To Disclose the God in You: Marc Gafni

“I” am God
These love stories in my previous blogs are about what the Hindus called Bhakti, to truly see the other bathed in their divine radiance. “Love you neighbor as yourself,” cries out the biblical book of Leviticus.

But loving your neighbor is not the whole story. That quote is three words too short. What all too often gets left out of the passage are the three last, and perhaps most crucial, words. For the complete verse is, “Love your neighbor as yourself — I AM GOD.” To love your neighbor is to know that the “I” is God. To love your neighbor is to reveal, to disclose, her ultimate divinity.
