Quatrain 144 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
He who thought his heart was the inner being,
Took a few steps and thought he had achieved everything.
The rosary, prayer mat, repentance, asceticism, and piety,
He thought this entire path was the destination.
Analysis of the Quatrains
Misconception of the Heart: The first line refers to those who believe that their heart is the ultimate reality or the destination of their spiritual journey.
Shallow Understanding: The second line suggests that such individuals have a superficial understanding of spirituality and believe that they have achieved enlightenment or perfection simply by engaging in outward religious practices.
The Limitations of External Practices: The third line lists various religious practices, suggesting that while these practices can be helpful, they are not the ultimate goal.
The True Destination: The final line implies that there is a deeper reality or destination beyond these external practices.
