Hidden Inside | Rumi Poem

This poem by Rumi takes us on a quiet journey inside. Through images of nature and simple moments, it gently shows how the hidden energies within us, when gently guided, transform into something sacred. Each line is an invitation to trust the subtle unfolding inside, where love, grace, and transformation quietly awaken.

Mawlana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi, popularly known as "Rumi", is a 13th-century Sufi poet. Today, he is recognised as one of the greatest poets who ever lived, due in part to how his words seem to speak to the Divine.

Transcript

Hiding is the hidden purpose of creation. Bury your seed and wait. After you die, All the thoughts you had will throng around like children. The heart is the secret inside the secret. Call the secret language and never be sure what you conceal. It's unsure people who get the blessing. Climbing jasmine, Opening rose, Nightingale song, These are inside the chill November wind. They are its secret. How did you discover mine? Your laugh. Only the soul knows what love is. This moment in time and space is an eggshell with an embryo crumpled inside, Soaked in spirit yolk, Under the wing of grace until it breaks free of mind to become the song of birds and their breathing.
