Diamonds in the Ruff

 

The phrase, one is a diamond in the ruff, can refer to a few things: it's an idiom describing someone with potential but lacking polish or refinement, like an uncut diamond.

The dull and irregular diamond in the ruff does not shine and twinkles like the cut and polished stone.

From the psychological perspective it refers to individuals who have inherent potential, but may not yet be refined in their behavior and social skills. 

The uncut Gem is missing the focus on Values covered by an ego-ideal not seeing the real value underneath.

 In a spiritual context it refers to the idea that God sees potential in everyone, only to encourage personal development to establish emotional intelligence and spiritual maturity.

It emphasizes that individuals possess hidden talents, strengths, and qualities that are not apparent to themselves.

The Vedic birth-chart is called the Diamond chart and where the planets determine their facets, polishing is needed. 

The journey of the becoming is the engaging in self-reflection and where the true ego is born from the ashes of the false.

The hero who embraces his imperfections and holds the words to enlighten the soul through darkness are the precious stones that twinkle.

To recognize once inherent virtues in faith and perseverance are the matters of the spirit?

The phrase of diamonds are the girls best friend, are the immature qualities of feminine adoration in commercial values, not understanding that the diamond and its eternal love symbol is nothing comparing to the love as virtue that can break all obstacles on one’s path in life.

As one does not know the value of a diamond in the ruff, it is like before one can know the truth, one must learn or polish a life to live in truth. The lives of kindled souls are scriptures and diamonds of a thousand carats of love, beyond price, polished in faith that reaches what all reasons failed to touch.

Diamonds symbolically valued as love are the manifesto in tolerance and forgiveness and the shinning armors to protect and heal the wounds of the heart.

The diamond perspective comes not from self-realization to realize God; it is by God-realization that one realizes the self.
