Love - The Royal Road - The Basis of Creation - Part 01

 

If a reason could be given for the purpose of creation, it could be

stated most simply as " Love " . For the Lord to create the cosmos from

the void of pre-time, there must have been a motive of special

significance. Surely just the manifestation of material and

technological marvels was not enough; the creation of men and nations

was not enough. There must have been an element which would justify

and fulfill the creation.

 

Love was the reason and continues to be the justification. It is the

attraction principle of divinity, wherein all creatures find their

common origin and bond. Love is the energy of creation, which

manifests as positive and negative currents. If the polarity of

opposites, all creation came into being and forever afterward seeks

its union. In the return journey to union with spirit, the material

form is purified and transformed into divine love and selflessness.

 

" The basis for the entire world is the prema (Divine Love) of the

Lord. Even if one is able to get by heart the essence of all the

vedas (sacred teachings) and even if one is able to compose poetry in

a very attractive manner, if that person does not have a purified

heart, he is a useless person. What other greater truth can I

communicate to you? " Baba

 

The world is the field in which love grows and is harvested. It is a

battlefield of the senses, where the play of good and evil is acted

out. Love vies aganist the selfish desires of the ego. The reality of

unity struggles to overcome the illusion of separatness. The

experience of selfless love reveals God in the individual and within

all creatures.

 

" Love is the world which indicates the striving to realise the

falsehood of the many and the reality of the one. Love identifies;

hate separates. Love transposes the self on to another and the two

think, speak, and act as one. When love takes in more and more within

its fold, more and more entities are rendered as one. When you love

me, you love all, for you begin to feel and know and experience that

I am in all " Baba

 

Unitive love is the fulfillment of life. It expresses itself as identification

with all, for as we grow in spiritual awareness, we expand the bounds of our

compassion. We start by loving ourselves, then our family, community, and

nation. However, true love is gained only when we see through all false

distinctions. When we see God in all creation, we cease to selectively love only

some and not others. This awareness fulfills life's promise.

 

" The Earth is a great enterprise, a busy factory, where the product is love. By

means of sadhana (spiritual practice), it is possible to produce love and export

it to millioins and millions of people in need of it. The more it is shared, the

deeper it becomes, the sweeter its taste, and the vaster the joy. By means of

love, one can approach God and stay in his presence, for God is love, and when

one lives in love he is living in God " Baba
