I feel compelled to share a little about this great prophet
He was born in Israel in the 8th century. His sayings belong to the old testament. He often compared his relation with his wife to Israel relation with God
His wife Gomer was not faithful to him but he continued to love her unconditionally. ( Akin to God loving Israel and humans even though we remain engrossed in pleasures of food and flesh)
His previous quote proved he was a Yogi. It could only have been written by a great Yogi! The meaning of the quote is a matter of explanation at a different time!
The quote is indeed perfect
