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

This quote, attributed to the 13th-century Sufi poet Rumi, conveys a profound message about the transformative power of love. It challenges individuals to fully surrender their ego and embrace love unconditionally, regardless of their social status or position in society. 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.

Computer science only indicates the retrospective omnipotence of our technologies. In other words, an infinite capacity to process data (but only data -- i.e. the already given) and in no sense a new vision. With that science, we are entering an era of exhaustivity, which is also an era of exhaustion.
