What is the highest Spiritual Practice?
Where there is Love, there the Divine is certainly evident.
Love more and more people, love more and more intensely; transform the love into service and transform the service into worship - that is the highest spiritual practice.
There is no living being without the spark of love; even a mad man loves something or somebody intensely. But you must recognise this love as but a reflection of the Embodiment of Love that is your reality, the Divine who is residing in your heart.
Without that spring of Love that bubbles in your heart, you will not be prompted to love all.
Recognise that spring, rely on it more and more, develop its possibilities, try to irrigate the whole world with it, discard all touch of self from it, and do not seek anything in return for it from those to whom you extend it.
In your daily affairs, do not create factions, or revel in hatred. See the good in others and the faults in yourselves.
Revere others as having the Divine installed in them; revere yourself also as the seat of the Divine.
Make your heart pure so He can reside therein.
- Divine Discourse Mar 26, 1965.
Practice the vocabulary of love – unlearn the language of hate and contempt.
