Part 2- Finite understanding of infinite love

 Way back in 2009, I had written about my finite understanding of the infinite love. 

https://towardsultimate.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-finite-understanding-of-infinite.html

Coming up with the part 2 now. 

Love is both the journey and destination.

Love is both the beginning and the end.

Love is the amalgamation of being and doing.

Love is the will that binds thoughts and actions.

In solitude, peace. But peace is boring without love.

Love emerges from within the heart but you need a company for love to manifest itself to the mind.

What is human life without giving and receiving love? Rumi says " Our task is not merely to seek love, but to remove all the barriers we have built against it".

The greatest barrier to a loving heart is the lack of reciprocation.

How to handle the souls who are not sensitive to the love we pour on them ?

Never let the lack of reciprocation of insensitive soul to stop your flow of love.

A flower does not stop blooming or radiating its fragrance just because someone is not admiring it.

So too learn to love without condition you never know when  sensitive souls will come across your path.

A gardner who sows hundred seeds knows that not all the hundred seeds would turn into mighty tree,but his job is to sow the seeds. So too our job is to let love flow through us. We don't need to worry about who will drink of it or how much. Love will always find its destiny.

We have no control on who is sensitive to our love, or even if they are will they reciprocate, even if they reciprocate how long they will be with us in this journey.We have no control on who was , who is and who will be with us. The right ones will come into our lives sooner or later. 

A gardner who wants a tree is not judgemental about the seeds. His job is to sow and nurture all the seeds in the same way. A gardner who wants three trees does not sow just three seeds. So too if we want to enjoy the flow of love eternally we need to practice Universal love with equality and without judgement.

First step towards universal love is sacrifice and the next step is Service.

Babuji says" Sacrifice means not hurting others. Service means constantly thinking good for others".

To end it in Rumi's way :- "Wherever you are, Whatever you do be in love"

" Love is the link between you and everything".
