96 THE PATH OF LOVE
pany, even without your constantly feeling it, till the end of your
life, that both in happiness and in suffering gives you company
and never turns against you, then you will know Me.
7. CONTROL THROUGH LOVE . . .
When your love for Me drives away your lust for the things of
the senses, then you realize Me.
8. SELFLESS SERVICE . . .
If you have the quality of selfless service unaffected by results,
similar to that of the sun which serves the world by shinning on
all creation, on the grass in the field, on the birds in the air, on
the beasts in the forest, on all mankind with its sinner and its
saint, its rich and its poor, unconscious of their attitude towards
it, then you will win Me.
9. RENUNCIATION . . .
If you renounce for Me everything physical, mental and spiritual,
then you have Me.
10. OBEDIENCE . . .
If your obedience is spontaneous, complete and natural as the
light is to the eye or smell is to the nose, then you come to Me.
11. SURRENDER . . .
If your surrender to Me is as wholehearted as that of one, who,
suffering from insomnia, surrenders to sudden sleep without fear
of being lost, then you have Me.
12. LOVE . . .
If you have that love for Me that St. Francis had for Jesus, then
not only will you realize Me, but you will please Me.
