A Dance of Love and Reason

"A woman asks: ‘Rupert, will you speak to us of love?’ Rupert says: ‘I can’t speak of love. I can only try to demonstrate it.’ When we feel that we share our being with everyone, we’re naturally drawn to caring for others – this is the impulse behind all genuine service. But love alone isn’t enough for sustainable work in the world. We also need the mind to create structures, to make our caring efficient, to prevent burnout. Many people drawn to caring professions burn out because they give from love without the discernment that reason provides. The mind isn’t the enemy of love – it’s love’s instrument in manifestation. When love and reason work together, our service becomes what I would call a dance of love and reason. We give fully, but wisely. We care deeply, but sustainably.’"
