Love is the very foundation of life. It is the very origin – the most basic expression of existence. Love was before us, and it will survive us. It transcends all experiences, no matter how blissful, and yet it is at the core of all experiences. Without love, even bliss would be stale. Without love, life would be utterly dry.
The entire existence is bound together with love. One who is centered or one-pointed in love can feel or perceive the entire existence. If there is a God, we know God only through love. And if this God is the oneness, then love is the ladder to that oneness. If Grace descends on us, it is only because love has ascended within us. Love flows, so blessings bestow. Love expands, so compassion includes. Love accepts, so mercy forgives. Love surrenders, so bliss penetrates. Love peaks, so devotion integrates. So set on your quest for love, become thirsty for love, quench this longing also with love, and arrive unto knowing with love. If one has to enter the unified stream of consciousness which is life itself – if one has to experience the state of existence which is whole, then one has to climb the ladder of love. Love is the only force that completes the unified aspect of living, so be love-AS LOVE FOREVER Be loved. While we may become aware of our deeper purpose to be love and to love, our experience of life is designed to receive love. Without receiving love, our vessel will always falter. So blessed are they who are fortunate enough to receive the bounty of love from life. From the beginning, it is the mother’s love which enables our quest for understanding of the world without and within. It is the blessing of love from the father that enables our journey to survive and prosper. Our relationships with family and community, if they are of a nurturing and loving quality, are a tremendous support that move us in the direction of fulfillment of life. And love can be the most important ingredient that creates an affirming and open workplace culture. More needs to be done to facilitate the cultivation of love in our work environments. And when humans fail to give love, as they often do, nature can always be relied upon to receive unconditional love. A walk in a garden or forest or by the sea can feel very nurturing because it is filling our vessel with love. Animals are also adept at instantly reciprocating love. Love is enshrined in all of nature – all we have to do is attune ourselves to receive it. If we have managed to fulfill our worldly aspirations with love, received from all those around us, we start seeking and often arrive at the threshold of our life mentor. For they will also seek us when they perceive our sincere seeking. This final meeting with our life mentor has the potential of overflowing our vessel with their unconditional love and overwhelming us with the blessings of life.
