School of Love

Never are uncommon, these endless lessons of love

Of how to catch a man, how to keep a woman’s love

Or how to use God and His universe To fulfil 
​​

one’s desires diverse.


But wise people say just rise above

Life is nothing but a school of love

You get everything that you deserve

Just unlearn to use, 
 ​and learn to love..
 

As water cannot fill

The tank of your car when empty

Wealth, prestige and power in plenty

Do not serve our actual purpose and identity.

We are not just hungry, but starving for love

Source of which is high up above

When He is satisfied, our soul is full of verve..

 

As a spiritual warrior, remember we must

Our greatest ally is love, worst enemy is lust

If concept of love, above body, hasn’t risen

Then school of love has changed into a prison

This game of pretending and playing God must be over

We are made for love and He is our greatest lover

 

Dissatisfaction is a missed opportunity to love

Depression is lack of sending out enough love.

Lets interpret the harsh words in a loving way

And be grateful for negativity coming our way

Let love and faith in God drive us through the day

A true spiritual warrior remembers God in this way.

 

Our reluctance to surrender, must be turned into abidance

We prepare through our worldly dealings, this is a perfect chance

Before we enter into the world of divine, eternal romance.

 

As our prayers and chanting become deeper and deeper

The music of love becomes sweeter and sweeter..

Holding us together, this love is a cosmic glue

Its storehouse is Supreme Lord, cannot be me and you.



In those imperfect bondings where God has no connection

Love is not a valuable diamond, but a cut glass in possession.

That which flows through God, is love 
unconditional


It transcends mind and body, it is soul’s betrothal.


I become yours, you become His messenger mine,

We remind each other of Him, this is relationship divine.

 

More you know of Him, more you ll understand

In order to love and serve, an ear you need to lend

Not just to anyone, but to His dear friend.

Messengers of His love are truly godsend                                

In
​ this​
 school of love, the lessons never end.
