“ Once Satan and his demon sidekick were walking down the street , closely watching a man 20 yards ahead who was on the verge of realizing the Supreme Truth . The demon grew worried , and began to nudge Satan , but Satan looked quite calm . Sure enough , the man did , in fact , soon realize the deepest spiritual Truth , yet Satan still did nothing about it .
With this , the demon nudged Satan harder and , getting no response , finally blurted out , “ Satan ! Don ’ t you see ? That man has realized the Truth ! And yet you are doing nothing to stop him !” With that , Satan cunningly smiled and announced , “ Yes , he has realized the Truth . And now I am going to help him organize it !” ~ from Jiddu Krishnamurti
Love ( a . k . a .“ the Truth ”) only blossoms when it is courageously enacted , not merely discussed or pondered or analyzed or “ felt ” … For most of my own life , I chose to learn about Love or talk about Love or think about Love — somehow believing that these would magically lead me to experience Love — until one day I threw all the teachings & the discussions & the ponderings away , and just went out there and radically Cared ; went out there and extended my vulnerable Self to those very folks I was most afraid of , in the very situations where I least wanted to do so …
And that is how I came to truly Know LOVE .
