“Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depth of their hearts where neither sin nor knowledge could reach, the core of reality, the person that each one is in the eyes of the Divine. If only they could see themselves as they really are, if only we could see each other that way all the time, there would be no more need for war, for hatred, for greed, for cruelty. I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship each other.”
Quote by Thomas Merton – Trappist Monk, Christian Mystic 1915 – 1968
REFLECTION:
How can you see yourself in a new way with ‘eyes of the Divine’ – with loving kindness?
How can you see another today with the “eyes of the Divine?”
What happens when you make this shift?
