Some say that we focus too much here on wisdom and not enough on love and compassion. To reiterate, the important thing is the wisdom realizing emptiness, the natural state free from, empty of, illusory thought constructs.
As we've said, there's no difference between wisdom and love, because they both refer to essentially the same thing viewed from a different angle: wisdom sees that all 'things' are equal, and unconditional love sees that all 'beings' are equal. Again, as Nisargadatta Maharaj said,

***************************""Wisdom says I am nothing.
****************************Love says I am everything.
****************************Between the two my life flows."

Once wisdom arises, love is a natural by-product. Nisargadatta again:

****************************"Understanding is all."

Understand the Truth, and Be Love.

So very well said. I knew you were special when we were just kids--growing up in Martins Ferry.

We have been called--called to a very special mission. We must return to the garden from whence we came, together, like sun and water acting together, to bring forth only what is possible in the spring...rebirth, and the return...to nothing, from which we came and we return.
