Towards Meditative Living

Transformations you will see

(continuation from earlier post)

Love for no reason

With meditation, one strange thing you will start experiencing is Love!

People are prepared for all kinds of miracles, they are ready to receive visions, to have the darshan of all their favorite deities and whatnot. But they are least prepared for the miracle of love!

You will be amazed to find how much love arises and floods your being when you enter into meditation. Through meditation, you will experience some awakening, some level of your being that you haven’t touched before. You will want to share your joy with everyone you meet! This joy will overflow from you as love.

And just like freedom, this love is different from any love you have ever experienced before.

All our lives, we have been giving and taking our selfish little loves. All our life, we have loved and been loved for a reason. Either consciously or unconsciously, you love for a reason. Even in your most intimate relationships, even between husband and wife, between parents and children, there are hidden reasons for loving. All our love is tainted, destroyed by jealousy and possessiveness.

With meditation, for the first time you will understand what it means to love for no reason. For the first time, you will not be giving in order to receive. You give love simply because you have so much to give! You shower love upon the world in the same way that a raincloud showers upon the earth, or a flower spreads its fragrance all around.

You love because you can’t help it!
