But, instead of `I love you,' it would be better to say, `I am love -- I am the embodiment of Pure Love.' Remove the I and you, and you will find that there is only Love. It is as if Love is imprisoned between the I and you. Remove the I and you, for they are unreal; they are self-imposed walls that don't exist... ....Not even worldly love can be forced; what, then, can be said about Divine Love, which is beyond all limitations? ....Love happens when you don't force anything, when you are fully present without any sense of `I and mine' blocking the flow..." - Amma Dear Iswari ~ this whole passage was so beautiful, I made a copy of it to keep. I remember once I told my sister, "I love you." And she said, "oh, you should say, 'I am love,' and that would be better." Now I know that she got it from Amma, but the meaning got lost in the translation because I felt she did not value what I was telling her and only lecturing me. (This is kind of a pattern in our relationship.) But to read it in Amma's own words, it makes so much sense; it is perfect. Thank you for sharing it.
