i have a habit..every few weeks i take a day off from work and go do a morning hatha yoga session as a student...i find it so refreshing...will always remain a student even if i do teach asanas...
anyway, this morning, the instructor who is a good friend also,read a quote by Rumi that profoundly touched me ...my eyes stayed wet for around 15 minutes...felt a big opening...was doing the class with wet eyes...loll
i googled the quote but i did not find it...anyway it is something like this:
did not you notice that water only runs where the land is low?
so be low...and let the water run...let the water fill every empty hole
then drink...drink from this water till satiety

ps: i was not sure where to post this thread...if moderators want to move it for better placement please do so

my friend instructor emailed today the exact poem

Make yourself low

Loving-kindness is drawn to the saint as medicine is drawn to the pain it must cure
Where there is pain, the remedy follows: wherever the lowlands are the water goes
If you want the water of mercy make your self low
Then drink the wine of mercy and be drunk
Mercy upon mercy rises to your head like a flood
Don't settle on a single mercy O son, bring the sky beneath your feet
And listen to celestial music every where
