Thoughts on Love
If you love another for his or her gross and external qualities alone, that love is of the lowest type.
But if you love the other knowing that it is the life principle alone in the other that you love, then that love becomes sublime.
And lastly, if you love the other knowing that it is that which transcends the attributes - body, senses and mind - that you love, there the otherness vanishes at once. That love is the most sublime, and is the Absolute itself.
Your love is directed only to the real substratum or Self. You happen to love the qualities in one, simply because they belong to the substratum you love. You love, because love is the real nature of the real Self and you cannot help loving even for a moment.
Genuine love absorbs everything into you, and then duality dies. But in conditioned love, or gratitude, duality persists in giving and taking.

Dear Nandhiji, hope you're doing well.
I am going to Tiruvannamalai this month. If you could point the way toward saints who live there that would be of great help for me. I'd appreciate it a lot.
Love,
Ananda |
