and gives away each instant, free.
Unlike someone who begs on the street for money to survive,
a dervish begs to give you his life.

This is my favorite line of his. I will note that what he is describing here is enlightened selfishness. We can all only be selfish. Even masochism is a type of selfishness. The universe is what it is, and we are what we are.
And this is fine.
