In this video we delve into the timeless wisdom of Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic scholar, and Sufi mystic. Rumi's work transcends temporal boundaries and cultural divides, speaking to the universal experience of the human soul.

Through Rumi's verses, the video elucidates the concept of 'The Resurrection is Now,' where each moment holds the potential for rebirth and transformation. As Rumi eloquently states, "In every moment there is a dying and coming back around" – a profound reminder that life's continuity is a series of instantaneous renewals, akin to a "pouring that refreshes and renews itself so rapidly it seems continuous."

This compilation of Rumi's thoughts offers an escape from the linearity of time, guiding the listener to a realization that "this world is but a moment," urging us to live with the immediacy and presence of a Sufi, the 'son of the present time.' Rumi encourages his disciples to look at time as an illusion, considering that the past is gone, the future is yet to come, and there is only this present moment now, ever-renewing, ever-refreshing.

While Rumi supports the idea of a greater resurrection at the end of this earthly life, he also perpetuates the idea that there is a resurrection with every breath. In every moment, the force responsible for adaptation and evolution is also adapting and evolving our very souls, and every moment we are resurrected into the circumstances of our choices.

This concept offers hope for the future, demonstrating how we are not static individuals, but we are reborn every moment, giving us the opportunity to change by taking action in the present for a better present tomorrow.

Peace and blessings be with you, I hope the quotes in this video are of use to some soul out there, as I know that the words of Rumi have always provided profound wisdom and comfort to me in times of need. Praise be to the Lord of all religions, the Spirit within the heart of all the saints. Peace be upon the saints of the Lord.
