Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 " God is Love " Love is the central fact of this universe. Without it the universe will not stand; it will disintegrate and fall away, because it is love that upholds. It is present even in inert, gross matter as a power that scientists know as cohesion. Cohesion is the outermost manifestation of His love. It is that which holds everything together. God's love is boundless, motiveless, and it is available in abundance to each and every one of His creatures, man and animal, all forms of life. And more so to the human beings whom He made in His own image, who are a part of His own Being. They are all a manifestation of the supreme principle of love that is the innermost essence of God. Thus in this world of change, in this world of phenomena, if there is at all anything that is unchanging, ever-constant, ever-present, most dependable, it is that God is love and God's love is available to you. This is the one great fact of your own life. " Anpe Sivam! God is love! " -Swami Chidananda " It is good to love God for hope of reward, but it is better to love God for love's sake; and the prayer goes: O Lord, I do not want wealth nor children nor learning. If it be Thy will, I shall go from birth to birth. But grant me this, that I may love thee without the hope of reward - 'love' unselfishly for love's sake. " - Swami Vivekananda " Love expects no reward. Love knows no fear. Love Divine gives - does not demand. Love thinks no evil; To Love is to share and serve. " - Swami Sivananda " The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed. " - J. Krishnamurti " It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving. " - Mother Teresa " Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. " Bible, Corinthians 13:4-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
