What is Love?

Aum Sairam

When mystics use the word love, they use it very carefully in the deeply spiritual sense, and where to love is to know; to love is to act.
If you really love, from the depths of your Consciousness, that love gives you a native wisdom. You perceive the needs of others
intuitively and clearly, with detachment from any personal desires; and you know how to act creatively to meet those needs, dexterously surmounting any obstacle that comes in the way.

Such is the immense, driving power of love.

Therefore, when I say that 'I love', it is not I who love, but in reality Love who acts through me. Love is not so much something I do as something that I am. Love is not a doing but a state of being – a relatedness, a connectedness to another mortal, an identification with her or him that simply flows within me and through me, independent of my intentions or my efforts.

When you are aware that you are the force that is Life, anything is possible. Miracles happen all the time, because those miracles are performed by the heart. The heart is in direct communion with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes; your heart opens another heart, and true love is possible.
