Love

An irresistible force

February 22nd 2022
Someone comes and asks me, ‘Why am I always unhappy? Why am I not successful?’ I tell them, ‘It is simply because you have no love.’ ‘How can you say that I have no love?’ ‘Look, if you were full of love, nothing could resist you because when you have love you do not just stand there doing nothing.’ ‘But I am ill!’ ‘Exactly! You are ill because you do not love.’ ‘What has love got to do with my health?’ ‘If you loved health it would have been yours long ago. The answer is that you are ill because you do not really love health.’ When you learn to love what is good and beautiful, and when you live with this love day and night, no force in the universe will be able to resist you. Nothing is stronger than love; love created the world, and all the forces of creation are subject to love.
