Pure Love
old child will understand what real love is. That is called love.
Everything else is infatuation and attraction.
Love is that which does not increase or decrease under
any circumstance. All else is an illusion. And such language is
also an illusion.
Enmity Is Borne Out Of Attraction And
Infatuation
The world has seen everything except love. What the
world calls love, is really infatuation and attraction, and it is
because of this infatuation and attraction that these problems
arise.
People believe that the world is being sustained through
love, but that is not so. It has arisen and is being sustained
through hate. There is no foundation of love at all. It has arisen
on the foundation of hate and vengeance. That is why I tell you
to get rid of your hatred and settle all your accounts with
equanimity.
The Lord says that internal difficulties that arise out of
abhorrence are beneficial. One can never be free of internal
difficulties that arise out of worldly love. The whole world is
trapped in such difficulties. So do not become too attached to
people. Keep your distance. Do not have worldly love for
anyone and do not be trapped by his or her worldly love. But
you will not be liberated if you spurn someone else’s love either.
Beware! If you want to be liberated, be thankful to those who
oppose and contradict you. Those who shower worldly love on
you bind you and those who oppose you, help you towards
your final liberation. You have to free yourself from those who
shower you with love, but make sure that you do not reject
them in the process. It is through rejection of worldly love that
this whole world has arisen.
