Love, true
Reward given to those who have learned to rise to the divine source
February 17th 2015
Humans experience love as a feeling, a passion, or even at times as a delirium, an illness – even an incurable illness! True love is none of these things: it is a state of consciousness we arrive at only when we have walked the path of inner development for a long time.
True love is the reward given to those who understand that, in order to be completely happy, they must move closer each day to the world of purity, harmony and light – the world of God himself. And since God is the source of love, when they make the effort to raise themselves up to him they receive the greatest gift of all: they begin to feel they can extend their love to the whole world, to all creatures and all of creation. They no longer focus their attention and thoughts exclusively on one human creature, expecting this person to satisfy their wishes and needs, an expectation that leads inevitably to suffering and disappointment. Each day they move closer to divine love, the only love that can fill their heart and soul.
