Rumi says that Divine Love is the root of all obedience; all else is mere adornment. If you do not sacrifice, how can you gain your heart’s desire? Giving up everything leads to annihilation, the source of all pleasures where no separation exists.
To be wholly without desire - that is not a natural desire, since a person must empty themselves and cease to be. But to allow not even an itch of desire to enter the heart—that is not within the scope of anyone. Only God’s love can take that out.
