A Hundred Thousand Veils

"Know, O beloved, that the world of the command is without direction:
No created being is unconnected with God: that connection is indescribable.
Because in the spirit there is no separating and uniting, while our thought cannot think, except of separating and uniting.
Pursue that which is without separation and union, by the aid of a spiritual guide; but the pursuit will not allay your thirst.
Still, pursue incessantly, if your are far from the Source...
On the way to God there are a hundred veils.
When the one that beholds the the wonders of God, abandons pride and egotism from contemplating God's work, he will know his proper station, and will be silent concerning the Maker.
Therefore, be dumbfounded, without yea, or nay, in order that a litter may come from the Divine Mercy, to carry you.
Be then, only dumbfounded, and distraught, nothing else; that God's aid may come in from before and behind.
When you have become dumbfounded and crazed and annihilated, you have said with mute eloquence, "Lead me."
The mighty shape of God is for terrifying the unbeliever; when you become helpless, God's form is mercy and kindness."

Rumi (Vol.4, 3693-3754)

Commentary: Being "dumbfounded, crazed, distraught and annihilated"; finally a spiritual assignment that is do-able!
