Another gibran poetic essay that interests me most

On Pain

Kahlil Gibran

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;

And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.

And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.

Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:

For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,

And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.

God's love versus Human love

                (   A short essay that strikes me most   )

                When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, I am in the heart of God."

                                                                     - Love, Kahlil Gibran

                            In life, we tend to distinguished our love from others. We try to ask ' "Is he love me ?" or "do I love Him?".

                      That line really strikes me most.  If we are going to allocate the scenario into human perspective,Our love is not only conditional, it is also mercurial. We love based on feelings and emotions that can change from one moment to the next.We must say never say "He is in my heart" but we must rather say that,"i am in his heart, because you can never tell weather he  really loves you in a way that you really love him.  

                 And while on divine ,humane perspective,when the Scriptures say, "God is love," they aren't telling us that God is some nebulous, warm fuzzy feeling of love. God defines love. And when we say that God defines love, we don't mean that He defines it like Webster might define something -- we mean that God is the very definition of love itself. There is no such thing as love without God. As hard as we might try, we cannot define love outside of knowing God.
