You can only overcome personal trials and crises in life unharmed if you become soft and bendable in face of them. If, on the other hand, you try to fight them with force, they are going to break you. Therefore, you have to meet difficult/challenging personal situations in the awareness of love and flexibility of mind. In this way you will be able to sail through life's storms without getting smashed and torn to pieces by its heavy breakers and moreover acquire valuable knowledge on the craft of navigation. Because by not fighting the situation you are remaining uninvolved and thus free to observe and learn from it. Whereas, if you put up a struggling fight, trying to go head-on towards the current and steering with full force against the gale, chances are great that you will suffer shipwreck. And even if you can make it through the storm - you will have no idea afterwards how you did it because fighting renders blind.
There is a kind of love which unifies and unites and one that renders us poignantly - at times even painfully - aware of boundaries, limitations and our separateness. The mastership of true loving is to attain the awareness of the first and to henceforth exist in this state even whilst passing through personal experiences of the love that separates.
