Quatrain 28 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
This fast, like a sieve, will sift the soul,
Revealing the hidden scrap.
A soul that gazes fixedly at the moon's radiance,
Without a veil, will receive the light of Saturn.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Fast as a Sieve: The fast, or spiritual fasting, is likened to a sieve that filters out impurities, revealing the soul's true nature.
The Hidden Scrap: This could refer to hidden desires, attachments, or impurities within the soul.
Gazing at the Moon: Gazing at the moon is often a symbol of spiritual contemplation and seeking enlightenment.
Receiving the Light of Saturn: Saturn, in many ancient cultures, was associated with wisdom, time, and the cosmos. Receiving its light suggests gaining cosmic knowledge or spiritual enlightenment.
