The Way to Love: Meditations for Life
The Way To Lovecontains the  final flowering of Anthony  de Mello's thought, and  in it he grapples with the ultimate question  of  love. In thirty-one meditations, he implores his  readers with his  usual pithiness to break through  illusion, the great obstacle to love.  "Love  springs from awareness," de Mello insists, saying  that it is  only when we see others as they are  that we can begin to really love.  But not only must  we seek to see others with clarity, we must examine   ourselves without misconception. The task,  however, is not easy. "The  most painful act,"  de Mello says, "is the act of seeing. But in  that  act of seeing that love is born." Anthony  De Mello was the director of  the Sadhana Institute  of Pastoral Counseling in Poona, India, and   authored several books.The Way To Loveis his last.--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
