Guest guest Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Love unfolds first on the lap of the mother. The eyes of love fasten themselves on her caressing face. It then spreads towards the father, brothers and sisters, kith and kin, friend and playmate, region and language, world and its Maker. The 'I' that lives within the body is like a lion in a cave. it is the monarch of the forest, but it limits itself to the few square feet of rocky floor. Let it come out, renouncing the petty possession. So long as you crib yourselves into the bodyconsciousness ("I am the body"), you are like the lion moping in the musty cave! Do not feel, "I am the body!" Roar, "I am the Universal Absolute. I am all this and more. I am all this is, was, and will be." Then littleness, time, space, ego---all will flee from your heart! You will be Love, Love, Love, and nought else. That is to say, you will be Divine, one with the One! Move out, clasp, spread, expand, give up limits of mine and thine, his and theirs, caste and creed, in one limitless flow of Love. That is the culmination of all spiritual saadhana. Competition, the desire to defeat and overwhelm the other person, whatever the means necessary for his downfall, the greed to earn wealth, fame, superiority--- these have put out the map of Love in the human heart again.
