Flame of Love

Love need not dissolve in order to transform;
it possesses the direct power of transformation.

Love is like a flame that changes
what is hard into something malleable.

In its essence, in its origin,
love is like a flame, a white flame
which overcomes all resistances.

A single second of this pure, essential, supreme love
dissolves it as in an all-powerful flame;
a single moment and a whole past can disappear;
a single instant in which you touch it in its essence
and a whole burden is consumed.
