Secret of Love

Imagine a large circle
And in the center of it, rays of light spreads out to the circumference
The light in the center is God.
Each of us is a ray
The closer the rays are to the center
The closer are the rays to one another

The closer we live to god
The closer we are bound to one another
The further we are from god
The further we are from one another

The more each ray departs from its center
The weaker it becomes
And the closer it gets to the center
The stronger it becomes

The secret of love is for each man to live as close to god as s/he can
And he will thereby  live closer to his beloved
In Him(God), self love becomes perfected
In him also we love our neighbor as ourselves
