Love is Emptiness
 
Go and sweep away the shadows from your Heart.
Make it ready for Love.
When you depart, the Bride will enter.
In that Emptiness, She will display the Beauty of all her Splendors.
(Mahmud Shabistari (b.1250); Translated by Imam Bilal Hyde, Albany California, August 25, 2020)
"Every rust has a polish; the polish for the heart is dhikr Allah.
"When the nafs departs (emptying your breath, negativity), the bride will enter, Allah fills you up, expanding in joy. 
Out-breath is emptying, fana'; in-breath is baqa'.
Emptying the heart of everything but Allah, La ilaha illAllah, love enters when its empty, everything emptied but Allah.
