' It Is Thou '...

“There came one and knocked at the door of the Beloved.. And a voice answered and said, 'Who is there?' The lover replied,, 'It is I.'.. 'Go hence,,' returned the voice;.. 'there is no room within for thee and me.'.. Then came the lover a second time and knocked and again the voice demanded,, 'Who is there?'.. He answered,, 'It is thou.'.. 'Enter,,' said the Voice,, 'for I am Within.” ..................... Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Way of the Sufi
