DESIRE NOT TO DESIRE, II

[The following is a slightly reworked reprint from my post of April 1, 2012, and I am grateful it still fits me.]

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 person I quote so I don't know if s/he got there. I do know, though I never expect to perfectly get there, that I have a good feeling within that I can desire not to desire. 

Feeling good within is what I call getting a hug from God...that I know is good and right.

Thank you.
