The universe, even the immediate universe that seems to swirl around us, is ultimately not dependent upon us. Sometimes I think the most seductive heresy of our day is that our job is to find meaning in life. Don't get me wrong, I'm in favor of meaning, too. It's just that we can kid ourselves if we think that the finding is the same as reaching our goal. In other words, even to be a mystic and know all meaning is not enough, if there isn't an object.
Love never ends.
For emphasis, he deflates the idea that even knowing all meaning is the point. This is the thing God does with God's own children, us. God plants in us the need for love. We restlessly search for it. We ache, we rage, if love has been denied to us, if it's been inadequately communicated.
