We often chase the false lights of this world, mistaking them for lasting joys. We convince ourselves that pleasure lies in temporary thrills, in fleeting distractions, in substances and addictions that promise freedom but leave us enslaved. The parties, the excess, the various bad habits and sins—all of it seems to fill us for a moment, but soon we are left with a strange emptiness, an inner silence so vast it feels cosmic. This emptiness whispers the Truth: we are not made for temporary lights, but for an eternal Flame.
That Flame is True, Unconditional Love. Not the distorted love that flatters our ego or demands something in return, but the Love that flows from our Uncreated Creator, who planted within us the seed of Virtue, Dignity, and eternal Purpose. When we align our actions with this Love, when we live as vessels of it, we discover a Joy deeper than any fleeting pleasure. It is a joy that does not vanish when the night ends or the music stops. It is a joy that tastes of eternity.
We experience it when we lift a hand to help someone in need, when we speak truth against injustice despite the cost, when we use our talents not to glorify ourselves but to build and heal. We feel it when we forgive those who wounded us, when we choose patience instead of anger, when we stand firm for what is right even if it means standing alone. We feel it in acts of mercy, in moments of humility, in sacrifices made silently but shining brightly in the unseen order of the universe. Each of these actions carries within it the resonance of Paradise, as if for a brief instant Heaven touches Earth.
Furthermore, the human heart has always sought the Truth. Yet we often stumble because our eyes are distracted by illusions—illusions that promise joy but conceal decay. The Uncreated Creator, who is Harmony, Peace, and Life itself, calls us not with false seduction but with Clarity. The adversary of good, however, cloaks destruction in sweetness, offering gifts that seem harmless or even desirable but that, in time, reveal themselves enslaving and destructive. The good bears fruits of goodness, returning love for Love. The false light bears only darkness, no matter how dazzling it first appears.
Moreover, the entire cosmos moves under the law of cause and effect. Every action, whether born of love or malice/hatred, ripples into the fabric of existence, creating harmony or chaos. To sow good is to invite Balance, to nurture Order, to become an instrument of Peace. To sow evil is to unleash disorder, to fracture what was meant for unity, to perpetuate suffering. Yet there is a remedy: Love. Love alone has the power to sever the chain of consequences that binds humanity to despair. Love alone restores what hatred has broken. Love alone lifts us beyond ourselves, reconnecting us to our true origin and destiny.
Therefore, the false lights will continue to beckon, dazzling and deceptive, although these will soon fade. However, those who choose to follow the True Flame, who seek the Joy born of Virtue, Compassion, and the Fulfillment of their unique mission, will know what it means to live fully. For in every act of genuine Love, no matter how small, we taste Eternity—and we remember that we were never made for emptiness, but for the boundless radiance of the Unconditional.
