A lover asked his beloved,Do you love yourself morethan you love me?The beloved replied,I have died to myselfand I live for you.I've disappeared from myselfand my attributes.I am present only for you.I have forgotten all my learning,but from knowing youI have become a scholar.I have lost all my strength,but from your powerI am able.If I love myselfI love you.If I love youI love myself.(Jalaluddin Rumi)
