The Perfection of Love

Posted by Saci Gaurasundara Dasa on December 9, 2010 at 8:37am
Everyone wants love. In fact we are all starving for love. The difficulty is that we are more interested in getting love than we are in giving love. But this does not work because love is selfless. It is not selfish. True love can only be experienced to the extent that we give love to everyone without any thought of return. This is called pure, unmotivated love. The perfection of love is thus when we can totally and genuinely serve all other living beings.

But how to achieve this state? How can I give all of my love to one living being when at same time I am supposed to give all of my love to all other living beings as well? The answer is quite simple. Just as by watering the root of a tree all the leaves and branches are nourished, by giving all of my love to the Supreme Person, who is the root cause of all existence, my love is then perfectly distributed to all living beings whoever they may be and wherever they may throughout the vast total existence.
