Water said to the defiled, "Hurry come to me." The defiled replied, "But I feel ashamed before the water." Water said, "But without me how will you wash your shame? How will your filth be removed?"

- Rumi, "Mathnawi"

moral: Shame hinders the faith of the tainted who hide from the water. if we will feel shy to ask Allah's forgiveness due to our sins, how we will be purified? how we will come near to Allah?
