“In me there’s another force

that gives rise to these harsh words.

Scalding water

is caused by fire, not water.”

I have no stone in my hand,

no argument with anyone.

I put down no one,

for I am as sweet as a bed of roses.

That Supreme Source speaks through me…

It has given you a hint—that is enough.

Now let me sit here,

on the threshold of two worlds,

Lost in the eloquence of silence.

💜RUMI🤍

2/23 Edited to

... Read moreReflecting on Rumi’s poetry, I’ve come to appreciate how deeply it resonates with everyday experiences of facing conflict and seeking peace. His metaphor of "scalding water caused by fire, not water" captures the truth that often, intense reactions come from internal emotions or circumstances rather than the surface issues themselves. In my own life, I’ve noticed that when I approach conversations or conflicts with calm rather than aggression, the outcomes tend to be more constructive. This echoes the poem's gentle reminder: "I put down no one, for I am as sweet as a bed of roses." There’s a powerful lesson in choosing kindness and restraint even when provoked. Sitting "on the threshold of two worlds," as Rumi describes, feels like those moments when I find myself between stress and peace, action and reflection. Embracing the "eloquence of silence" can be difficult, but it often allows greater clarity and emotional healing. This silence does not mean weakness but signifies a deep inner strength fueled by the “Supreme Source” within us all. For anyone navigating emotional storms, Rumi’s words serve as a poetic guide to find balance and calm. His timeless wisdom encourages us to listen to the silent voice within and let it guide our responses. In a noisy world, learning to sit peacefully with oneself can be one of the greatest acts of courage and self-love.
