MASNAVI III:4581-3;4590-600

Every Blind wayfarer, whether righteous or wicked,
God is dragging, bound in chains, into His presence.
All are dragged along this way reluctantly, save those
Who are acquainted with the mysteries of divine action.
The command “Come against your will” is addresses to the blind follower; “Come willingly” is for the man molded of truth.
While the former, like an infant, loves the nurse for the sake of milk, the other has given his heart away to this Veiled One.
The “infant” has no knowledge of her beauty: he wants nothing of her except milk;
The real lover of the Nurse is disinterested, single minded in pure devotion
Whether God’s seeker loves Him for something other than He, that he may continually partake of His bounty,
Or whether he loves God for His Very Self, for naught besides Him, lest he be separated from Him, In either case the search proceeds from that Source: the heart is made captive by that Heart-ravisher.
