“Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being”
— Rumi
Simplified Meaning:
When everything around you feels chaotic or stressful, taking a moment to relax and calm down can help you see things more clearly. Imagine a pond: when the water is churned up and moving, you can’t see your reflection. But if you wait until it’s still, you can see yourself and the sky above clearly in the water. This is similar to your mind. When you're stressed, it's hard to understand your thoughts and emotions. However, if you take time to breathe and let your mind settle, you can better understand yourself and find peace. For instance, when you're upset about a problem at work, taking a walk or meditating can help you come back with a fresh perspective and better solutions. This approach can help you lead a more balanced and thoughtful life.
