Love is the Heart of Religion

Once upon a time, when the Source took human form, a divine discourse was given. At the end of that discourse, there was a lull in the proceedings. Source returned to the podium, to the microphone and told, “I am a devotee! I am a devotee of all those who are devoted to Me!” Imagine, that this very somebody is just next to you and is ready to present you with His love and everything that He’s got available.


In your Western culture, you do not understand the meaning of prayer well enough, whereas it is very powerful. It purifies spiritually and sublimates, and sometimes leads to diverting the course of events. Prayer is the meeting of God and man, meeting at the verge of Infinity. It is encounter with love and devotion. God is the essence of Truth, Goodness and Beauty. This is why it is worth getting closer and closer to Him through prayer full of love.

 

Imagine someone, who is extremely tender and loving, who looks at you and your actions with incredible goodness, who accepts and loves; somebody, to whom all existing beings in all times pray to. Wonderful angels, beings full of effulgence and inner glory are looking with unceasing affection in face of This, in Whom everything has origin, and Who, staying in the limelight is at the same time a paragon of modesty and devotion. Imagine, that this very somebody is just next to you and is ready to present you with His love and everything that He’s got available. When you think thus, you are indeed very, very close to the truth. You are in heaven with Him. Love is heart of religion. Love is a song of existence and gratefulness that moves hearts. Thankfulness for life, for love, for all good, which flows from the most loving Highest, who constitutes an exemplar to everybody.

 

Our Father and Mother, we descended from Your Love. Pray, show us the path to Yourself, so that we can rest in Your loving arms for ever. Lead us through life so that we can carry out your loving injunctions. Please, develop in us an inclination to listening to your voice and submissively following it. Confer on us and on all other beings your blessings of love, joy and happiness.

 


lasting change comes when we turn to God with love for God.
