Love is the essence of the universe. Love in action is service.
Love is a bridge over the sea of change. Do not build a house on it.
When this love, the heavenly gift of Nature, appears in the heart, it removes all causes of excitation from the system and cools it down to a perfectly normal state; and invigorating the vital powers, expels all foreign matters—the germs of diseases—by natural ways (perspiration and so forth). It thereby makes man perfectly healthy in body and mind, and enables him to understand properly the guidance of Nature.
True, this world of ours is full of hatred and disbelief, but that is no reason why we should not love and why we should not believe. We must love and believe in order to empty the hatred-sea.
Gratitude is the creative force, the mother and father of love. It is in gratitude that real love exists. Love expands only when gratitude is there. Limited love does not offer gratitude. Limited love is immediately bound by something—by constant desires or constant demands. But when it is unlimited love, constant love, then gratitude comes to the fore. This love becomes all gratitude.
Happiness is within. Joy is within. Love is within. The kingdom of heaven is within. But we are searching outside.
Only thoughts of God and intense love for Him bring peace.
Even if you win in ego it is a loss. Even if you lose in love it is a victory.
If you love money and you want to be creative, you cannot become creative. The very ambition for money is going to destroy your creativity. If you want fame, then forget about creativity. Fame comes easier if you are destructive.
I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion--and where it isn't, that's where my work lies.
Happiest is he who expects no happiness from others. Love delights and glorifies in giving, not receiving. So learn to love and give, and not to expect anything from others.
The Path of Love is not a tedious Path. It's a Path of joy. It's a Path of singing and dancing. It's not a desert. It is a valley of flowers.
Even if a person hurts you, give him love. The worst punishment is to throw someone out of your heart... You should love everyone as God, and love each other. If you cannot love each other, you cannot achieve your goal.
Take some time off to go within, in silence. With that, your charm becomes eternal, your love becomes unconditional & great strength arises.
We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs in a heart that is in LOVE WITH GOD.
Even Kings and emperors with heaps of wealth and vast dominion cannot compare with an ant filled with the love of God.
If you are a taker of happiness you get misery, if you are a giver of happiness you get joy and love.
Prayer in action is love, and love in action is service. Try to give unconditionally whatever a person needs in the moment. The point is to do something, however small, and show you care through your actions by giving your time ... Do not worry about why problems exist in the world - just respond to people's needs ... We feel what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, but that ocean would be less without that drop.
If we have love and compassion in our hearts, then we will wholeheartedly serve those who suffer from lack of food, clothing and shelter.
You can't make love without art.
When you know beyond all doubting that the same life flows through all that is, and you are that life, you will love all naturally and spontaneously.
Love must express itself as service.
I believe that You, O Jesus, are in the most holy Sacrament. I love You and desire You. Come into my heart. I embrace You. Oh, never leave me. May the burning and most sweet power of Your love, O Lord Jesus Christ, I beseech You, absorb my mind that I may die through love of Your love, Who were graciously pleased to die through love of my love.
Life is love, enjoy it. Life is mystery, know it. Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Real love is the complete absence of any negative feelings towards anyone.
