Hungrier, and Thirstier

"Whatsoever grew, has grown for the sake of the needy, in order that the seeker may find the thing he sought.
If God on high has created the heavens, God has created them for the purpose of answering our needs.
Wherever a pain is,the cure goes there; wherever a poverty is, the provision goes there.
Wherever a difficult question is, the answer goes there; wherever a ship is, the water is nearby.
Do not seek the water; seek thirst, so that the water may gush forth from above and below.
Until the tender throated baby is born,, how should the milk for the babe begin to flow from the mother's breast?
Go, run in these hills and dales, to the end that you may become thirsty and hot...
Someone asked, "What is Sufism?" The saint answered, "To feel joy in the heart at the coming of sorrow."

Rumi (Vol. 3 from 3208-3261)

Commentary: Rumi offers a most expansive world view, where our questions, and thirst and hunger are all signs of blessing. Not even the coming of sorrow, can disturb this joy.
