‘My’ Love

2 minute read

My love does not, in fact, belong to me... It is given to me, and for this I thank Heaven, even though at times I do not have the strength to struggle with my whole soul. This is the consequence of being human, for it is in our nature not to understand the divine through thought.

To understand the divine, we must be given Grace, which manifests only through the heart and through what we feel. Then we come to understand the reflection of the divine in existence. This is why I say that love is given to us. We cannot find or understand it through thought, no matter how much we desire to do so.

I see and feel my love wherever I go and wherever I look, everywhere in existence. Before, the image of the person in existence was not one with the experience, but only its reflection in my heart. Now it has become one with the experience, with the love I feel. To me, this means that she is my soulmate, who, whatever I do and whatever she does, will not disappear from my experience or my heart. This is why I say that she is my spiritual 'master'. No matter how much harm or suffering her actions seem to have caused, she could have done nothing had it not been allowed by God. However much thought tries to distort and demystify our spiritual path, we can all choose to be upon the 'Path'. That step can begin with something difficult to accept: love is divine. It is given by God to free the soul and allow us to taste God's existence, God's 'blood'.

'My' love is the very existence of infinite and absolute love. Only in this way can we raise love between a man and a woman to the divine level and bring continual happiness, the heaven of which we dream, into our lives: by understanding the reflection of absolute and infinite love within this human love that no longer holds value for most of us.

We can thereby awaken the soul and make our lives a continual prayer and praise of God, because moment by moment we live within our lives the very existence and essence of the world in which we live... 'my' Love.
