Overview
From the international bestselling author of Awareness, a pocket-sized guide that will bring you to new levels of spiritual awareness. The Way To Love contains 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 Love is his last.
Anthony De Mello
Anthony De Mello was a Jesuit priest and psychotherapist known for his profound insights into spirituality and human consciousness. Primarily recognized for his books such as Awareness and The Way to Love, De Mello's works explore themes of spiritual awakening and the understanding of one's self through introspective and contemplative practices. His approach combined elements from both Western and Eastern spiritual traditions, making his teachings resonant with a diverse audience worldwide.
De Mello's style was marked by storytelling, often using parables and anecdotes to convey deeper truths. Because of his innovative methods and ideas, he remains a significant figure in spiritual and philosophical circles. He faced some controversy later in his career, particularly from the Vatican, which issued a notification regarding certain theological positions he posited, emphasizing a need for discernment when reading his works.
Born in Bombay in 1931, Anthony De Mello was influenced deeply by the cultural tapestry of India which shaped his unique approach to spirituality and counseling. He travelled extensively, giving lectures and retreats around the globe. De Mello's ideas on spirituality and human consciousness continue to engage and inspire those interested in existential and spiritual questions.
