It is said that a Qazi and a pandit asked the Guru how man could find God and be blended with Him. The following was the reply:—
All are wives of the Spouse and adorn themselves for Him.

Love is not obtained by hypocrisy; counterfeit gilding degradeth.
In this way God the Spouse shall enjoy the wife.
The good wife is pleasing to Thee, O Lord; of Thy favour Thou decoratest her.- ↑ Literally—to be counted by Him.
