To reduce Truth to the level of an opinion is darkness. To present a mere opinion as Truth is greater darkness. To call changing emotions love is death, and to see that death as life is even greater death.

Truth and love are inseparable, and they are never changing. To attribute change to them is to live in ignorance. The underlying reality behind all realities is never altered, as the ocean remains the same though many waves arise and subside on the surface.

To separate Truth from love is to separate awareness from feeling. To pursue Truth is to love all.

Do not let your love be a service only to your desire, but let it serve the harmony of Cosmic Truth. Grow together with those you love, and if the aim of your love is to help each other realize union with God, then your love will progress toward the changeless. In so reaching the realm of Permanence, your love will pass all its tests.

Truth and Love
