~ Do You Love Me? A lover asked his beloved, Do you love yourself more than you love me? The beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you. Ive disappeared from myself and my attributes. I am present only for you. I have forgotten all my learning, but from knowing you I have become a scholar. I have lost all my strength, but from your power I am able. If I love myself I love you. If I love you I love myself.
