Flower of the Day: 11/23/14
“The
unveiling of love is a phenomenon that occurs on the level of the soul.
It is the revelation of the Being. This unveiling of love is only
possible when we remove the layers that cover up our hearts. Along the
journey, we became attached to these layers, and life’s challenges are
here to help us break with these attachments. As we continue revealing
ourselves, we find that these resistances are made of attachments to
what is transitory: our ideas and beliefs. These are tests that love
uses to examine our faith and commitment to the truth. Only when this
commitment is truly firm can we reach the sacred dwelling place.”
