If you feel hurt from the lines you read, it means that you see
yourself. You suddenly understand that your heart and spirit are
very sweet and loving boons! You will find a nightingale caged in
your heart! Thus you will start to share your grief. It is called like
self-consciousness!
Navoi, conduct yourself, a man in the world should keep the right,
If it’s fi xed to be hard - be hard, if it’s fi xed to be light - be light,
writes he again. I made this bayt like a stick to my spirit. I try
to support my interlocutors with explanation of these lines. The
solution of all poverty is on the hand of the Creator. Make risk
to God and ask for aid with hope! Try to work hopefully. “If it’s
fixed to be hard - be hard”, “if you trust in God, he will make your
life easy. “ If it’s fixed to be light - be light” If you are not patient
and ungrateful, easy works will become difficult. It is like a saying
“weeping brings weeping” or “the world is too small to impatient
and wide to wide-hearted”.
Be like bloody bud, my soul, be able, in the grief, to smile.
If I have such a great power, the world’s problems are too easy
to solve, I say to myself. To smile with grievous heart is named
like WILL and PATIENCE. However, to be strong-willed and
patient is not beauty or peculiarity, it is DUTY. Because, you feel
hurt with God’s will. Your sorrowfulness is fruit of your doings.
Accept Allah’s response with open face, perhaps, this punishment
is not so difficult because of the Creator’s generosity. If you accept
not with gratefulness, you may occur to worse punishment further.
A line of Holy Koran runs in this way: “I like people who are
patient in case of misfortunes”. “ Be like a bloody bud, my soul,
be able, in the grief, to smile” is beautiful interpretation of abovementioned
action.
