The mystic's concern with death
results from his concern for love.
The paradox that in a love-relationship,
a letting go, a surrender,
a 'death' to the self-contained,
autonomous ego-self
is indispensable is a fact
of experience which
any lover knows,
who has tasted something
of the riches of friendship.
