Thought of the Day
30 Nov 2017
Love can conquer anything.
Selfless, pure, and unalloyed love leads you to God.
- Baba
The
bee hovers around the lotus, it sits upon it, it drinks the nectar;
while drinking the sweet intoxicating honey, it is silent, steadfast,
concentrated, and forgetful of all else. That pure love (prema) is experienced by the inner I, which is the reflection of the real I, your Divine Soul (Atma).
Every individual behaves exactly like the bee when they are immersed in
the presence of God. The hum of the bee ceases and it is silent once
the drinking of the nectar begins. So also, people argue, fight,
condemn, and assert only until they discover the sweet essence of
Divinity (rasa). The Divine rasa or essence is prema rasa, the sweetness of pure love. Where there is love, there can be no fear, no anxiety, no doubt, and no ashanti
(absence of peace). When you are afflicted with restlessness and
agitation, you can be sure that your love is narrow, restricted, and it
has some ego or selfishness mixed in it.
- Divine Discourse, Feb 26, 1968.
