The
more one loves one's fellow beings, the greater would be the
Bliss that one enjoys. The more you love others, the happier
you would be. Therefore, if you wish to be constantly happy,
you must always love all. Love is the Royal Path to God. The
best way to God is to love all and serve all.
Everyone wants to be happy. Such a desire is natural and
it springs from the fact that man's true nature is Bliss.
Bliss is the Form of God but man does not understand that.
He does not understand that he has originated from God, that
life's undercurrent is God, and that his final destination
also is God. Bliss should be the goal, and one must seek it
in all earnestness. The human body is temporary; hence, the
pleasure that it can give is also fleeting. One must therefore
seek that which is permanent, that is God, or, what is the
same thing, Bliss.
It is meaningless to seek Bliss by way of instruments such
as the sense organs that are impermanent. The body can give
only bodily pleasure, and the Mind can at best give mental
satisfaction. But these do not represent Bliss; Divine Love
alone is Bliss. This Love Principle is present not only in
man but also in all beings, birds and beasts included. Therefore,
one has to place the same value on the lives of all beings.
Share the love latent within you with not only fellow human
beings but also with all the creatures in Nature. That is
the True Universal Love Principle. Such Principle alone should
be the basis of one's life.
The Path of True Love alone can take you unfailingly to God
and confer Permanent Bliss. Bodies may be different but the
God within all bodies is the same. There is a man who is addressed
as father by his son. The daughter-in-law calls him father-in-law,
while the grandchildren call him grandfather. The individual
is the same but the manner in which different people address
him varies. Similarly the same God is given different names
by the followers of different religions; they hail Him as
Allah, Jesus, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, and so on. Though the
names vary, God is one and the same. Therefore, there is really
no room for dispute between people belonging to different
religions. You may address God by the name of your choice
but all calls go to the same destination. Goal is one and
God also is one.
Scholarship will not protect or redeem you; only Pure Love
can. Pure Love is like a well- paved, one-way road with no
speed breakers. You can rush along it to God at whatever speed
you want. Overcoming all obstacles, you must keep rushing
towards God. That must be the characteristic of your spiritual
journey.
