Lebell -- very Sufi. Some Sufi thinkers say you can't know God unless you've been in love -- that the relationship with God is all about being in love, from both sides.

Some Sufis tend to be bliss-out types, literally drunk on God. But the more mature believer, to quote somebody roughly, lives in the everyday world, marries, buys and sells in the marketplace -- and never takes his eyes off God for a single moment.
