Love

 

Love is the word, which indicates the striving to realize the

falsehood of the many, and the reality of the One. Love identifies;

hate separates. Love transposes the self on to another and the two

think, speak, and act as one. When love takes in more and more

within its fold, more and more entities are rendered as One. When

you love me, you love all, for you begin to feel and know and

experience that I am in all.

 

The earth is a great enterprise, a busy factory, where the product

is love. By means of Sadhana (spiritual practice), it is possible to

produce love and export it to millions and millions of people in

need of it. The more it is shared, the deeper it becomes, the

sweeter its taste, and the vaster the joy. By means of love, one can

approach God and stay in his presence, for God is love, and when one

lives in love he is living in God.

 

When you live with the consciousness of the omnipresent Atma (inner

divinity), you live in love, love following and flooding in and

through you and all else.

 

Cultivate love and Prema towards all: that is the way to gain

nearness. I do not measure distance in terms of meters or miles. The

range of love decides distance for me.

 

I must tell you of the paramount importance of love. Love is God;

live in love. God is the embodiment of perfect love. He can be known

and realized, reached and won, only through love. You can see the

moon only with the help of moonlight; you can see God only through

the rays of love.

 

The Prema (love) is my distinctive mark, not the creation of

material objects or of health and happiness by sheer exercise of

will. You might consider what you call miracles as the most direct

sign of divinity, but the Prema that welcomes you all, that blesses

all, that makes me rush to the presence of the seekers, the

suffering, and the distressed in distant lands or wherever they are.

That is the real sign!
