M2:1939
Kahulugan · به زبانِ تو — Iyong wika · AI
This couplet states a spiritual law: divine help and mercy are naturally drawn to need and suffering, just as water naturally flows to the lowest point.
This couplet serves as a maxim explaining the selfless compassion of the “lion-hearted man” who saves a bear from a dragon. Rumi generalizes the man's action into a universal principle. The first hemistich, “Wherever a pain is found, the remedy goes there,” explains that spiritual helpers (the remedy, dawā) don't need to be summoned; they are intrinsically drawn to the cries of the afflicted (the pain, dard).
The second hemistich provides a physical analogy from nature to make the spiritual law intuitive: “Wherever the ground is low, water runs there.” Just as gravity dictates that water will always find and fill the lowest place, divine mercy (raḥmat) naturally flows toward those who are in a state of need, humility, and 'lowness' (pastī). The hero's rush to save the bear is not a calculated act of charity but an inevitable expression of this spiritual physics. The verses that follow build on this image, urging the reader to become 'low'—that is, humble and receptive—in order to receive the 'water of mercy'.

- A pain, an ache, an affliction, a suffering. In the Sufi context, it often signifies the spiritual anguish of separation from the Divine, which is considered a prerequisite for receiving grace.
- دوا
- A remedy, medicine, or cure. Here it symbolizes divine grace, spiritual guidance, or the compassionate intervention of a saint.
- پستی
- Lowness, a low place. Metaphorically, it signifies humility, neediness, and a state of being empty or receptive, which attracts divine mercy.
- دود
- An archaic or poetic form of 'runs' (from the verb 'davidan', to run). It describes the flowing or rushing of water.
