When you look for love, look at the soul.
A soul is honest. It cannot masquerade as something it is not.
If it is beautiful, it is the mark of true beauty, a beauty that will never fade.
If it is ugly, it cannot be masked by a chiseled jawline or a perfectly painted canvass.
A soul is bare. It has no colour and sings only God's Creed.
A soul is real. It is the essential transcendent being.
A soul is timeless. It lives and can be loved forever.
So find one that is beautiful to love.
And when you love, love with your soul.
This love is born of the same love you have for God.
It is the only kind of love that can tame your nafs (ego).
It is the only kind of love that will satisfy you, because it is not formed in the primitive, fleeting realm of desire; rather, creating a sacred space for yearning to bloom.
It has no lexicon, but speaks the most sophisticated language.
It is the purest love, because it exists in an incorruptible plane; it knows only good.
It is unconditional love, because it sets no expectations, it does not only give when it has taken, it is not bound by contracts or agreements.
It is a selfless love, because it is not defined by the confines of 'self'. Rather, it sees two as one, the loved becoming an extension of you.
Love with your soul because only then will you have known what it is to truly love.
But know this.
Not all those we love will requite with soul. There are no guarantees of reciprocity.
That's okay. You should still love. Because, you are only keeper of your own soul,
and there is nothing so nourishing, so exhilarating for the soul as love...
