Hate and love

How can someone love
Who hates others
When his thoughts are bad
Even wishes others to be dead

As long as the heart is not pure
It cannot truly love
It is overshadowed by the mind

The appearance of the mind to love
Is subdued by fluctuations
In the wind of changing situations

Mind: the weather of our feelings
Heart: inner luminosity of unconditional love

Easily said…

 

How often we take words
Of beauty in our mouth
Copy them even from others
But do we live up to them?

We use words like “unconditional love”
For this our mind needs to be pure
Crystal clear, no dirt, no spot in it
Can we really claim, our mind is pure?

Frankly, I can’t, for this we have to know
All the tricks of our mind
And it is a trick of our mind
To make us say: we are pure in our mind

If our mind says: I am a good person
I love unconditionally, I am free from violence
If we claim this from ourselves
We should be alarmed at once

Our mind takes a certain attitude
Plays with us, with our feelings
Even with our reasoning
Pressing the stamp of appearance on us

In the end we believe it
Do not control it
Stay in a state
Between clouds and light…

Can we really love unconditionally?…
Can our dress really stay clean
When working in a coal mine?

Love is no business

Our love is rather a business
A barter business
Of giving and taking

Love does not expect
But we expect to be loved
Attach conditions to it

We hope for salvation
And are like beggars
But true love does not beg

When we love God
We only want to be with Him
And are happy without a wish

Love gives, it does not take
It sacrifices and shares
It is the essence of God

Love serves all people
That is unconditional love
Not just by words, but by deeds…

Qualities of Love

 

 

Selfless service
Unconditional giving and sharing
Deep sincerity
Yearning to be One
In the garden of love

Thinking of the Beloved
Heart-filling, permanently
With true devotion
Rays of sunlight
Turning into sunshine

Two hearts become one
Adopt the colour of unity
Smell of roses and jasmine
Timeless togetherness
Life in love

In thankfulness to God
My love to Him
As He resides
In all and everything
To love God in everyone…
