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.
理解的恩赐比爱的任何其他属性更宝贵 ——无论是服务还是牺牲。
爱可以是盲目的，自私的，贪婪的，无知的，但带有理解的爱可以不是这些东西。这是纯爱的神圣果实，是宇宙的稀有果实或花朵。它被称为“世界上最甜蜜的花朵！” 年龄不能使它枯萎。
当它脱掉外衣时，它变得更加可爱，露出了它的内在不可见之美。
