Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Dear Ben , thank you for the beautiful Poem on Love .That is true 'dying to the Self' .Inwardly one must be as a sanyasin with all desires extinct ,totally dependent on the Friend .This is the total self-surrender and what remains is love . Also the painting of the friends in search of the friend .The composition is similar to William Blake's illustration for Jerusalem[frontespiece].Here Blake has one man in search of the friend holding a lantern before the half open door.Unfortunately I havem't the soft ware to send pictures ..All best wishes , with love in His Grace , Alan ______________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
