Rumi quote

If you don't have wings to fly to the Ka'ba of Grace,

Show your powerlessness and helplessness to the Reliever.

Cries and groans are a powerful means,

And they are filled with the All-Merciful, Compassionate Nurse.

The nurse and the mother keep waiting their child's crying to feed.

In you too has God created infant needs;

So that milk is brought to them, when they cry out;

God said, "Call on me;"

Keep on crying and groaning,

So that the milk of Love and Compassion may overflow!
