Gurudev Shri Rakesh Bhai
To attain the Divine, it is essential to dive into the depths of love. Only those who can soften their hearts and allow themselves to flow towards the world, in the form of friendliness and compassion, are truly religious. The Divine is revealed only to those who are ready to extend and flow with compassion and friendliness. What you understand as love is conditional love. If your heart is filled with love for only one person, naturally, there is no love for the rest of the world. Then that love is surely selfish, conditional and sullied with expectations. The love that has no selfish motive is unconditional and has no expectations in it.
The love that stagnates starts accumulating the dirt of negativities. The love that stops flowing, the love that gets trapped in one, starts smelling of possessiveness and expectations. The love that flows is fresh, alive and fragrant. The love that is static becomes stale and dies. The love that streams forth keeps increasing. The more it flows, the more it deepens and extends to others.
The depth of love is measured by its extensiveness. They go hand in hand. The love that is not bound to one, and flows towards all becomes friendliness. Such love has non-attachment, humbleness, open-mindedness and no reservations.
Love is formless; friendliness has a form. Love is an experience; friendliness is an expression. Love is un-manifest; friendliness is its manifest form. Love is a poem in a poet’s heart, friendliness is the recitation of the poem on the lips. Thus, love inaction is friendliness.
