The greatest thing that each of us will ever achieve is simply to love and be loved in return. It is compassion that brings us the opportunity to love, therefore if you wish to take the path towards love, it is necessary to know the nature of compassion. Compassion is not love, though the two are sometimes confused. Compassion is the absolute kindness of wisdom that knows the essence of all suffering, whereas love is the joy of life, just as it is. The power of compassion transforms fear. To know compassion requires the release of blame, including self-blame. When you release blame, you make a leap of inner trust and your heart opens, allowing you to know your true nature, which loves without fear or insecurity.
When you face troubles in life, remember that you are simply being initiated into the mysteries of love. Face your troubles calmly and with love each and every mystery will reveal itself.
When it comes to the time for us to die, the only thing that we shall be judged on is how we loved and why. When, in the innermost part of your heart, there live words of endless love that are sweet and strong, like the fragrance of rare flowers, you shall pause and know why you are here in this life. In that movement you will know this truth: real love is beyond falling in love with anyone or anything. It is a miracle and capable of creating miracles. Love is that path by which we shall return to our higher selves.
