Significado
Persistence in searching or striving will eventually lead to discovery or success.
Contexto cultural
The proverb is a distillation of Rumi's philosophy that the 'pain of seeking' is actually the 'joy of finding' in disguise. This phrase is often written on the walls of schools in Iran to encourage students to never give up on their studies. The proverb is equally popular in Afghanistan and Tajikistan, showing the shared heritage of the Persian-speaking world. In Sufism, the 'Juyande' is the 'Salik' (traveler) on the path to God. The proverb promises that the path always leads to the destination.
Use it for 'The Big Win'
Save this for moments that actually required grit. Using it for finding your car keys in 5 seconds sounds sarcastic.
The 'Bud' vs 'Ast' Trap
If you are writing an essay, always use 'bud'. If you are texting a friend, 'ast' is fine.
