M1:1079 — وانک پایش در ره کوشش شکست / دررسید او را بُراق و بر نشست

This couplet marks a pivotal turn in Rumi's argument against lazy fatalism (jabr). The preceding verses condemn those who give up prematurely and blame destiny for their lack of progress. Here, Rumi presents the proper relationship between human effort and divine aid.

The key image is of a traveler on the spiritual path whose foot is "broken"—not from laziness, but from the intensity of their striving (kūshish). This is the point of utter exhaustion and surrender, where personal will can do no more. It is precisely at this moment of sincere, effort-induced helplessness that divine assistance arrives. Rumi invokes the powerful image of Buraq, the celestial steed that carried the Prophet Muhammad on his Night Journey (Miʿrāj). Just as Buraq appeared when the Prophet reached the limits of earthly travel, so too does a heavenly vehicle arrive for the seeker who has given their all.

The couplet thus reframes the concept of divine intervention. It is not a substitute for human effort, but its reward and consummation. Grace doesn't carry the idle; it elevates the one who has walked until they can walk no more. The verses that follow elaborate on this transformation: the one who was a carrier of the religion becomes carried by it (ḥāmil becomes maḥmūl), moving from active effort to graced reception.

這句詩是魯米對「奮鬥」（kushish）與「神恩」之間關係的核心論述。它緊隨在對消極宿命論（jabr）的批判之後。魯米反駁那些因懶惰而放棄努力、將一切歸咎於命運的人。他說，只有那些真正在「奮進之路」上拼盡全力，以至於「折斷了腿」——也就是說，耗盡了所有個人力量、智謀和意志，達到了人類努力極限的人——才有資格體驗到神聖的介入。

「折斷腿」並非字面意思，而是一個強烈的隱喻，象徵著個人能力的徹底窮盡和自我的破碎。正是在這個看似失敗和無助的時刻，轉機出現了。「布拉克」（Buraq）神駒的到來，直接引用了先知穆罕默德夜行登霄（Mi'raj）的典故。布拉克是天界的坐騎，能以超乎想像的速度載著先知超越時空。在這裡，它象徵著來自真主的、非人力所能企及的神聖吸引力與恩典（jadhba）。

因此，這句詩描繪了一個靈性轉化的關鍵節點：行者從依靠自身努力的主動追尋者（h حامل دین，宗教的承擔者），轉變為被神聖恩典承載的被動承受者（محمول，被承載者）。他的奮鬥為神恩的降臨創造了條件，但最終的飛躍，則完全是恩典的作為。這不是對努力的否定，而是將其置於正確的位置：努力是必要的，但它本身不是終點，而是通往更高恩典的門檻。

Este verso contrasta directamente con los anteriores, que critican a quienes usan la pereza como excusa y luego culpan al destino (jabr). Rumi presenta aquí la imagen opuesta: el buscador sincero que se entrega al esfuerzo (kūshish) con tal intensidad que «se quiebra el pie», es decir, agota por completo su capacidad y voluntad personal.

Es precisamente en este punto de quiebre, cuando el yo se rinde tras haberlo dado todo, que interviene la gracia divina. La llegada del Burāq, la montura celestial que transportó al Profeta Mahoma durante su Ascensión Nocturna (Miʿrāj), simboliza esta ayuda sobrenatural. Ya no avanza por su propio pie; ahora es transportado (maḥmūl) por un poder superior. El esfuerzo humano sincero es la condición necesaria para que se manifieste el auxilio divino que lleva al alma a estados que nunca podría alcanzar por sí misma.
