Love, and Love, and yet again Love.

Excerpt

How are these doorways through which distractions enter to be closed? For the bhakta, through Love, and Love, and yet again Love; by driving everything from his thoughts but sympathy, compassion, and those ideas and emotions that, as it were, lead up to a perfectly impassioned Love—quixotic it may be—reckless, ridiculous to us in its fervour, but unconquerable and unrelenting.

✨ To meditate on today

According to the commentary on the Narada Bhakti Sutra, the bhakta, the one who loves God, closes the door to distractions through Love, again and again Love, keeping in his thoughts only sympathy, compassion and whatever makes an ardent, unconquerable love grow. Today, when your mind wanders, bring it back to a compassionate thought for someone, and let it become a simple act of kindness.
