Not What I Meant At All It could happen anywhere, but it was worst at devotionals. I would hear a statement to the effect of "You must love only God," "God's love surpasses even the love of women," or "Even if you were to meet the most beautiful woman on earth you must not be seduced in your heart" -- to all of which I would say, "Truly I am bereft of God's love."

And why speak of death? For then I may eternal lie; To wait in blissful thought Till, inshallah, death lay down, And himself even die.As Yet Untitled
