power of love

Love 

I have learned
so much from God
That I can no longer call myself
a Christian, a Hindu, a
Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of itself with
me that I can no longer call myself
a man, a woman, an angel
or even pure soul.

Love has befriended me so completely
It has turned to ash
and freed me
of every concept and image
my mind has ever known.

– Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky in the book
The Gift: Poems by Hafiz the Great Sufi Master

Love is powerful medicine

 

'Abdu'l-Bahá on Love

Know thou of a certainty that Love is the secret of God's
holy Dispensation, the manifestation of the All-Merciful, the fountain of
spiritual outpourings. Love is heaven's kindly light, the Holy Spirit's eternal
breath that vivifieth the human soul. Love is the cause of God's revelation
unto man, the vital bond inherent, in accordance with the divine creation, in
the realities of things. Love is the one means that ensureth true felicity both
in this world and the next. Love is the light that guideth in darkness, the
living link that uniteth God with man, that assureth the progress of every
illumined soul. Love is the most great law that ruleth this mighty and heavenly
cycle, the unique power that bindeth together the diverse elements of this
material world, the supreme magnetic force that directeth the movements of the
spheres in the celestial realms. Love revealeth with unfailing and limitless
power the mysteries latent in the universe. Love is the spirit of life unto the
adorned body of mankind, the establisher of true civilization in this mortal
world, and the shedder of imperishable glory upon every high-aiming race and
nation.1

LOVE MEDITATIONS

Love
is our true essence. Love has no limitations of caste, religion, race, or
nationality. We are all beads strung together on the same thread of love. To awaken this unity--and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature--is the true goal of human life."

Amachi

Know that each block you encounter in life is your greatest catalyst to diving into a deeper experience of your most enlightened self. Every experience we have as human beings contains a doorway to this divine state. All that's needed is to look for the door, reach out for the golden handle and walk on through. There is nothing as easy and fulfilling as entering the sweet paradise that is within your very being. It's easiest to discover this warm fuzzy feeling inside when you are alone, in nature, quiet and looking within yourself for many hours. To arrive at this place means letting go of the busy productive hectic to-do list, and spend some quality time with you! Whatever is stopping you from making time for yourself is blocking you from experiencing a tremendous joy.
"Let them throw their curses. If inside, I am connected to what's true, my soul stays quiet and clear. Do you think God worries what people say? If a few ashes fall on a mirror, use them to polish it." ~Lalla 14th Century North Indian mystic

"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius." ~Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

“Love gives life to the lifeless. Love lights a flame in the heart that is cold. Love brings hope to the hopeless and gladdens the hearts of the sorrowful. In the world of existence there is indeed no
greater power than the power of love”

― Abdu'l-Bahá
