| How do we love all mankind I see the attachments the loves the hates the dreams and see them in my own heart also ,anger stands in my way as I observe my thoughts my expectations of others almost run parallel with the my own ,knowing that in my inner silence they will dissolve but the waiting and the pain the emotion are witnessed but remain all the same ,a straight path but the obstacles are deeper in mind than I could have possible imagined or is this the truth and I must imagine no more and dwell in soul and see all men dwelling in me and waiting for liberation.love love love. |

kumar ul islam - your aspiration to love all mankind is beautiful. If you have the aspiration of unconditional love truly in your heart and you continue to do practices with sincerity, then that aspiration will become the everyday truth for you at the right time and in the right way. The obstacles are only of the mind, and yes, I know from experience how frustrating that is to hear having been stuck in the mind for so very long myself, though I longed as you do to be free and to love without reserve. I would get so angry, so righteous, and even gossip about people. And then, I would wake up to my thoughts and actions chagrined that I could entertainment those feelings and participate in those actions. It was a vicious circle for sure! But that's how the ordinary mind is. It cannot cure itself of those constrictions, those habits.
The only "cure" has been practices, practices, practices. Just keep going and use the desire to love unconditionally as your ishta. Your aspiration is beautiful. Keep it in your heart and breathe, meditate, surrender.

I'm so happy that my post was helpful to you, kumar ul islam.
My teacher used to tell me: Love the barriers themselves.

| I agree with what Zanyan said. Yes, it is just the nature of the mind and we have all experienced it. But with a consistent daily yoga practice, and offering everything up to your ishta, what eventually happens is that more and more divine Love fills you until overflowing and you don't even have to try. Meanwhile it is helpful to behave "as if" you love everyone, treat others as you would want to be treated, and gradually the inner and outer will line up. I hope that makes sense! God bless you. |
