But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering…
““But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of our growth. The more we love, the closer we come to a spiritual experience. Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all the inhibitions…They have been joyful - because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender.””
