“It is only when attachments disappear that one enters the boundless realm of spiritual freedom called love. One is now released to see and to respond.
The orchestra is within you, and you carry it with you wherever you go. The things and people outside you merely determine what particular melody the orchestra will play. You now carry in your heart a happiness that nothing outside of you can put there, and nothing can take away.”
—The Way to Love: The Last Meditations of Anthony de Mello, p. 112 & 116
