Joshua Bell-O Mio Babbino Caro
And for tomorrow night as well.
As a matter of fact,
I know no better topic
For us to discuss
Until we all die!
Hafiz
Constantly remind yourself, "I am a member of the whole body
of conscious things." If you think of yourself as a mere "part,"
then love for mankind will not well up in your heart; you will look
for some reward in every act of kindness and miss the boon
which the act itself is offering. Then all your work will be seen
as a mere duty and not as the very porthole connecting you with
the Universe itself.
Marcus Aurelius
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and
persevering courtship.
Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is
created in a moment,it will not be created for years or even generations.
Kahlil Gibran
Richard Johnson Painting
True love means the fight has disappeared, the two have become one.
Their bodies exist separately but their being has mingled.
The boundaries are lost, there is no division. There is no ‘I’ and no ‘thou’,
no one exists.
Love is like a spring that never stops flowing.
My message of love is not the message of that love which is the polar
opposite of hate. My message of love is of that love which is capable
of absorbing hate and transforming it.
Osho
If you love, love with awareness. If I was going to teach you I would not
tell you whom to love, how to love. That is all nonsense. Love is your
intrinsic quality. You are born with it, just as hate is also there.
I will teach you, be aware. Before anything happens to you — love or hate,
anger, passion, compassion, anything — be aware. Let everything arise
out of your awareness.
Osho
Love is food: food for the soul. When a child sucks at his
mother’s breast for the first time, he is sucking two things,
not only milk — milk is going into his body and love is going
into his soul. Love is invisible, just as soul is invisible; milk
is visible just as body is visible. If you have eyes to see, you
can see two things together dripping into the child’s being
from the mother’s breast. Milk is just the visible part of love;
love is the invisible part of milk — the warmth, the love,
the compassion, the blessing.
Osho
The higher you reach, the more unburdened you need to be.
So a miser cannot soar high. A miser cannot soar in love,
or in prayer, or in God. He remains clinging to the earth, he
almost remains rooted in the earth. Trees cannot fly. If you
want to fly, you need to be uprooted. You need to be like
a white cloud, with no roots anywhere — a wanderer.
Osho
When you arrive at this spring, do not rush to drink from it.
Stop and rest a while, recover from the long road you have
traveled and then catch the water into your hands
like in a cup and bring it to your lips, slowly,
do not be afraid that the water will ever dry up.
The spring of love is inexhaustible.
So drink the water of love without haste
and with grateful recognition.
Each of the persons who love you is a spring from
which you draw,
so be careful and do not make this spring cloudy.

LOVE
If you develop love truly great,
Love is the divine Mother's arms; when those arms are spread, every
soul falls into them.
Gurulugomi
rid of the desire to hold and possess.
That strong, clean love untarnished by lust,
that love which does not expect to be repayed,
that love which is firm but not grasping,
enduring but not tied down,
gentle and settled,
diamond-hard but unhurting,
helpful but not interfering,
cool and refreshing,
giving more than taking,
dignified but not proud,
soft but not weak,
that love which leads to Enlightenment,
then you will be washed of all ill-will.
Hughes Merle Art
He met everyone on his own plane, spoke to everyone in his
own language. What did Jesus teach when he said to the fishermen,
'Come hither, I will make you fishers of men?' It did not mean, 'I will
teach you ways by which you get the best of man.' It only meant: your
tact, your sympathy will spread its arms before every soul who comes,
as mother's arms are spread out for her little ones.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
