Inner Delight Of Love

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, this line is a statement of your inner condition rather than a description of an external lover. The speaker’s cry, 'How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love,' is a recognition that love is already the reality you inhabit—an inner state that radiates as delight when you awaken to it. In Neville's psychology, places fade as consciousness shifts; here the beloved is your own awareness: fair, pleasant, and full of delights because you have befriended the nobler part of yourself that loves without condition. When you treat love as a property of consciousness, beauty becomes not a circumstance to be earned but a condition you sustain. The delights you praise are the natural byproducts of living in the I AM as love’s inviolate center. So the verse invites you to practice the simple revision: affirm that you are the fair and pleasant love, and let the imagination color your days with harmonious light. Do not chase outer pleasures; imagine from within and watch delight become your experience, as if the entire world were a radiant reflection of your own inner love.
