Love is selfless when it’s given simply to please another without any expectation of return. Selfless love is offered in a spirit of gratitude, enthusiasm, and courage. It gives one the kind of inner satisfaction that makes all selfish pleasures pale by comparison.
Actually, when your heart is pained to see the suffering of others, it awakens actual spiritual ecstasy. Why? As it is pleasing Krishna, and we are sharing Krishna’s spirit of love in a mood of servitude.
Love is the most satisfying way to control the mind…Bhakti makes us single-minded when it awakens our innate spirit of love.
If our desires, words and actions are offered in the spirit of service to the supreme Lord Sri Krishna, then Krishna will personally reciprocate with His love.
Wherever we find the teachings, the association, and the inspiration to purify our lives, to lead a life of integrity and humility, and to live in a spirit of selfless service that’s where we are going to find the deepest experience of God.
