Quatrain 105 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
Seek the knowledge that will unravel your knots,
Before life leaves your body.
Don't seek what appears to be; let it go.
Seek what appears not to be.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Quest for Knowledge: The poet urges us to seek knowledge, specifically the kind that can solve our problems and free us from our troubles.
The Imminence of Death: The phrase "before life leaves your body" reminds us of the impermanence of life and the importance of seeking knowledge while we still have time.
Beyond Appearances: The poet advises us to look beyond the superficial, the apparent reality. True knowledge lies in understanding what is not immediately visible.
