[Sunlight] Love God for something other than Him

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love God for something other than Him, in order
to be at all time part of His bounty;

O love God for Himself, for nothing else than Himself,
for fear of being estranged from Him.

Both quests and searches come from that same Source
where His heart ravishes hearts.

-- Mathnawi III, 4598-4600
