CHAPTER 2
From the time of birth unto death, you experience
different forms of love. I call these your
‘addictions’ and dependencies more than love itself.
From birth you feel instantaneous love for the mother
that delivered you in this world and the father that
protected you from discomfort and stresses. You grew
to love your siblings who shared your childhood with
you. You grew attached to your surroundings and
friends that spent time with you in the course of your
studies. Then you gave your heart to the one person
you committed to spend your lifetime with. This union
brought your children into this world for whom you
sacrificed your entire life for.
But in each of these kinds of love, is a ‘selfishness’
hidden. Even after experiencing all this love, you
remain restless, unhappy and in search of something
new. In each of these stages of love, you will find
your eye looks for a love that is sweeter and more
complete. A love that completely accepts you with no
expectations.
When the love of God walks into your life, His
strength of goodness becomes your ideal. His power to
change you is your only obsession. His shadow of
protection is your motivation to move forward! I urge
you to walk your first steps towards this stream of
love. Push yourselves, slowly, from these strings of
confinements, and arrive at My doorstep. Give up the
name that is attached to this body and call upon Mine.
These doors of My love will stay open for you always,
anytime, anywhere and whenever you are ready for Me.
It is only your readiness to walk Godward, that will
one day, make you the divine being you pray to be
today.
CHAPTER 3
Recognize My mission and make it your own. When you
are no different from Me, then why should your tasks
be different from Mine? To be able to love all, you
must be able to see all as yourselves. Do not limit
your love to only the family you are born in. Your
heart must broaden to encompass all in your family.
Your feelings of superiority over others must go.
Step over all your likes and hatred, and reign the
superiority over your senses. Do not be fickle to
love Him now, and spite Him in your very next moment.
The love in God, the love of God, and the love for God
must be the guidelines of your life. Love must never
be publicized. It must be done in a sweet silence,
only in the watchful presence of the divinity that
lies within. The reward of your love is the presence
of the Lord with you always. What more can you ask,
when God Himself, becomes your companion in this walk
of life, and when this journey of life ends, your life
merges and ends into Him.
Divine love cannot be limited by any laziness. Love
will make time always for others and never for your
ownselves. Love suffocates on terms and conditions.
Where there is an "if" and a "but", true love does not
exist there. Your ideal that makes you love will let
you pass through all the trials of love and will
successfully elevate you to the level of divine love -
a love that justifies no reason, a love that fears
only God's approval.
Be confident, and know that love is your way to
liberate. Love can free you from the bondages of
dislikes and hatred, breaking the wall of differences
that you create to destroy the self. Love bears the
sweetness and innocence of a child that will melt any
heart. Love is as brave as a warrior that can walk at
the edge of a razor blade, without the fear of the
wounds it will bear. Sacrifice holds the hands of
love, and together, they conquer and win, to be less
handicapped to their own desires, and in the process,
they learn that "giving" is "loving" and "loving" is
"living".
Do not mistake your passion to be love, for that is
only temporarily rising to heights and then falling,
due to your selfish motives that are involved. You
must be unaffected to give love under any
circumstances and not waver with personal prejudices.
For being loved, no one is too small or too big, for
we all need to be loved, and we all need someone to
love.
To give love, you must respond with all sincerity that
comes from the depth of your heart and with no
judgements. Love cannot be judged or measured, it is
only felt. Thoughts of love must be followed by words
of kindness and acts of selflessness, or else love
becomes meaningless.
Just as giving love is your nature, accepting
another's love with sincere acceptance and no
criticism is also love itself. Love must be given
with pleasure and accepted with gracefulness too.
Love that is given must not be remembered, but love
must be accepted with a profuse feeling of
thankfulness. An act of love received from another is
His grace to you, for it is only His love that lives
in all of us. Do not attach a value to any act of
love. Money can buy you a gift that can give you
momentary pleasure, but the love behind the act cannot
be bought. Love, My dears, and learn to look beyond
yourselves. Each one of you can change to be God.
Rise above the pride of your limited knowledge, and
learn to live by all with love.
Aspire to be divine, and inspire by being divine.
Love can mingle with any race, any religion, and it
can embrace a saint to a sinner. Experience divine
love, and I promise you that you will smile with tears
of divine bliss. Love nourishes your spiritual wants,
just as your blood nourishes the body.
