One sip of this wine and you will go mad with drunkenness. You will drop your masks and tear your clothes – destroying everything that separates you from the Lover. Once you taste the fruit of this vine, you will be kicked out of the city of yourself. You will forget the world. You will forget yourself. I tell you: you will become a madman who wanders the streets looking for the Lover once you drink this Wine of Love. Kamand Kojouri
About This Quote

The above quote is from a work by Rumi, but it goes beyond Rumi. The love described by Rumi is the love of God. It's the love that comes to each one of us when we recognize our spiritual nature and embrace it. It's the love that makes us want to bring goodness and beauty to the world, to help others, and to take care of our own spiritual well-being. The experience of loving God is a transforming experience, a spiritual experience that changes our world and us.
