Analyzing never

“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.
