The truth lies beyond the realm of words from "summary" of Open Secret by Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī (Maulana)
The truth that we seek cannot be fully captured by mere words. It exists beyond the limitations of language, beyond the realm of what can be articulated. Words can only point us in the direction of the truth, but they can never fully encapsulate it. When we try to express deep truths with words, we inevitably fall short. Language is a powerful tool, but it is ultimately limited in its ability to convey the profound depths of reality. The truth is something that must be experienced, felt, and understood on a level that transcends language. In our attempts to grasp the truth through words, we often find ourselves tangled in confusion and misunderstanding. We mistake the map for the territory, believing that the words we use to describe reality are reality itself. But the truth is far more elusive and mysterious than anything that can be captured by language. Rumi reminds us that the truth is not something that can be contained or confined by words. It is vast and infinite, beyond the reach of our linguistic constructs. To truly understand the truth, we must go beyond the limitations of language and open ourselves to a deeper, more intuitive knowing. In our quest for truth, we must be willing to let go of our attachment to words and concepts. We must be open to the possibility that the truth may lie beyond the realm of what can be expressed in language. Only then can we begin to glimpse the profound mysteries that lie at the heart of existence.
