Bountiful Is Your Life, Full And Complete. Or So You Think, Until Someone Comes Along And Makes You Realize What You Have Been Missing All This Time. Like A Mirror That Reflects What Is Absent Rather Than Present, He Shows You The Void In Your Soul—the Void You Have Resisted Seeing. That Person Can Be A Lover, A Friend, Or A Spiritual Master. Sometimes It Can Be A Child To Look After. What Matters Is To Find The Soul That Will Complete Yours. All The Prophets Have Given The Same Advice: Find The One Who Will Be Your Mirror!".

One Night, A Group Of Moths Gathered On A Shelf Watching A Burning Candle. Puzzled By The Nature Of The Light, They Sent One Of Their Members To Go And Check On It. The Scouting Moth Circled The Candle Several Times And Came Back With A Description: The Light Was Bright. Then A Second Moth Went To Examine It. He, Too, Came Back With An Observation: The Light Was Hot. Finally A Third Moth Volunteered To Go. When He Approached The Candle He Didn't Stop Like His Friends Had Done, But Flew Straight Into The Flame. He Was Consumed There And Then, And Only He Understood The Nature Of The Light.
