Summary

This quote by Rumi highlights the subjective nature of truth. According to him, truth was once whole and perfect but shattered when it fell into the world. Each individual then picked up a piece of truth, and from their limited perspective, believed they possessed the complete truth. It serves as a reminder that our understanding of truth is often fragmented and influenced by our own interpretations and experiences, emphasizing the need for humility and openness to different perspectives in the pursuit of a more comprehensive understanding of truth.
