“What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle”
— Shams Tabrizi
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, the things that cause you pain can actually help you in the long run. Imagine if you burn your hand on a hot stove. It hurts a lot, but you learn not to touch the stove again. This way, the pain ends up being a lesson that keeps you safe. Just like the hot stove, difficult times or problems can teach you important lessons. These challenges might seem dark at first, like when you are lost in a room with no light. But if you find even a small candle, it can help you see your way. So, the tough times are like that candle. They light up new paths for you, showing you where to go and what to do next. By going through hard times and learning from them, you become stronger and wiser. You can use what you learn to make better choices and improve your life.
