' Ego Annihilation '...

Dear heart, where do you find the courage to seek the Beloved when you know He has annihilated so many like you before? I do not care, said my heart, my only wish is to become one with the Beloved. - Rumi ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` "Rumi - Whispers of the Beloved" Selected and translated by Azima Melita Kolin and Maryam Mafi Thorsons, London 1999
