"..for centuries your roots have been cut, poisoned. You have been made afraid of ever being in love with yourself - which is the first step of love, and the first experience. A man who loves himself respects himself. And a man who loves and respects himself respects others, too, because he knows: 'Just as I am, so are others. Just as I enjoy love, respect, dignity, so do others.' He becomes aware that we are not different as far as the fundamentals are concerned; we are one."

Love Freedom & Aloneness

And so we hurt ourselves,
ReplyDeleteTo understand the way we feel
When we see our own pains in
The lives of others.
In a life that feels only
We are a wheel of love and fear that
Must kill the karma in itself
To understand the love that reigns in
The hell in which we live
Is actually forgiveness.
