Quieting the mind

"The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear."

- Rumi

This quote from Rumi speaks to the power of inner stillness and deep listening. It suggests that by quieting the noise of our minds—our thoughts, fears, and distractions—we become more receptive to truth, wisdom, and the subtleties of existence. In silence, we can hear not just external sounds but the voice of intuition, the rhythms of the universe, and the deeper aspects of our own soul. This idea aligns with spiritual traditions that emphasize meditation, contemplation, and surrender as paths to deeper understanding. Rumi’s words remind us that true perception does not come from speaking or analyzing but from attuning ourselves to the present moment with openness and humility.
