Men World May

More From Viktor E. Frankl

I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world may still know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. in a position of utter desolation, when a man cannot express himself in positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way - an honorable way - in such a position man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment.

...bliss is not something to be got. on the other hand you are always bliss. this desire [for bliss] is born of the sense of incompleteness. to whom is this sense of incompleteness? enquire. in deep sleep you were blissful. now you are not so. what has interposed between that bliss and this non-bliss? it is the ego. seek its source and find you are bliss.

There are three kinds of love; unselfish, mutual, and selfish. the unselfish love is of the highest kind; the lover only minds the welfare of the beloved and does not care for his own sufferings. in mutual love the lover not only wants the happiness of his beloved; but has an eye towards his own happiness also. it is middling. the selfish love is the lowest. it only looks towards its own happiness, no matter whether the beloved suffers weal or woe.
Selfish Eye Love Is
Why is it important that you are with god and god alone on the mountain top? it's important because it's the place in which you can listen to the voice of the one who calls you the beloved. to pray is to listen to the one who calls you 'my beloved daughter,' 'my beloved son,' 'my beloved child.' to pray is to let that voice speak to the center of your being, to your guts, and let that voice resound in your whole being.
