Una Llamada Al Amor

By Anthony de Mello

Book Description

In "Una Llamada Al Amor," readers encounter the profound spiritual reflections of Anthony de Mello, a mystic who dared to see reality with unflinching clarity. These meditations emerge not as theological doctrine, but as intimate memories from a spiritual seeker who discovered how to live with boundless compassion and love for all beings and things.

The book serves as a deeply personal journey, tracing de Mello's painful yet transformative path toward renouncing ideologies, formulas, and attachments in favor of authentic life, love, and freedom. At its heart, this work explores the nature of love itself and the barriers that prevent us from experiencing it fully—our attachments, desires, conditioning, and the mental prisons we construct around ourselves.

Through these contemplations, de Mello challenges readers to escape the confines of their psychological conditioning and abandon the formulas that obscure their vision of reality. He presents a radical understanding of love, suggesting that true love emerges only when we stand alone, free from the need to protect or desire anything. His enigmatic insights question commonly accepted beliefs about love and relationships.

The author recognizes that his perspective may disturb some readers, understanding that many prefer the familiar walls of their mental prisons to the uncertainty of freedom beyond them. Yet for those courageous enough to seek transformation, these meditations offer a pathway to seeing reality clearly and being fundamentally changed by that vision.
