Wisdoms from the Journey - Vol III (Sep - Oct 2011)

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.
