Our identity is a great mystery

One day I received a visit from a young man who had recently become engaged. He had difficulty in expressing what he was feeling but finally said: 'When I gaze into my fiancee's eyes, I don't really know who I'm looking at, and I don't know who in me is looking at her, either.' And it is true; our identity is a great mystery. Who are these entities who live in us and who live in our family members, friends and acquaintances as well? It is impossible to know exactly who it is we have before us.

So, I said to this young man: 'Your fiance is inhabited by entities who give her the qualities you love in her. Ask God to keep these entities from leaving her and leaving you, for if this happens you will lose your love. And pray as well that the entities who inhabit you and make her love you do not leave you.' I sensed he was listening to me very attentively, and he left in a very thoughtful mood.
