Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Sai Ram! ..dear Brothers , Sisters and Others..... We all celebrate and enjoy (who doesn't ??) and cherish "Valentine's day"... ( either overtly or covertly !! ) Just yesterday ...a fellow Sai devotee - who is always cheerful... came over to my villa ...with a flustered look. On probing , he revealed that in keeping with the Valentine Spirit ..and Lord Jesus's teachings ( "Love thy neigbour..." ) ....he told his neighbour that he loves them as much as he loves himself ! I replied that it was very good of him to cultivate such an attitude ...at a time ...when neighbours are generally tooo busy in themselves ...and hardly interact with each other! But then he said that it included his neighbour's 'dynamic' wife too ! ...which of course was not taken kindly by her husband...who showered a few expletives on him !!! Now... the moot point is ...this celebration is based on "selfish love" ... But Beloved Swami says that ...our "Love should always be towards all" ! ...without "EGO" . Then...there ain't gonna be any "selfishness" in it . It would then be "Pure"...and based on "Daiva Preethi" ( Divine love) ! After all u and i are NOT different ...from Any body else ! ( as the Energy principle i mean !) ---although we "appear to be different" !! So Beloved BABA (SWAMI)... indubitably is ' Our eternal Valentine' ...and we may rather celebrate the beautiful occasion based on "Platonic love" ( in lieu of expressing "mundane love" to "perishable matter " !!) Warm Regards, Ram RAM RAM Thank you & God bless.
