Quote of the Day

By Paulo Coelho

The Lord listens to the prayers of those
who ask to be able to forget hatred,
but is deaf to those who want to flee love.
(The Fifth Mountain)

  • Sometimes we have to flee love for respect. Of course it doesn’t mean you don’t keep love in your heart.
    I have always love in my heart. Nevertheless, if injustice is coming around, I have problems to stay zen. And once alone, I have to empty that anger. In fact I don’t know how to put that precised anger I could retain, not to hurt people. So I let it go when I’m alone. It’s certainly not the best thing to do. But it helps me a lot in life.
    In some other times I can’t avoid myself to speak with a little anger. It depends on my adversary.
    That text is a great lesson. Should i Have read two weeks before…

    Gratefully.

  • for some forgetting is a re-membering too. the silence embedded in a question helps the soul to speak - collectively individuals can hear their own voice, but do not re-call the power of that sound

  • Hi!

    I just finished reading Brida. And I´m in a state of spiritual……awareness!!? What a story!(Like all of Coelhos stories actually.)

    And, yes, I flee love sometimes.
    Who doesn´t?
    But at the same time I´m reaching out.
    Opening up my heart.
    Embracing love.
    Contradictions.

    And Soulmates might be hard to find.

  • Yes….and we should love Him for that more and more,
    because there’s nothing greater and more beautiful than love,
    and nothing worse than hate.
    Love always wins, even if you think you lost.
    Love gives you wings when you cannot fly.
    Love smiles to you when you cry.
    Love…is…the greatest gift we could ever receive from God…
    and we should treasure it with all our hearts.

    love…you may touch God’s heart..

    love

  • We are the manifestations of God’s Love. We are on this planet in order to learn LOVE. To become like Him. To be light and love..If we succeed, it depends on our destiny. He has showed us the Way, we just have to follow His path. It is easy to love our friends but our ..enemies???? Sometimes we ‘flee love’. I think, we are afraid of losing ourselves and our autonomy, so we close our souls and run away..Love, Thelma

  • Paul from Austria

    You cannot flee love, because as you dear Paulo, along with many of your poster’s have said…”Love is”, and given that “God is Love” & “He is one of us” it is no wonder that he is deaf to those who try to flee it’s raptures.

    This can also be used to answer today’s “youtube” question; and my answer would be simply “Love is the answer”! Love yourself, love your friend, love your enemy, love Paulo Coelho and above all “Love your God”!

    With much love to all, Paul
