Rumi ruminations 1: Know only that which makes the unknown known



"Know only that
 Which makes the unknown known
Before the sands of 
Fleeting life are blown 
What you think you 've
Grasped is but a void 
The bird in hand is that 
One which has flown.


-Maulana Rumi ( R.A.) 
Translation by Farrukh Dhondhy.



Which means that, " It is futile to pursue things in their normal form or apparent form, which we will never be able to grasp. We need to find new ways of looking at things.Therefore, before we pass away, we have to find unknown, undiscovered,  probably mystical ways of looking at things." 
( My interpretation)
