Ponderings

Loving your enemy is the hardest of all. But how do we do this without forgiveness? How do we forgive if we are not meek? And how could we be meek without love? The reason why love is made as the pinnacle of faith - without love there is no faith, as Muhammad repeatedly said. It appears to be a cycle. You thought it is impossible but when you succeed once, it becomes a behavior in following the footsteps of Jesus. But it is the inner weaknesses that prevent the unconscious self from doing this, particularly, pride, fear, etc. The first step, therefore, involves overcoming personal weaknesses, and thus the saying, "the heart of revolution is the revolution in the heart."
