Quote You know quite well, deep within you, that...

“You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.” - Hermann Hesse

Decryption of quote

"You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving."

Imagine a world where love is the ultimate force, the key to unlocking all the mysteries of life. Deep within each of us, there lies a knowing that love is the answer to all our questions, the solution to all our problems. It is the magic that binds us together, the power that heals our wounds, the salvation that sets us free.

"Well, then, love your suffering."

It may seem counterintuitive to love something as painful as suffering, but perhaps there is wisdom in this advice. By embracing our suffering with love and compassion, we can transform it into a source of strength and growth. Instead of resisting or fleeing from our pain, we can choose to face it head-on, knowing that love has the power to transmute even the darkest of experiences.

"Do not resist it, do not flee from it."

When we resist or flee from our suffering, we only prolong our own agony. By accepting and embracing our pain, we can begin the process of healing and transformation. It is through facing our suffering with courage and love that we can find the strength to overcome it.

"It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else."

It is not the suffering itself that causes us pain, but rather our aversion to it. When we resist or reject our suffering, we create additional layers of suffering for ourselves. By learning to love our suffering, we can release ourselves from this cycle of pain and find peace within our hearts.

So, let us remember the power of love, the magic of compassion, and the salvation of acceptance. Let us embrace our suffering with open arms, knowing that it is through love that we can find healing and transformation. And let us release ourselves from the grip of aversion, choosing instead to walk the path of love and light.
