Becoming unattached

(Quotations from Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee)

Nuri:
Union with God is separation from all else, and separation from all else is union with Him.
(p. 205)

Bayezid Bistami:
Nothing is better for a man than to be without anything -- having no asceticism, no theory, no practice. When he is without all, he is with all.
(p. 208)
