Acharya Prashant explains a teaching by Rumi regarding the spiritual journey, emphasizing that advice must be understood in the context of one's current stage of growth. He discusses the metaphor of a 'closed pot' or an 'unripe fruit,' noting that a seeker in the early stages of practice needs protection and silence to allow their inner strength to solidify. During this interim phase, one is advised to keep their lips sealed and avoid engaging with the world to prevent their 'pot' from being broken by those hostile to the truth. However, Acharya Prashant clarifies that this instruction is not a permanent rule for everyone. He points out that Rumi himself did not remain silent but sang and danced throughout his life. He asserts that once the fruit is ripe, it must fall and spread its seeds rather than remaining attached to the tree, as staying too long would lead to decay. For those who have reached maturity in their practice, the time for silence is over; they are encouraged to sing their songs and share their realization without fear of the world's stones or criticisms. He concludes that while silence is for the incomplete, those who have attained fulfillment should let their voices flow and become the source for new growth in others.
