UNIVERSAL LOVE
A universal love we must have. And this does not mean that there
is nothing at all we shall love, nothing in which we shall take
delight; for attachment is egoism in love and not love itself, desire is limitation and insecurity in a hunger
for pleasure and satisfaction and not the seeking after the divine delight in things, calm and yet eternally intense
beyond the brief vehemence of the most violent passion; a delight in things rooted in a delight in God does not
adhere to their forms but to that which they conceal in themselves and that embraces the universe without being
caught in its meshes.
There was no more division's endless scroll;
One grew the Spirit's secret unity,
All nature felt again the single bliss;
There was no cleavage between soul and soul,
There was no barrier between world and God.
