LOVE IS THE INNER AWAKENING TO REALITY
Love is one of the few words that has been widely used, misused and abused in the world. From love towards the Divine to love of the Carnality is a broad spectrum that appears before us when we hear this word and many a time I have a loathsome feeling when such a sound touches my ears. I am no hater of genuine concern, sympathy, empathy, service, sacrifice, compassion. I pray for those beautiful and divine qualities to express through this medium of His existence more and more as the days advance and seek for that divine embrace when love will find its summit expression in my total annihilation.
I would rather pray like the seer of the Shvetashvatara Upanishad:
―May the Lord of Love, who projects himself Into this universe of myriad forms,
From whom all beings come and to whom all Return, grant us the grace of wisdom.
He is fire and the sun, and the moon
