Quatrain 139 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
That abstract love was galloping towards the desert.
My heart recognized it from its dust and carpets.
It said to itself, 'Since I've broken free from form,'
I'll lose many loves by loving with form.
Analysis of the Quatrains
Abstract Love: This refers to a pure, unconditioned love that is not tied to physical forms or earthly attachments.
The Heart's Recognition: The poet's heart, being spiritually attuned, recognizes this abstract love even in its simplest manifestations.
Breaking Free from Form: The abstract love has transcended physical limitations and is free to explore a higher realm.
The Loss of Earthly Loves: By pursuing this higher form of love, the poet recognizes that they may lose the attachments and loves associated with the material world.
