Why is the journey to the Divine Union such a painful journey? because, in the words of a Persian song,
The ego will not go with laughter and with caresses
But must be chased with sorrow and drowned in tears.
But love is more powerful than all our evasions, than all the walls we have erected around ourselves. "
From Love is a Fire: The Sufi's mystical journey home.
