Dear all,

Today we shall see the sixteenth rule of Love from the novel The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak. Here it goes:

Real faith is the one inside. The rest simply washes off. There is only one type of dirt that cannot be cleansed with pure water, and that is the stain of hatred and bigotry contaminating the soul. You can purify your body through abstinence and fasting, but only love will purify your heart.

How beautiful! I invite you all to contemplate on this rule.

Merry Christmas, again! 🙂
