“Love is as simple as the absence of self given to another. God, when invited, fills the void of any unrequited love; hence loving is how one is drawn closer to God no matter its most horrific repercussions.”

About this quote
True love is often misunderstood as a transaction, but as Criss Jami suggests, its purest form is the selfless act of giving. When we let go of our ego and the need for validation, we open our hearts to a love that transcends the physical realm. This journey of vulnerability is where our true spiritual growth begins, teaching us that the act of loving is a reward in itself, regardless of whether that love is returned. For those walking through the shadows of heartbreak or the ache of unrequited affection, remember that your pain is not a void, but a space waiting to be filled with divine grace. By inviting a higher power into our loneliness, we discover that the courage to love despite the risk of pain is the most direct path to spiritual enlightenment. This shift in perspective transforms our deepest wounds into bridges that lead us closer to the Divine. Let this be your reminder to keep loving fiercely and selflessly. Even when the repercussions feel overwhelming, your capacity to give without expectation is a testament to your strength and a catalyst for your soul's evolution. Embrace the beauty of a heart that dares to love, for in that openness, you find a peace that the world cannot give nor take away.
