When you plant a tree

every leaf that grows will tell you

what you sow will bear fruit.

So if you have any sense, my friend,

don't plant anything but Love,

you show your worth by what you seek.

Water flows to those who want purity.

Wash your hands of all desires,

and come to the table of Love.

Do you want me to tell you a secret ?

The flowers attract the most beautiful lover

with their sweet smile and scent.

If you let Love weave the verse in your poem

people will read it forever.

Rumi

5/8 Edited to

... Read moreReading Rumi's poetry always feels like opening a door to a profound spiritual conversation. This particular poem beautifully emphasizes the idea that what we nurture within ourselves shapes the world around us. It reminds me of a personal experience when I decided to consciously 'plant love' in my daily interactions. Instead of reacting with impatience or anger, I chose kindness and empathy, which gradually transformed my relationships and outlook on life. The metaphor of planting a tree and tending to its leaves to see what fruit it bears spoke to me deeply. It reflects the universal truth that our actions and intentions are seeds for our future experiences. Water flowing to those who desire purity suggests that when we clarify our intentions and remove selfish desires, we attract more genuine and meaningful connections. Additionally, the poem’s imagery of flowers attracting the most beautiful lovers with their smile and scent beautifully illustrates the natural magnetism of positive energy and love. This inspired me to cultivate positivity not just for myself but as a way to enrich the community around me. Incorporating love into creative expressions, like poetry, is another enriching point this poem highlights. Sharing heartfelt verses can leave a lasting impact, connecting readers through shared emotions and truths. I’ve found that when I write with genuine feelings, it resonates more deeply, much like Rumi’s timeless words. Overall, embracing Rumi's message encourages us to cultivate love and purity in our hearts and actions. This mindset not only enhances our personal growth but also contributes positively to the world, creating ripples of kindness and meaningful connections that endure.
