CHAPTER 4
When you look into the sea from the shores, the sea
appears to have a limited boundary. Travel across the
sea, and you will see that the ocean goes far beyond
the boundary that appeared from the shore. Such is
the case of love. You seem to think that you have
reached the limits of love, but to your surprise, you
will find that you can love even more. Love grows to
infinity. The limits of love are the limits you place
on it. The more love you experience, the more love
will grow and give. Fly, and spread the wings of
love, and set yourselves free.
Your attachments will fail in the test of love.
Attachments identify your limitation to the body with
no recognition of the self. This love is your own
dependency till this body remains. Divine love,
recognizes the body as only an instrument of the Lord
and knows, that the self is only a part of Him that
serves through this body.
Be simplistic in your ways of life. Your obsessions
of your possessions supercedes your love for your own
selves. Your temporary contentment in your houses,
cars, and bank balances prevent you to even know who
God really is. Your "wants" today dominate your
"needs", and in this race to want more, your need for
God has diminished and even disappeared. Wake up, and
see that these worldly riches have made you the poor
human you are today. All your desires of comforts may
be at your feet, yet your mind is diseased, and your
heart experiences pain to detach and to give. When
your love for the world takes the place to love God,
your pains, my child, are inevitable. Ask yourselves,
how much are you able to give of yourselves to the
people you love. You will be amazed as to how much
your love actually demands than gives. How much of it
do you think is real love, or is it simply using their
love to your advantage?
Evaluate yourselves and your lives, and realize the
vacuum of emptiness you are enclosed in. Change, be
softer and more compassionate to the needs of others,
and stop your complaints of them. Change, be quiet to
be able to hear the pain of others, and stop living
for yourselves. Your expectations of others is only
your own ego, your acceptance of them is divine. You
can change the world in the way you perceive it. I
can motivate and inspire you to love, but it is still
you that has to take the step to love. I can show you
the benefits of your change, but it is you that must
be determined to change. Make your efforts and earn
the blessing of eternal bliss.
Do not consider it your defeat of your weakness when
you do not retaliate to others' attacks on you. Stay
quiet, for your reply and defense humiliates the God
within both of you. The resistance to reply to each
harsh word depicts your strength to endure. Your
reaction must always reflect the God within you. In
fact, it is only your pride, and the lack of belief of
the God in all, that allows you to reply with a harsh
word. Love can face the bullet and ignore and forget
the pain. Firing the bullet back, will only cause a
painful war, innocent deaths, and the spread of more
evil.
If one is not able to accept your love in a civil
manner, then you must stay away but not resent. If
the person comes back to you to accept your love once
again, you must welcome him, with no complaints of the
past. The grudges you hold will only make you
miserable, cutting the cables of communication with Me
and the world.
When you do not clean your house for a few days, you
accumulate a lot of dust, dirt and garbage that makes
your home foul smelling and unlivable. The house must
be cleaned everyday, so that you can rest in a clean
and a pure, peaceful environment. In the same way,
you must make an attempt to purify your inner selves
each and every moment you live. When you allow the
evils to develop within you, your mind gets restless,
your words become sour, your heart hardens, and your
acts revolve around the "I", making you a very
unpleasant person to be with. Love, my sweet, is the
purifier that cleanses your inner homes where I
reside. Practise love, and remove all this dirt and
garbage that has made you immune.
You have found the heavens, when you have found and
believed in your own divinity. Hell exists, only when
the self is denied. Do not settle for any less than
perfection in your love. You must not and will not
lose when I accompany you in this journey. My love
will give you the strength and motivation to love
others. Once you have tasted the sweetness of the
love of the Lord, sugar will lose its sweetness on
you. When the God within awakens, His love flows, and
guides your thoughts, words and actions. Living in
the comfort of love, is more desirable than any other
worldly possession. The confidence of love is your
biggest security and your most powerful weapon.
Light a flame of love in your hearts and burn in it
all your hatred into ashes. Let this flame be your
light and guide to move forward into a life of
enlightenment. Be sure of refueling, so that the lamp
remains alight, and you are never lost again in the
dark superiority of your egos. The burning of the ego
is the emergence of the divine within.
Take every opportunity to love, and be thankful to
those who give you this opportunity. The need of love
of another from you, is simply your own purification
process in your path to reach Me. No superiority or
inferiority exists in this relationship as both need
each other; for one confirms his faith in God in his
time of need, and the other completes his given task
and realizes his own oneness with God. Both, the
acceptance, and the giving of love with humility and
surrender, are the acts of God. When superiority of
one over the other comes in, then love walks away and
the "pride of pity" comes in. Take whatever you get
as His blessings with thankfullness, and give without
the pain of pride or attachments - the only thing that
belongs to you is God, His love, and His presence in
you, at all times.
You cannot compete or compare love, for then the love
is only a measurement of your egos. Each one's story
of love says its own verse of sacrifice and must not
under any circumstance, be belittled. Praise the love
of others and keep yours a silent secret. In the
silence itself, lies the applause of the Lord.
