Wisdom and love

The small hand and the big hand of a clock

August 27th 2024

We must work according to the laws of wisdom and the methods of love. Love and wisdom can be compared to the hands of a clock: wisdom is the small hand that marks the hours, and love is the big hand that marks the minutes. Wisdom shows us the high ideal, the programme to be realized, and this programme is valid throughout eternity. But in order to realize this programme, we must adopt the methods of love, that is, live every minute of the day with joy and enthusiasm, without ever losing our impetus. That is the way to reconcile the programme of eternity with that of the day. Wisdom shows the direction in which to travel, and love – the heart – maintains the movement.*
