“Free will exists so free will can be given up freely. Such a person feels
no genuine delight if he or she is not drained empty. With all the delicious food and drink
in the world, true pleasure comes only with the extinction of pleasure and its replacement by
soul delight.
Those who have gone through fana into baqa, through annihilation into
that which has always been, become all body and all consciousness. With dissolving
begins some overwhelming joy.”
