Love is the astrolabe of God's mysteries. A lover may be drawn to this lover or that love, but finally he is drawn to the Sultan of love. However much we describe and explain love, when we fall in love we are ashamed of our words. Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, but love unexplained is clearer.
When the pen came to the subject of love, it broke. When the discourse reached the topic of love, the pen split and the paper tore. If intellect tries to explain it, it falls helpless as a donkey on a muddy train; only Love itself can explain love and lovers! The proof of the sun is the sun itself. If you wish to see it, don't turn away from it.
