Maulana Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhi (Rumi)

Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.

Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.

Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.

Rumi

Иҷозат деҳ, он чизе ки ту онро бо тамоми вуҷуд дӯст медорӣ, туро ба сӯи худ ҷалб кунад.

Ин байти зебои Мавлоно даъвати ба пайравии дил ва орзуҳои воқеии худ аст. Мавлоно мегӯяд, ки набояд иҷозат диҳем, ки тарсҳо, ҳукми дигарон ё таъссуби иҷтимоӣ монеъ аз он шаванд, ки ба пайи чизе равем, ки воқеан онро дӯст медорем. Ин байт ба мо ёдрас мекунад, ки ишқ қуввае пурқувват аст, ки метавонад моро ба сӯи рушд ва камол ҳидоят кунад.

  МАВЛОНО ҶАЛОЛУДДИН МУҲАММАДИ БАЛХӢ 

بگذار آن چیزی که عاشقانه دوستش داری، تو را به سوی خود بکشاند.

این بیت زیبا از مولانا دعوتی است به دنبال کردن قلب و امیال واقعی خود. مولانا می‌گوید که نباید اجازه دهیم ترس‌ها، قضاوت‌های دیگران یا تعصبات اجتماعی مانع از آن شوند که به دنبال چیزی برویم که واقعاً به آن عشق می‌ورزیم. این بیت به ما یادآوری می‌کند که عشق نیرویی قدرتمند است که می‌تواند ما را به سمت رشد و تکامل سوق دهد.

مولانا

اسمح لما تحبه من أعماق قلبك أن يجذبك نحوه.

هذه الآية الجميلة من مولانا دعوة لمتابعة القلب ورغباتنا الحقيقية. يقول مولانا أنه لا يجب أن نسمح للمخاوف أو أحكام الآخرين أو التحيزات الاجتماعية أن تمنعنا من السعي وراء ما نحبه حقًا. تذكرنا هذه الآية أن الحب قوة قوية يمكن أن تدفعنا نحو النمو والكمال.

Rumi’s quote, “Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love,” is a profound invitation to live authentically, aligning with one’s deepest passions and inner calling. A deep analysis reveals multiple layers of meaning:

1. The Nature of Love as a Guiding Force

Rumi views love not merely as an emotion but as an essential energy that connects individuals to their truest selves and to the divine. The “stronger pull” suggests an irresistible, almost magnetic force that leads to fulfillment. Love here is transformative and expansive, capable of guiding one beyond fear, doubt, or societal expectations.

2. Surrender to Authenticity

The phrase “let yourself be drawn” emphasizes surrender and trust. It calls for letting go of resistance, fears, or artificial constraints. Rumi is urging us to release control and trust the natural alignment with what resonates deeply with our soul. This surrender is not passive but a courageous act of listening and responding to one’s inner truth.

3. Distinguishing True Love from Superficial Desires

Rumi distinguishes between transient desires and enduring loves. The word “truly” is key: it asks us to discern what genuinely aligns with our essence. Superficial attractions may divert attention, but the “stronger pull” of true love—be it for a purpose, a passion, a person, or the divine—has the power to ground and elevate.

4. Purpose and Calling

This quote also points to the idea of a life purpose or calling. Rumi suggests that the things we deeply love are not arbitrary; they are clues to our spiritual or existential path. Aligning with these loves is not selfish but essential for realizing our potential and contributing meaningfully to the world.

5. Interplay of Free Will and Divine Guidance

The interplay of “letting” and “being drawn” highlights the dynamic between free will and divine guidance. Rumi implies that while we have agency, there’s also a higher force at play—a divine pull that leads us toward what is most enriching for our soul.

6. Timeless Wisdom

This wisdom transcends time and culture, resonating with the human experience of yearning for meaning. Whether applied to relationships, careers, or spiritual practices, the advice encourages a shift from external validation to internal resonance.

Practical Reflections:

  • What truly pulls you? Reflecting on this question helps identify passions or purposes that bring joy and meaning.
  • Are you resisting? It encourages examining fears or habits that hinder alignment with your deeper loves.
  • Surrender as growth: Trusting the pull requires courage but can lead to profound personal and spiritual growth.

Rumi’s wisdom, rooted in Sufi philosophy, remains a timeless guide for those seeking alignment with their authentic selves, where love becomes a compass for the journey of life.
