LOVE IS ....

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).
