Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi was a 13th Century Persian poet, an Islamic dervish and a Sufi mystic. He belonged to a family of learned theologians. Rumi was thirty-eight when an event that changed his life forever the relationship with Shams, a great Persian scholar, is one of the most extraordinary spiritual bonds known to history.

“The mystic lover finally understands the futility of his poetic endeavors and resumes silence and in silent gratitude around the beauty and majesty of God like an atom around the sun. He listens to His communication, and he gets completely dissolved into a state where there is no speaker and hearer. And the mystic lover flows into dissolution in the midst of all the symbols of different shades and colors and in the darkness of light.”  

Rumi’s poetry is a series of mystical experiences, a reflection on nature’s beauty, a song, a dance, an idea, a feeling, anything that makes us human, things we can see and cant, he show us the importance of every experience, be it good or bad. Below you will find the script to this film and popular quotes from Rumi that prove how spiritual and intense his poems have become.
