Words of Spiritual
Teachers:
A
word used to describe a specialness of feeling, a demonstrable affection for a
person or idea. Unfortunately, man rarely understands the pure, undiluted
essence of “love as harmony” or “love as concern for the whole”.
(Meredith
Young).
Love
is not sentiment. To be sentimental, to be emotional, is not love, because
sentimentality and emotions are mere sensations, a form of self-expansion. To
be full of emotion is obviously not love, because a sentimental person can be
cruel when his sentiments are not responded to, when his feelings have no
outlet. An emotional person can be stirred to hatred, to war, to butchery.
(J.
Krishnamurti).
You
must learn to love everything and everyone without distinction or
discrimination. The highest kind of love of all is the perfectly impartial
love. Then you will be love itself and you can only act in love, you will only
need to radiate yourself, to be yourself, and the whole universe will be able
to draw from your warmth, from your light, and from your strength.
(Elizabeth
Haich).
It
is love alone that can solve our human problems. It is only when we know how to
love each other that there can be cooperation, that there can be intelligent
functioning, a coming together over any question. Where there is action of the
self there is no love, it is a self-conscious activity of the “me” which hopes
through loving to gain a result.
(J.
Krishnamurti).
Love
does not seek to hold, but to give.
(Dorothy
McClean).
Love
is pursuit of the whole.
(Rick
Fields).
When
you love someone, when you know they’re ready to learn and grow, you set them
free. How could you learn, how could you feel your experiences if you knew I
was there, a shield between you and your choices.
(Richard
Bach).
A
loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile
world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.
(Ken
Keyes Jr.)
Limitless
love and truth is always transmitting to and through us, if we can awaken to
it.
(David
Spangler).
Only
my sincere wish that you continue following what speaks within you, that you
take your own time and your own way and that you never feel the need to even
notice my blessing, because a blessing can have no price. Just my recognition
that you are free, because that is what love is.
(Hugh
Prather).
One
cannot create love in a fragmentary way, though one can create desire. One can
realize the oneness we all share, and this realization itself is the vision of
love that will reflect itself though our actions.
(David
Spangler).
Fear
is the condition of mind that accompanies a deep disbelief in love.
(Hugh
Prather).
The
human emotional spectrum can be broken down into two basic elements: Love and
Fear.
The
highest frequency current, the highest energy current is love. It produces
buoyancy, radiance, lightness and joy.
(Gary
Zukav).
Intensities
of joy and grief produce the same “heartbreak” feeling which is expressed in weeping.
To fall deeply in love is to enter a state where delight and anguish are at
times so interwoven as to be indistinguishable. But the context of the feeling
changes its interpretation, depending on whether the circumstances which arouse
it are for us or against us.
(Alan
Watts).
To
love is to free all you see from how you remember it. See it now. Now and love
are the same.
(Hugh
Prather).
Action
guided by a sense of inadequacy will express the emptiness from which it springs
rather than fullness, hunger rather than strength. Thus, when our love for
others is based simply on mutual need it becomes strangling.
(Alan
Watts).
Love
is total absence of fear of love.
(Anthony
de Mello).
People
who are conscious on this planet do not possess anybody; they feel themselves
one with the infinite all.
(Elizabeth
Haich).
All
actions are based on an idea or previous experience, shaping actions. An action
without ideation is real love.
(J.
Krishnamurti).
