If a person has never encountered love
towards himself or herself from any
quarter, it is very sad. But if that
person can meet even one person who
will show unconditional love -- simply
acceptance and compassion -- if he
knows that he is an object of someone
else’s affection and love, it is bound to
have an impact, and this will be
appreciated. Because there is a seed in
himself, this act of love will start to
catalyse or ripen that seed.
若一個人從不曾得到任何的愛,
會是件多麼悲慘的事.
但若這個人遇到即便只有一個人
對他付出無條件的愛
– 自然的接受與包容 –
只要他知道自己是某個人愛慕
與付出情感的對象,
就一定會發生影響,
會被覺察也會被珍惜感激.
因為每個人都有種子, 而愛的行為
會催化種子並使種子成熟.
