Hafiz [the Persian mystic poet] tells us that Love's Journey unfolds through every process of life. Divine principles are constantly being demonstrated all around us. We cannot learn them through words or books or limited systems of human values. Hafiz says that God is fully known only through love, which accepts everything. Love reveals the universe as a cosmic playground where every thing and being participates in a single, magnificent Game.
