Reflections On True Love

Reflections On True Love

Love is a golden mansion in which the king of Eternity homes the entire family of creation.And at gods command love is a mystic fire that can melt the grossness of the cosmos into the invisible substance of eternal love.Like a river love flows continuously through humble sincere souls but it bypass the rocks or egoistic selfish sense bound souls because it cannot pass through them.

Feeling a healthy love for oneself is the first step a person takes towards finding love and happiness in his/her life. The first ripple of love must rise in your heart. When a stone is thrown in a lake it creates ripples around it, the ripples then spread beyond the stone and towards distant shores. Similarly the first ripples of love in your heart will spread into different spheres; you will love your body, your entire being, your totality of existence. If you love, you will go on showering yourself; you will go on nourishing yourself. And if you love yourself, you will be surprised; others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself. If you cannot even love yourself, who else is going to take the trouble?. Love is an omnipresent spring with countless founts.When one of its heart openings is clogged with the debris of wrong behavior we find it surging from some other heart.But to think love is dead in any heart is ignorance of the omnipresence of love.One should never block with wrong actions or thoughts the channel of love in his own soul.Then he will drink with countless mouths of soul feeling from the divine fountain of love coursing endlessly through all the open hearts.

Love may exist in the presence of passion, but passion is mistaken for love, love flies away.Passion & love together are bittersweet mixed drink that produces some joy but mostly an after sorrow.When pure love is quaffed the taste for passion loses itself in the sweetness of true feeling.

Droplets of love sparkle in true souls but in spirit alone is found the sea of love.To expect perfection in human love is folly unless one seeks to perfect that love by feeling within it gods love, thats what I seek to do.Find gods love first then with his love, I try to love whatever or whomever I like.

I do not limit my love to one being however lovable to the exclusion of all else to me personally.

Rather with the love you feel for the one you love most , you try to love all things or beings including the one you love.When you try to imprison omnipresent love in the form of one soul ( that i always avoided even though i had desire for it & sometimes expressed in poetry to fulfill itself), it will escape and play hide and seek with you until you find it in every soul.To me there is no difference between one person and another; I behold all as soul-reflections of the one God. I can't think of anyone as a stranger or special, for I know that we are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning of religion, which is to know God, you will realize that He is your Self, and that He exists equally and impartially in all beings. Then you will be able to love others as your own Self.Increase the intensity and spiritual quality of the love you feel for one or a few souls and give that love to all.then you will know what Jesus or Krishna's love is.

Love is wonderfully blind for it dwells not on the flaws of the beloved but loves unconditionally through eternity when souls qualities develop.When dear ones are parted by death, mortal memory may fail due to sickness or ill health to recall the pledges of love they made, but true lover never forgets not does it die.for incarnations it escapes from the heart of one form and enters that of another,pursuing the beloved, fulfilling all its promises until the emancipation of those souls in eternal love.

Grieve not for the lost love,whether it is through death, disease or fickle fluctuations of human nature.Love itself is never lost,but just plays hide and seek with you in many hearts that is pursuing it you might find its ever greater manifestations.It will keep hiding from you and disappointing you until you have quested long enough to find its abode in the one who resides in the deepest recesses of your own soul and in the hearts of everything, then you will say: Oh lord when I resided in the house of mortal consciousness, I thought I loved my parents and my friends, I fancied I loved birds, beasts, possessions.But now that I have moved in the mansion of omnipresence, I know it is thee alone I loved who manifested as parents f friends lovers husbands wives children & all other creatures and all things.By loving thee alone my heart expanded to love the many.By being loyal in my love to thee,I am loyal to all I love.

I see life on earth as only a scenic backdrop behind which my loved ones hide at death.As I love the when they are before my eyes, so does my love will flow them with my ever watching mental gaze when they move elsewhere behind deaths screen.

Those whom I have loved I could never hate,even though they grow uninteresting through ugly behavior.In my museum of recollections, I can still behold those traits that caused me to love them.Beneath the temporary mental masks those whose behavior I don't appreciate sometimes, I see the perfect love of my great beloved,even as I see it in those worthy souls that I love.To stop loving is to stem the purifying flow of love.Its not something personal I seek when I used to when I was ignorant. It now I that I am love loyally every being everything until I find all races all creatures all animate and inanimate objects embraced by my love.I will love until every soul, every star every forsaken creature every atom is logged in my heart, for in the infinite love of god my breast of eternity is large enough to hold everything in me.

O love I see thy glowing face in the gems.I behold thy shy blush in the blossoms.I am entrapped hearing thee warble in the birds.And I dream in ecstasy when my heart embraces thee in all hearts.O love I met thee in all beings--only a little and for a while but in omnipresence I clasp thee entirely and forever and I rejoice in thy evermore.
