Question

love means to learn to look at yourself the way one looks at distant things for you are only one thing among many. and whoever sees that way heals his heart, without knowing it from various ills...

Answer 1

It means that love takes you outside of yourself & lets you see yourself and others as just a part of the greater whole of life. Love is selfless. And, when you start seeing how other people are the same as you, or have similar problems, or different problems but similar worries, you can start to heal, move on, grow, knowing that what you've got to work with is just fine.

Answer 2

I think it's talking about self love. Taking a step back and loving/looking at yourself from a distance gives perspective and helps find ways forward without getting caught on the details that weighs us down. Learning to love ourselves better.

Answer 3

To me, it means that genuine love makes us see that we are not the centre of the universe and focus more on those around us. This outlook would heal us as we would no longer dwell so much on our own troubles, and thereby feed these troubles, but learn to look more at what we can do to have a positive impact outside of ourselves. To give of oneself in this way does much to heal us by the love that we feel when doing so.
