Love implies endless sacrifice. Love calls for giving always and never take.

Dear all,

I attempt to recall some quotes on love. I am interspersing them with my own thoughts here and there. It is a jumble.

1. Love implies endless sacrifice. Love calls for giving always and never take. Without understanding, love can not exist. Selflessness is love. Love is eternal.Pure love has no motives. Love is not love, if does not serve and sacrifice.

2. Love is the easiest and smoothest way towards self-surrender or sublimation of ego.

3. Love is its own end; love can never be the means.

4. Love is law of life. Love binds, love makes for oneness.

5. Love is the highest ideal.

6. In human relations, perfect love is very rare. Ordinarily human love is seen to flourish only in places where it is returned. Love creates and lust destroys the peace in the heart of man.

Q: What should I follow, my interest or passion?

Guruji: Passion’s drive is the biggest drive in us. But it should be placed in the right place. So your passion should go through the filter of your intellect and your wisdom. Then it will work miracles for you.

=========================

In order to seek perfection, look at perfection, everywhere in creation. In creation, every step is perfect, every object is perfect, everything has its own place. When one does this, then grumbling and complaining mind stops, and rests peacefully.

=========================

Yoga brings equilibrium in the mind. When you can do any action with mindfulness, you are aware of what you are saying or doing, this makes you a yogi.
