Summary

This quote suggests that a man must choose between two distinct paths when it comes to interacting with women. "Loving women" implies emotional connection, affection, and care, while "understanding them" suggests knowledge, insight, and comprehension. It implies that one cannot easily possess both traits simultaneously, insinuating that men must decide whether to approach their relationships with women through an emotional lens or a logical and intellectual one. It highlights the potential challenge and dichotomy of balancing deep feelings with objective understanding when it comes to relating to women.

To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.

This Law -- whether Conscious or Unconscious --predestines nothing and no one. It exists from and in Eternity, truly, for it is ETERNITY itself; and as such, since no act can be co-equal with eternity, it cannot be said to act, for it is ACTION itself...Karma creates nothing, nor does it design. It is man who plans and creates causes, and Karmic law adjusts the effects; which adjustment is not an act, but universal harmony, tending ever to resume its original position.
