A young boy and girl begin to fall in love. They meet from time to time, they write to each other and exchange little gifts—a lock of hair, the tiniest flower, the petal of a rose—which to them are like talismans suffused with an ocean of emanations,...
When you give free rein to purely selfish, sexual love, you find that all your organs take on a will of their own and function, as it were, independently of you. Then, try as you might, you are powerless to stop them or apply the brakes in any way, ...
It is because your notion of love is too narrow, too limited, that you are always unhappy. When you love someone, you desperately want them to return your love, and if they fail to do so you suffer. But why should this make you suffer? Do not worry ...

So much horror has been perpetrated by people claiming to act out of their love of God. Today, as a result, those who speak of this love increasingly attract only suspicion. Now people think they must look to their fellow human beings, and abandon ...

Can we, or even should we continue to love a being who, at a given moment, adopts dishonest and unworthy attitudes and behaviour? Many men and women have had to ask themselves this question. Of course, our love for others always produces certain ...
Love between human beings can often be compared to an old wood stove whose smoke is constantly blackening their inner being. In winter when this stove is in use, they keep the windows closed, there's no air, they then doze off and lose their ...
Men and women who fall in love want their love to never end. This is possible, but only if they understand certain rules and apply them. If you genuinely wish your love for another to last, do not be in a hurry to become physically involved for, ...

Hope, faith and love are three virtues that correspond respectively to form, contents, and meaning. Hope is linked to the form, faith, to the contents, and love to the meaning. The form preserves the contents. The contents bring force, but force has ...
Why tell someone you love them? It is enough to love them. Love can be felt, can be seen – it is even the hardest thing to hide; it expresses itself through your gaze, your movements, your attitude. You do not have to declare it. Human beings expect ...
Love is an energy. And so, whenever you feel attracted towards someone, ask yourself in what direction you are projecting this energy and what kind of construction and realization, or turmoil and destruction it will bring about. Is it not volcanic ...
Jesus said, ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself'. And what does loving one's neighbour mean? Above all, it means to respect the life given to human beings by God. Christians must meditate on this commandment, because after two thousand years ...
When we wish to start a family, we have to make an effort to go outside ourselves, to open ourselves to another person, a husband or a wife, and later to children. But the mistake humans have made is in not understanding that they ought to have ...
There are people who love you, and that makes you happy. You feel this love as a spring constantly flowing for you, where you can always slake your thirst. This is true, but be watchful; be cautious. When you come to this spring, do not rush to ...

Most people have such a limited understanding of love that the moment they fall in love they forget the whole world – nothing else exists for them. They are not yet used to experiencing love in a greater way. They impoverish it, mutilate it. It is ...

The reason it is necessary to make all the laws that govern the relationships between human beings, is because they are not yet inhabited by love. When they know what true love is, when they live this love, in this love, they will no longer need ...
A man and woman meet and feel the need to come closer to one another: for a while they are both attentive and seek to please each other. But the day they begin to live together, they no longer feel so obliged to make an effort. You will say that ...

You never know what causes certain people to achieve or to excel. Sometimes they have neither the courage nor the power to do something for themselves, but the desire to help someone else, to rescue them, triggers unexpected energy. There was once a ...
The subject of chastity and continence is generally badly addressed by religion. Why? Because in reality, the act of lovemaking is in itself neither good nor bad: it is simply what men and women are able to make of it. If they have not worked on ...

The aim of spiritual life is to lead us to a higher state of consciousness we call divine love. For, true love, the kind that draws us closer to God, is a state of consciousness. It is impossible to describe it, nor can it be explained to those who ...
Life often presents us with people we find disagreeable. From a spiritual perspective, such people represent a kind of raw matter that our mouth (symbolically speaking) finds difficult to take in. But if we have love's warmth and wisdom's light ...
