[Tariqas] The Sufi Path of Love

[IrvingK57@aol.com]

"Know, O darvish, that love is the foundation and principle of the way  
to God, and that all states and stations are stages of love, which is  
not destructible so long as the path itself remains in existence.
Do not ask for explanations. Love cannot be explained. The  
explanation of love is not love, for love is beyond mere words. 
Indeed,  if the whole world wished to attract love, they could not, and 
if they made  the utmost effort to repel it, they could not. For love 
is a divine gift. It  cannot be acquired, nor can it be fought."
