The spiritual path is like climbing up to the mountain top through hills and dales and thorny woods and along steep and dangerous precipices. If there is one thing which is most necessary for a safe and sure arrival at the top, it is love. All other qualities which are essential for the aspirants of the Highest can and must come to them if they faithfully follow the whispers of the unerring guide of love.

If you lose hold of the mantle of this guide, there is only despair in store for you. The gateway to the highest state of being One with God is firmly closed to all who do not have the courage to lose their separate existence in the restless fire of divine love.
