Love

[guest587]

Thanks Steve.

I've heard this somewhere before.. =)

Love really simplifies things, doesn't it? And so does the realization of our mortality.

[Jitendra Hydonus]

We can lose ourselves helping others…. We can lose ourselves being in love with others.

So I just wonder about love most of my waking hours. How does it arise? How can I nourish it? Where does it arise? And can we be emerged in it?

I’m just chasing after dreams. But still in me is a longing to find that divine love that once tasted, leaves an unquenchable desire to taste of its nectar again and again. I see many people who have karma that saddens me. They are seeking, seeking, seeking, but though they say it’s for something more it is often for the acquisition of more ‘things’ or more money. They really have not begun the search for something deeper that goes beyond material satisfaction. But it is something we must all go through; the slow relinquishing of our desires to make room for something more expansive.

The love you experience is proportional to the love you give.~Amma

I think love is an unfolding exploration.

[Jitendra Hydonus]

“Don't mix with others too closely. Friendships do not satisfy us unless they are rooted in mutual love for the Lord. Our human wish for loving understanding from others is in reality the soul's desire for unity with God. The more we seek to satisfy that desire outwardly, the less likely we are to find the Divine Companion.”

~ Paramahansa Yogananda
