You are looking for love, and you believe it will come to you from outside, in the form of a being who will be exactly the way you expect him to be

"You are looking for love, and you believe it will come to you from outside, in the form of a being who will be exactly the way you expect him to be: pleasant, good-looking, generous, patient... perfect! Although you yourself are grumpy, selfish and quick-tempered, love must show itself to you in the form of an angel! Well, no, that is not how things happen, for your love will be nothing but a reflection of yourself. You could hold an angel or an archangel in your arms, but if you have not opened yourself to the divine world, you would feel nothing of his splendor. What I am telling you is nothing extraordinary. We can often observe people in daily life who feel completely isolated or even persecuted by the whole world, in spite of the affection their family and friends have for them! Well, not everyone can feel and appreciate other people's love.

Love is a quality of divine life. That is why you will find true love only if you manage to let this life flow within you, a life that has been purified and illuminated thanks to your spiritual work."
