Love and Devotion
Divinity in the form of love
enters minds and creates attachment between a person and another. If a mother
shows affection to a child, we should interpret it as an aspect of the Divine
and not just a bodily relationship. This aspect of the Divine present as love in the mother, expresses itself as
affection. When this aspect enters the minds of friends, it takes the shape of
friendship. When this spreads to various objects we like, it takes the form of
desire.
If this aspect is directed towards God, we call it devotion. Because
this love is present in everyone, when we say, “All this is
Divine”, we are stating an irrefutable truth. This is also why we say, “Love is
God, Live in Love.”
We must practice,
“Start the day with
Love, spend the day with Love, fill the day with Love, end the day with Love”,
as this is the way to God.
