Love - how to prepare oneself to taste it

06/26/2005

You catch sight of a certain man or woman, and without knowing why, you are immediately charmed, moved, and you attempt to approach this person. This is very natural, for the attraction you feel for another is something beyond your control. But you must realize that this kind of spontaneous sympathy does not mean you have really found love. With a few rare exceptions, the choice of a person with whom you could build something truly harmonious and stable requires a good deal of time and reflection. So what can you do in the meantime? In order to prepare yourself to taste real love some day, you must begin by re-establishing your bond with the divine world, because it is this bond which lends true flavour to things, and even to love. When you have renewed this contact, you will feel waves of the finest energy passing through you. Only the presence of these divine energies can impart an exquisite flavour to love, as if you were communing with all of nature and the entire universe.
