“The Heart Acts as Translator” (Rumi)

I went inside my heart to see how it was. Something there makes me hear the whole world weeping.

Then I went to every city and small town, searching for someone who could speak wisdom, but everyone was complaining about love.

That moaning gave me an idea. Go back inside and find the answer. But I found nothing.

The heart acts as a translator

between mystical experience and intelligence.

It has its own inhabitants

who do not talk with someone just wandering through.

And remember. Muhammad said of the place

in human beings that we call the heart, This is what I value.
