"You know quite well, deep within you, that there is a single magic, a single power, a single salvation, and single happiness, and that is called loving. Then love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. Taste how sweet it is in its essence, give yourself to it do not meet it with aversion. It is only aversion that hurts, nothing else."
