Distribute Love from One to All

Intellectual scholarship is not very essential for a spiritual aspirant. Develop bliss not by merely mastering difficult scriptures but by cultivating love which begins in your very own home and family, and spreads to all creatures in the Universe.

Put down the sharp edged weapon that seeks to analyse and chop the arguments of the opponent, cutting the other's point of view to pieces. Take the delicacy of love and distribute it to one and all; win over recalcitrant hearts and give joy to all.
That is the path of love, along which I shall lead you and guide you. God knows your name, your degrees, profession, status and past, and reveals Himself to you many times, only to satisfy you and give you a glimpse of His love, so that you can mix it with a little of your own and make your life joyful.

Baba (thought for the day)

 

Develop bliss by cultivating love in our own home and family. It sounds easy if it would not be difficult. 

Maybe it is only in the beginning difficult, we remember that the Devas and the Assuras (demons) were churning the milk ocean of the universe and first was not nectar, but poison emerging from it and Lord Shiva was drinking that poison. Therefore, I guess in the beginning we just have to go through that stage of poison, whatever, we don't lose hope at least we did our best, we hope, even if that beginning stage never seems to end.

Love and the cultivation of it. 
 

My father had a carnation culture and I remember how much care it needed until they were flowers and could be sold at the market. 
The worst was always during winter time as usually the power went out during holidays and it was very difficult and a question of hours only to make sure that it would not everything be lost and for nothing all that work and cultivation of flowers, it could be destroyed in an instant, because of no heat, until later he had some emergency power supplier.

Or during summer time, we watched fearful the dark clouds of the thunder storm and the sky, we worried with him that it could become hale later on and we never knew if all that work would not be destroyed in an instant and everybody was running putting wood covers on all the glass to make sure, that it was safe at least. But that could not be done with the big greenhouses and there was the most of energy and money and time involved.
 

I still look out today for yellow spots at the dark sky, as it is a sign of hale in the air, as it could in an instant destroy the flower cultures and all that work done for so long. The big greenhouses, for them were no wooden covers and we were at the mercy of the weather. 

The cultivation of good qualities seems to be similar.

First we have to cultivate that love, before we are able to distribute it.

 

"Each time you are breathing cause your breath to become like liquid and cause your breath to become All that Is. 

The vision of my body is coming from inside your breath. The sound of My Voice is coming from inside your breath. All things emanate from inside your breath." Mafu

 

If we listen to the sound we can hear the ocean in the right ear and it is the OM, that is the kind of focus and there is nothing else but 'that', but what does it mean in our understanding. It is eternal presence and living in the now.
