Path of love


The religious person is life-affirmative. Nothing looks hostile to him. Even if it appears at times that certain acts of people are being performed due to some misunderstanding, he immediately perceives in him the will of the sporting divine love. He calls it a game of plurality without giving rise to any feeling of enemity and rancor. His affirmation to the existence is absolute and total. He knows that he has not heard the whole song, so some note appears to fall out of line. Since we do not know the whole story, some part of it may look not fitting with the whole. But everything has to be good in the end if it has originated from divine love. God is the guarantee of goodness.


The irreligious person is a no sayer to all that exists. He fights with the whole and tries to prove that he is something special. Ego arises out of disturbance when one is not filled with love. In the absence of love ego is always observed with a need to show the world that it is important. If someone loves us we feel fulfilled. We donot bother about others. If we are not loved we feel a vacuum inside us. We look into the eyes of other to fulfill it. We try to gather crowd around us. Through the crowd the leaders try somehow to fulfill their love need. But power cannot fulfill a love need.


Those who long to enter the temple of love by amassing wealth power and other worldly things always enter as a beggar. Love is an alchemical phenomenon, it can raise one to an emperor. For to love is to become a part of God, to allow love to happen is to float in the ocean of Reality. Ego simply does not exist with love. Love fulfills the heart so deeply that it ceases to yearn for anything else. But if that divine nectar is missing, one will try to fulfill it somehow by becoming great. One will hanker after music, literature and politics, or even one may lead a life of licentiousness and oppression of the weak.
