A loving word, a compassionate look, a simple good deed — all these can bring light to the lives of the less fortunate as well as to your own. It is not what you gain, but what you are able to give that determines the value of your life. If you have been able to give happiness to a soul — even for a minute — it makes your life blessed. Love gives everything; there is no thought of receiving.
Love has no complaints; it accepts all. Love removes all fears; it transforms all ugliness into beauty. Because love is the real refuge, it is the beauty of life.
Love is the spring of life; it makes it ever new and fresh. Love is the expression of the Self. It is the thread on which all beings are strung. When love awakens in a person, the divinity in him or her also awakens for love is God; it is the manifestation of the divine.
How does love create oneness?
In love, there are never two. We feel a river to have two banks only because of the water in between. If the water of the ego dries up, only oneness remains.
When love awakens, the ego disappears. Then, human beings realise their oneness with each other. One realises his or her oneness with the whole of creation. Divine love is knowledge, liberation and bliss.
When we become filled with that divine love, we are able to see God in everything, and that itself is the ultimate fulfilment.
