Táto kniha nás nabáda, aby sme našli to, čo sme dočasne stratili, a vydali sa na cestu opätovného spojenia so svojou najhlbšou podstatou, ktorá je radostná, otvorená, zbavená akýchkoľvek podmienok a obmedzení ako bezmračná žiariaca obloha. Keď rozpoznáme svoju podstatu, súcit a láska sa samy prirodzene prejavia vo všetkom, čo robíme. Táto cesta nie je ezoterická a nevyžaduje od nás nejaké mimoriadne schopnosti. Je praktická, logická a jasná. Je jednoducho to, čím sme. V jadre nás všetkých rozochvieva láska. Sami sme láskou, ktorá nemá hranice a môže svietiť v každej chvíli, či sme veselí, alebo smutní.
