Love as a challenge
– causing advancement, personal evolution and a shared life quest
by Rainer Rilke
" For
one human being to love another human being; this is perhaps the most difficult task that
has been entrusted to us – the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for
which all other work is merely preparation. Loving at first does not mean merger,
surrender and uniting with another person.
Love is a high inducement for the
individual to ripen, to become something in ourselves, to become world in ourselves for
the sake of another person. Love is a great, demanding claim on us, something that chooses
us and calls us to vast distances."
