I have read and listened to Rumi in farsi and practiced Rumi's teaching over 20 years now. Also, have listened to coleman translation and compared it to farsi. That is why I have introduced him to people who are in need of true love in their life. Job well done Coleman, love you❤

Coleman I love you man

So elated and crying at the same time... been a follower of Coleman for 30 years now... I met his guru Bawa in Philadelphia at the Sufi Order center 1977.... I had no idea what to expect ...I was invited by my Sufi brothers.. There was a period of silence before Bawa appeared and sat lightly as a feather on his cushion... no words just absolute LOVE was there, I felt like dropping to my knees.... became dizzy, he looked translucent, I questioned is he really here? So much light I almost could not see. Years later I was given the cassette set of you and Robert Bly, then a friend gifted me a beautiful book " The Illuminated Rumi" and there was picture of Bawa! So much Love and so much Light emanating off the page....Thank you Coleman !!!!

Me, too!

Just a tremendous conversation between two great minds helping each of us to understand the deeper things of our Soul. Pure Light lifting our thoughts to new heights of understanding and broadening our thoughts of who we truly are. A very beautiful evening.

This was the perfect way to start the day 💛🙏🔥💃

Thank you so much Coleman and Tami. I melt when I hear Coleman's translations of Rumi's poems. It wakes up something in me that I didn't know existed.

This is beautiful it's how I feel hanging out with my teacher in the family that took me in💪🌹

This is so hauntingly beautiful. So nice to listen during lunch break amidst lockdown.

Beautiful insights on Love, friendship, an the heart.

Thank you for beautiful Translations Colman. I am so happy to have bought and listened to Rumi and the sacred experience. I am not sure this will reach you but I couldn’t hold my appreciation and not sure where else to send this. 🙏

My favourite quote: *~ In sufi circles they say: “There’s prayer, and a step up from that is meditation, and a step up from that is sohbet, or conversation.” Who is talking to HU! (The pronoun for divine presence.) Lover to beloved, teacher to disciple. The Friendship of Rumi and Shams became a continuous conversation, in silence and words, presence talking to absence, existence to non-existence, periphery to center. Rumi’s poetry may be heard as eavesdropping on that exchange.” ~* Coleman Barks

What day I was born in 1986🫣🤫💧🌊🧿🌹

Became aware of Barks via the vacuous celebrities quoting his Rumi 'translations'.

How Rumi Destroyed My life He captures the imagination and directs them toward a self-destructive path of giving away material pleasures and physical comfort through periods of fasting to cause hallucinations and dread and preys on your conscience and uses the guilt to guide people towards depression and hopelessness Rumi is a hiding behind dark love directed towards the divine He claims to represent tolerance and universal love He claims that the spirit of his love dwells in every human heart His teachings lead to intense hallucinations especially during periods of hardship such as physical pain or dehydration He hides behind faith and spirituality but his teachings are full of hubris. This is evident in his teachings through a lack of any sort of acknowledgement of mistakes He captures the imagination of poor and innocent souls and directs them toward a self-destructive path of giving away material pleasures and physical comfort through periods of fasting to cause hallucinations and dread and preys on your conscience and uses the guilt to guide people towards depression and hopelessness Some might remember a bearded Uber drive in the DC area who introduced people to Rumi in ignorance.
