Love
„The loving soul is always greater and longer than the beloved soul.”From Orot HaKodesh IV, 406
When we give love to another, we raise ourselves to a very great level. The giving that we bestow is the greatest gift for us. A parent's love for his children, for example, gives life to the child, but no less – and at times even more – life to the parent who bestows it. And the more we internalize the immense gift within bestowing love outward, the more the world will be better and happier.
