A Couplet On Love, By Rumi
“There is no Love greater than Love with no object.
For then you, yourself, have become love, itself.”

This would be the purest love.
It will usually seem unrequited.
while being most requited.
The lover will feel alone and lonely
while having everything--
which is no thing.
Love of God is love of no thing.
Mystics deny thingness to God
or God withholds his thingness from them.
So the loneliness is sweet
and the aloneness is perfection.
For then you, yourself, have become love, itself.”
