"My only suffering from this day forth will be your divine beauty."
~St. John of the Cross
"The Love that You are worthy of is your tearing of my veils so that I can see You."
~Rabi'a
See, in the path of love there is no East or West, no Christian or Muslim: just 700 billion kinds of surrender.
Angels are created in the state of surrender. But humans pass through many lives of anxiety and regret, yearning and sorrow, before surrender happens, by grace. And this is why surrender in a human being is ten thousand times more full of wonder and gratitude.
