Love - The Royal Road - The Vision of Unity Part 03

 

Saintly men and women reach beyond their own small

worlds to grasp universal values. They seek higher and

further for the principles which benefit all. Their

visions for humanity germinate in hearts full of love.

Their ideals are natured on the milk of truth and the

bread of duty. They grow strong in the shelter of

inner peace. Their strength is inner divinity realized

through a pure heart.

 

The pinnacle of spiritual attainment is realization of

the atma. The qualities of this divine nature are

being consciousness bliss, experienced with divine

love as truth. At the summit of realization, these

qualities meet at a common point, which is beyond

description.So to reach the height of love, one must

also reach the apex of wisdom, sense of duty, and

peace. These qualities are present within each of us,

but are hidden by the dark clouds of egoism. Bhagwan

Sri Sai Baba says that these divine qualities are like

the sun; they always shine within us, but are often

hidden by clouds of selfishness.

 

" The Upanishads say that man is a spark of divine love

encased in five sheaths...That love is ever urging and

surging for expression, enlargement, and enclasping.

But the tangles of fear, greed, egoism, and

aggrandizement do not allow the spark to grow and

illumine the sheaths, as well as the world around "

Baba

 

When we foster divine love within, the dark clouds

disperse. Through love, self-realization is achieved.

When we love God, we will not do anything to remove

ourselves from the source of love. God wields the

instrument of love to transform and reform us into the

image of the divine.

 

" One should not fear God. One must love him so much

that all acts he disapproves are discarded. Fear to do

wrong; fear to hate another; fear losing grace " Baba
