Love waits within … ( 10 / 02 / 2011 )

“ Often I say : Learn the art of Love . And yet what I really mean when I say this is : Learn the art of removing all that hinders Love … It is like digging a well — you go on removing layers of roots and earth and stones , and then suddenly there is water . The same water was always there , of course . It was always available , you simply removed the barriers that were obscuring it from view …
So it is with Love .
Love is the undercurrent of your being . It is flowing within and through you in every moment of your life . And yet there are many roots and earth and stones within you that must be removed before it can flow freely again .
That ’ s what I mean when I say : Learn the art of Love . It is not really a learning of Love , but rather an un-learning of the ways of un-Love .” ~ inspired by Chaitanaya Keerti
To be truly Happy , we must choose to access Love . And to access this Love , we must be willing to “ excavate ” our ego ’ s fears and desires …
And what the best tool for engaging such a digging ?
… a courageously radical , fully fear-defying , completely vulnerable , all-out Act of Kindness .
