Today's Thought for the Day
17 Sep 2020
Why should the circle of our love always expand and not contract? Bhagawan explains thereby revealing what He means when He says, ‘expansion is My life!’
It
is the Divine Will that operates as Love in each of us. It is He who
prompts the prayer - "Let all the worlds be happy." For, He makes us
aware that the God we adore, the God we love, the God we live by, is in
every other being as Love. Thus Love expands and encompasses all
creation. Looking a little closer, we discover that life itself is Love.
They are not two but one. Love is the very nature of life, as burning
is the nature of fire, or wetness of water, or sweetness of sugar. We
tend a plant only when the leaves are green; when they become dry and
the plant becomes a life-less stick, we stop loving it. Love lasts as
long as life exists. The mother is loved as long as there is life in
her; when life departs, we bury her without the least compunction. Love
is bound with life. In fact, Love is Life. The person with no Love to
share is as bad as dead. This is the reason why love expands in an ever
widening circle.
