Here are some lines from another one of Daniel Ladinsky's translations of Hafiz...in the book 'I Heard God Laughing' - one of my most favorite books:
SKINNING YOUR KNEES ON GOD
Little by little,
You will turn into stars.
Even then, my dear,
You will only be
A crawling infant,
Still skinning your knees on God.
*****************
When your soul begins
To Ever bloom and laugh
And spin in Eternal Ecstasy--
O little by little,
You will turn into God.
- HAFIZ, by Daniel Ladinsky
Adding to Hafiz... we already HAVE godhood in us -- all we need to do is to remember that, and lift the veils of fear and simply OWN who we are...
Bowing to the Divine in you,
Kiki ;-)
