Devotion
The path of unconditional love requires surrender without conditions or questions. A devotional song illustrates this: to cross the ocean, you must become the leather of my shoes, and I will walk in them. Until love is present, you cannot understand this; when love is there, everything is beautiful. There is no 'why' or 'how,' only complete oneness. The street of love is so narrow that two cannot walk; two must become one. This is a state where individual presence is surrendered for unity.
"If you wish to sell me, I must be ready to be sold."
"When I was here, he was not here. And now he is here, but I am not here."
