Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Source: Radio Sai web site Love is of four kinds. The first one, Svaartha-Prema, is like a lamp kept in a room; it illumines only the room. This kind of selfish love is confined to a limited group and does not extend to others. Samanjasa-Prema may be compared to the light from the moon. Though moonlight is visible everywhere, it is dim. This kind of love extends to a wider group, but is not very intense. The third is Paraartha-Prema. It is like sunlight - very brilliant and spreads everywhere. But like the sun that disappears at night only to rise again at dawn, this kind of love may appear to be absent at times, but it will appear again. The fourth one is Yathaartha-Prema or Atma-Prema. This love is present in all places, at all times and under all circumstances. This is Divine Love. It is eternal, imperishable and immanent in everyone. When this love is manifested by a person, he achieves the peace that passeth all understanding. - Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today 5th May 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
