Quote by Abu Hamid AlGhazzali

Are you ready to cut off your head and place your foot on it? If so, come; Love awaits you! Love is not grown in a garden, nor sold in the marketplace; whether you are a king or a servant, the price is your head, and nothing less. Yes, the cost of the elixir of love is your head! Do you hesitate? 0 miser, It is cheap at that price!

Are you ready to cut off your head and place your foot on it

Summary

The metaphor of cutting off one's head and placing their foot on it symbolizes the complete surrender of the self to love. It emphasizes that love cannot be attained through mere physical efforts or worldly possessions; rather, it requires the sacrifice of one's ego and attachment to worldly desires.
