise from the earth and embrace the endless heavens. Lose yourself, Lose yourself. Escape from this earthly form, For this body is a chain and you are its prisoner. Smash through the prison wall and walk outside with the kings and princes. Lose yourself, Lose yourself at the foot of the glorious King. When you lose yourself before the King you will become the King. Lose yourself, Lose yourself. Escape from the black cloud that surrounds you. Then you will see your own light as radiant as the full moon. Now enter that silence. This is the surest way to lose yourself... What is your life about, anyway?— Nothing but a struggle to be someone, Nothing but a running from your own silence.

Want to know how to live life to the fullest? Rumi has an answer for that. "The Guest House" is one of the most sublime pieces of inspirational poetry by Rumi that one will ever read or hear. It's a deep poem with tons of wisdom about life—and if read between the lines, it offers incredible insights into how we can approach challenges and achieve a spirituality awakening. In this Rumi poem reading, you will not only feel inspired by this famous Rumi poem—which has been the source of many a Rumi quote—but will also uncover some guidance for progressing on your own spiritual journey, including welcoming everything that comes your way in life—whether good or bad.

Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. ~ Translated by Coleman Barks

Inspired by Sufi poetry and spiritual poems, "At the Gates of Heaven" is a deep poem I wrote about how to get closer to God here in our present life as opposed to just in a Heaven in a distant afterlife. Often, we may think or believe that meeting God can only happen after life ends, but God is always here inside all of us. We just have to turn inward toward our hearts to find Him. If you are interested in spiritual poetry, connecting with God, or just hearing some words of wisdom about life, this poem is definitely for you.

Here, at the gates of Heaven at last! Names read aloud atop a hill. Hearts swooning at the anxious thrill. For a sight, a mere sight, of the Holy One! The reward long sought in life’s conclusion. Eyes leave shattered homes in frantic search of the One who gave meaning to death and birth. But they all return broken to the same place from where they left, their image defaced. God was always here, inside us all, but we fell searching, lost in free fall. All it takes are closed eyes and open heart for the gates to open and the Soul to part.

This Khalil Gibran poem from The Prophet is one of the best poems to help with our spiritual growth. Most of us bicker and complain about the physical and emotional pain in our life, not realizing that it is the key to our happiness. Kahlil Gibran teaches us that pain is one of our greatest spiritual teachers in life, and that pain has beauty and wisdom that we can appreciate. First, we dive into this inspirational poem and then we'll take a couple of minutes to distill its wisdom for dealing with pain in our own lives.

And he said: Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief. Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility: For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen, And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears. ~ From The Prophet

How to live in the moment is one of the most searched and talked about topics in today's self-care and wellness movement—for good reason. Living in the moment reduces stress, elevates our mood and happiness, and creates the space for inner peace to naturally arise and flourish. But how do we actually do it? On this episode of Life Talks, we uncover some of the ancient wisdom from the poems of 11th and 12th century Persian poet and polymath Omar Khayyam, and apply this wisdom to our modern lives. At the end of it, my hope is that you'll have the guidance and inspiration to actually live in the moment and harness the power of now.

"If you seek the Beauty of the Friend, look into your heart where that mirror hangs." ~ Attar 0:00 – Parable of the King's Mirror 2:50 – "When You Become One with the Beloved" - poem by Attar 4:25 – "Turn to Your Heart and See the Beloved's Face" - poem by Attar Attar's epic poem, The Conference of the Birds, is filled with enchanting stories, tales, and parables that convey a deeper meaning for how we can get closer to God. One of the more well-known parables is the Parable of the King's Mirror, which tells of a great and beautiful King (God) who is admired by all, but unfortunately is unable to be seen by anyone. That is, of course, until he makes a great revelation that allows for all souls yearning to see and meet him to walk into his embrace. Supplementing this parable are two poems that expound on the story's meaning, and provide some guidance and inspiration as to how we can find God. Listen deeply to this tale, and you might be surprised by Attar's response on finding God. All excerpts are from The Conference of the Birds by Attar, translated by Sholeh Wolpe. #attar #spiritualpoetry #spiritualityawakening --- Want to feel inspired at even deeper level and experience real spiritual growth?

We are always afraid of death. Death of our loved ones, and even more so, death of our self. But why? As Rumi so eloquently expresses in one of the best Rumi quotes: "a grave is only a curtain for the paradise behind." We become so attached to this world and to our material body and sense of self, that the thought of losing it all and ultimately being seen as "nothing" devastates and frightens us—to the point that we will do anything to avoid thinking or talking about death. But as with everything in life, if we do not understand one thing, we cannot appreciate its opposite. If we do not give death our time, attention, and respect, we will never truly appreciate our life. It is death that makes life meaningful. And so, I hope you all enjoy this wonderful Rumi poem, and use it as a reference for whenever you or a loved one are approaching death and feel petrified, devastated, and hopeless.

It's a state of ecstasy in which one completely loses their mind in love of the Beloved, seeking union and the return to their true home and essence.
