Why should the circle of our love always expand and not contract?
It is the Divine Will that operates as Love in each of us.
It is He who prompts the prayer - "Let all the worlds be happy." For, He makes us aware that the Divine we adore, the Divine we love, the Divine we live by, is in every other being as Love.
Thus, Love expands and encompasses all creation.
Looking a little closer, we discover that life itself is Love. They are not two but one.
Love is the very nature of life, as burning is the nature of fire, or wetness of water, or sweetness of sugar.
We tend a plant only when the leaves are green; when they become dry and the plant becomes a life-less stick, we stop loving it.
Love lasts as long as life exists.
The mother is loved as long as there is life in her; when life departs, we bury her without the least compunction.
Love is bound with life. In fact, Love is Life. The person with no Love to share is as bad as dead. This is the reason why love expands in an ever widening circle.
- Divine Discourse, Dec 25, 1981.
You are all caskets of Divine Love; share it, spread it, express that love in acts of service,
words of empathy and acts of compassion.
