Love is the flame which, when it blazes, consumes everything other than the Beloved.
The lover wields the sword of Nothingness in order to dispatch all but God:
consider what remains after Nothing.
There remains but God: all the rest is gone.
Praise to you, O mighty Love, destroyer of all other "gods."
-Rumi, Mathnawi [V, 588-590]
