Pure Love
59
Dadashri: As long as the ego is present, there can never
be pure love. Ego and pure love cannot co-exist. When does
pure love occur? It is when the ego starts to dissolve and only
when the ego completely disappears, that one becomes an
embodiment of pure love. The embodiment of pure love is the
absolute Self. In the presence of the Absolute Self, The Gnani,
one can receive all kinds of blessings. The Absolute Self is
impartial. It is beyond the scriptures. All the four Vedas say,
‘this is not that’. It is the Gnani Purush that says, ‘this is that!’
The Gnani Purush is pure love and he can give you your Self
right away.
Love Illuminates The Divinity Of The Self
Compassion is a universal intent that is felt everywhere in
this world. It arises out of one’s concern for everyone trapped
in the world’s miseries and how people’s miseries can be
alleviated.
Questioner: I want to know the relationship between
love and compassion.
Dadashri: Love and compassion are different.
Compassion means a generalized awareness of suffering of the
entire humanity. This is a type of grace. Love is different. Love
is the vitamin for the Self. People have taken a lot of vitamins
for the body, but they have never taken the vitamin for the Self.
When one sees pure love, the vitamin, the inner energy of the
Self expresses.
Questioner: Does it not happen naturally Dada?
Dadashri: Naturally.
Questioner: So there is nothing left for the other person
to do?
Dadashri: Nothing at all. This whole path is natural and
spontaneous.
