Oneness

"Visit the water once a week" is not the ration for fish, since they feel no spiritual joy without the Sea.
To the lover, one moment of separation is as a year; to that one a whole year's uninterrupted union is as a fleeting fancy.
Never for one instant do lovers cease from seeking; never for one moment do they cease from pursuing each other.
In the heart of the Beloved, the lover is all.
That of which I speak is not the sort of oneness that reason apprehends: the apprehension of this oneness depends on a person dying to oneself.
God gives us that which no eye has beheld, that which is not comprehensible to any tongue or language.
Who are we to aspire to this?"

Rumi (Vol.6 2672-2703)

Commentary: Love can not be explained, described, or understood. What we need to do is to want it, and then, we are told, we will someday know.
