M3:4443 — بی‌مرادان بر مرادی می‌تنند / و آن مرادان جذب ایشان می‌کنند

Rumi, in this section, is elucidating the fundamental principle of attraction that governs all existence, from the inanimate to the human soul. He has just described how the body inclines towards gardens and running water because its origin is from them, and how the soul yearns for life, wisdom, and honor because its origin is the placeless realm of spirit. This couplet, M3:4443, generalizes this principle: everything that is 'un-desired' (بی‌مرادان), meaning lacking or incomplete, gravitates towards a 'desired' (مرادی) state or object, which represents its completion or source. Conversely, those 'desired' states or objects actively 'draw them in' (جذب ایشان می‌کنند). It's a reciprocal pull, a cosmic magnetism. The 'un-desired' are not merely passive seekers; they are drawn by an inherent pull, while the 'desired' actively exert an attractive force. This applies to all levels of being, from physical elements seeking their natural place to the soul's yearning for its divine origin. It sets the stage for the subsequent lines, which differentiate between the 'thinning' love of the seeker and the 'beautifying' love of the sought, hinting at the profound spiritual attraction between the human soul and the Divine.
