Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Thought for the DayAs written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 16th September 2005 God is the embodiment of Love. Love is His nature. Just as God manifests His love in the world, everyone should manifest his love. Prema (Love) has been described as beyond speech and mind; it is said to be Anirvachaneeyam (indescribable). This love cannot be got through scholarship, wealth, or physical powers. God, who is the embodiment of love, can be attained only through love, just as the effulgent Sun can be seen only through its own light. There is nothing more precious in this world than Divine love. God is Gunaatheetha (beyond all attributes). Hence, His love also is beyond attributes. But, human love governed by Gunas (attributes) results in attachment and aversion. Love should not be based on expectations of reward or return. Love based on such expectations makes it a business deal. Love is not an article of commerce. It is not like a lending a loan and getting it back. It is a spontaneous offering. Pure love of this kind can emanate only from a pure heart. - BABA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
