Love Universal
3. Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we have learned here from our environment physical, mental, vital and spiritual. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment – or unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. Love is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. The prayer prescribed by the Mater to be performed at 9 P.M. for development of love and devotion to Master among all the people in this world is of paramount importance for the spiritual seeker. Love is the connecting factor and without love we feel segregated and uncared for. Master as embodiment of love and peace is enshrined in our hearts. To be aware of His august presence in all our acts, feelings and thoughts is what constant remembrance about.
4. Master in his book Efficacy of Rajayoga makes profound statements about the upper and lower portions of the heart. It is clear to us that our self is between the body and mind. It is between the human animal and the spiritual being. It is between earth and heaven. The heart chakra is the meeting point between energies from the earth and energies from the higher regions. It is the ideal position to be in as we are assured of the company of the Divine there. Therefore being centered in the heart, being open to love flowing in and out, being Love itself is the Natural Path. That is what is meant by following the Middle Path.
