One went to the door of the Beloved and knocked.In real love, there is no duality. There is just oneness with everyone and everything. That is the ultimate stage of love.
A voice asked, ‘Who is there?’
He answered, ‘It is I.’
The voice said, ‘There is no room for Me and Thee.’
The door was shut.
After a year of solitude and deprivation he returned and knocked.
A voice from within asked, ‘Who is there?’
The man said, ‘It is Thee.’
The door was opened for him.
