Ours is a religion of love. If we accept this simple premise, then we can accept that we are to become an expression of the Divine Love. This love is not preferential; it does not withold itself from people who may be veiled from love. The preferential ego may find this difficult to accept and put into practice. How will the world become a place where love is lived, if we do not express the Divine love to all beings? If we become love, the beloved is everywhere.
Shams says, "All your problems come from reading your own letter all the time, and not listening to the melody of the darling." When muttering "I" or "me" at the door of the beloved, we only remain outside.
