Perfection
2. The Way of Devotion
The next way is that of devotion, which is for true lovers.
Rumi says, "Man may be the lover of man or the lover of God; after his perfection in either he is taken before the King of love."
Devotion is the heavenly wine, which intoxicates the devotee until his heart becomes purified from all infirmities and there remains the happy vision of the Beloved, which lasts to the end of the journey.
"Death is a bridge, which unites friend to friend" (Sayings of Mohammed).
