"Este lugar es un sueño. Solo un durmiente lo considera real. Luego llega la muerte como el amanecer, y te despiertas riéndote de lo que creías que era tu pena."
— Rumi

Simplified Meaning:
This quote suggests that the world we live in is like a dream. When people believe that everything they see and feel here is the only reality, they are like sleepers who think the dream is real. When someone dies, it's like waking up from a dream at sunrise. They realize that the things they worried about and felt sad about were not as serious as they thought. For example, imagine someone who fears losing their job. They spend so much time stressing about it, but once they find a new, better opportunity, they look back and laugh at how worried they were. This quote invites us to see life’s troubles as temporary and encourages us to let go of our fears, trusting that better understanding and peace will come eventually.
