On the path of love we don’t feel we necessarily have control. In the yoga of love we feel it’s only God who does everything. We can’t breathe one breath without God.
We sit in meditation and cry to God, we cry to the light, as little children, knowing God will do everything for us.
We’re too insignificant and small to really be able to do anything, except cry, not unhappily, but an inner cry, a feeling of reaching to God:.
Go to God, your beloved, and say:.
I would like to love more deeply and purely, more completely, and if it is your will, I will do that, if it is not, I won’t and I’ll accept that. I ’ll just love you as best I can and love everyone as best I can.
Please act in and through me. Please let my love increase, if it is your will. I feel that’s the right thing; but even if it’s not the right thing, I’m willing to abide by your judgment.
In the yoga of love, one has a teacher. It is the teacher whom one loves.
If one has an enlighened teacher and you come to this person with love, they will show you the ways of love.
The relationship between the student and teacher is ultimately important. In higher spirituality we don’t study a subject as much as a person.
The yoga of love is for those who want an all-consuming relationship with their teacher. They see the teacher as an extension of God, of eternity – which all of us are.
If you look deeply inside them you’ll only see eternity; whereas with most human beings, when you look inside, you’ll see all kinds of different things.
It’s far better to love impefectly than not to love at all.
Love is a modest and immodest teacher who will bring you through the school of existence, which is the heart.
Love teaches you to love your own mortality, just as we love the flowers that bloom for a short time and pass on.
There will be a perfect flow of energy in whatever you choose to do, and there will be a grace and power present in all of your movements.
The message of love is self-acceptance in the smaller sense and self-acceptance in the large sense – the Self as eternity.
The reason why we’re not happy is because we believe consciously and subconsciously that we’re separate from god, eternal awareness.
We define a world. We build a house, then after building the house we enter into it and we never leave it.
Whenever we just try to please ourselves, all we do is cover up another window in the little house we’re stuck in.
Whenever we do something for someone else, we affirm that we are not simply in it for ourselves, that our self is someone else, is everyone else.
