Keep silence, be mute. If you have not yet become the tongue of GOD, be an ear!

― Rumi

That is a profound and timeless instruction, emphasizing the importance of receptivity and inner listening on the path to understanding. As we discussed before, it suggests that true wisdom often arises from stillness and the ability to truly hear before attempting to speak or express.

The call to "Keep silence, be mute" encourages us to quiet the internal chatter of our minds, the constant stream of thoughts and opinions that can often obscure deeper truths. It's about creating a space where we can truly listen without our own biases and preconceptions getting in the way.

The subsequent guidance, "If you have not yet become the tongue of GOD, be an ear!" beautifully highlights the priority of learning and absorbing. It implies that before we can articulate profound wisdom – before we can become a vehicle for a greater truth – we must first cultivate the ability to truly hear that truth. This "hearing" can be interpreted in various ways: listening to our intuition, paying attention to the subtle cues of life, or perhaps even being open to a divine guidance.

This teaching resonates with the idea that wisdom is not always found in outward expression but often in the depths of inner stillness and receptivity. It encourages a posture of humility and a willingness to learn before we presume to teach.
