Quatrain 81 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
Today, as every day, we are ruined, ruined.
Do not open the door of thought, but pick up the reed flute.
There are a hundred kinds of prayer, bowing, and prostration,
For the one whose heart is the prayer niche of the Beloved's beauty.
Analysis of the Quatrains

Abandoning Thought: The poet suggests that intellectual pursuits are not the path to true spiritual understanding.
Diverse Forms of Worship: The "hundred kinds of prayer" refer to various forms of worship and spiritual practices.
The Heart as a Sanctuary: The "prayer niche" symbolizes the heart as the place where one encounters the divine.
