I desire not to desire, for my will is without value, since I am ignorant in any case. Therefore choose Thou for me what Thou knowest to be best and do not put my perdition in what my autonomy and free choice prefer. -- Bayazid Al-Bistami
This sounds so good...so right.
I've never heard of the man (or woman?), so I don't know if s/he got there. I know I never expect to get there, but I, too, can desire not to desire...can feel good that I know this is good and right.
Thank you.
