THE GIFT OF UNDERSTANDING

Meher Baba

 
The gift of understanding is more precious than any other attribute of Love — be it expressed in service or sacrifice.

Love can be blind, selfish, greedy, ignorant, but love with understanding can be none of these things. It is the Divine fruit of Pure Love, the rare fruit or flower of the Universe. It has been called "The Sweetest Flower in all the world!" Age cannot wither it.

It grows more lovely as it casts off its outer garment, disclosing its unseen beauty within.
