Passage 77

In English

The child drinks mother’s milk and finds it to be sweet. Did the mother add sugar to the milk? No; mother’s milk is sweet by nature; that is the way God made it. In the same way, God’s Love is sweet and is present everywhere. It is up to you to extract that sweetness and enjoy it, just as a baby sucks milk from its mother and even as bees suck honey from flowers. Do the flowers invite the bees? No, the bees go to the flowers spontaneously. In the same manner, you too should seek noble souls and absorb good things from them.
