Words of Love...

"Learning how to love is the goal and the purpose of spiritual life — not learning how to develop psychic powers, not learning how to bow, chant, do yoga, or even meditate, but learning to love. Love is the truth. Love is the light."Lama Surya Das in Awakening to the Sacred

"Let us make a pledge that, if not all day or all night long, at least for a few moments every day, we will make an effort to experience love, love that is free from selfishness, free from desire, free from expectation, love that is complete freedom." Swami Chidvilasananda in Kindle My Heart

"Let the good in me connect with the good in others, until all the world is transformed through the compelling power of love."Rebbe Nachman of Breslov in The Gentle Weapon

"Hatred ever kills; love never dies. Such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality, for it increases hatred. The duty of a human being is to diminish hatred and to promote love."Mahatma Gandhi quoted in The Way to God edited by M. S. Desphande

"Love is the cure,
for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain
until your eyes constantly exhale love
as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.”
- Rumi

Happy Valentine's Day, friends...

It feels really good to have a reminder today about the real substance of love - how love is present in everything we do and everyone that we connect with.

Thank you!

Happy Love Day to you too. : )
