This is one of my favorite readings on the topic of Love. It is written by Swami Sivananda Maharaj, a modern saint from India (1887-1963). I return to this reading when I need inspiration, peace, or simply need to check into my heart and remember the majestic background that animates all of life. It is a medicine for the times we need to rekindle our connection to the Love that is inherent to our being, and this human birth. Enjoy.

Namaste.

I wanted to share with you one of my favorite readings that brings inspiration and clarity to my life in just a quick little read.

And it's written by one of my gurus,

Swami Sivananda Maharaj,

Who is a modern day saint and sage,

Born in 1887 and left his physical body in 1963.

Swami Sivananda was born in the southern state of India called Tamil Nadu and served as a medical doctor for many years,

Including in Malaysia,

Before following the inner call to deepen in his spiritual practices and deepen within himself,

Evolving his consciousness to an even higher frequency.

He settled in northern India at the foothills of the Himalayan mountain range and established an ashram called the Divine Life Society,

Which is still running and functioning today.

In one of the books called Bliss Divine,

Which is a collection of little essays that he wrote on various topics from A to Z,

And in this book is a chapter called Love.

So this reading is about love and I hope you feel as inspired as I do when I read it.

Love is the law of life.

To love is to fulfill the law.

And to fulfill the law means eternal bliss and everlasting happiness.

This world has come out of love.

It exists in love.

It finally dissolves in love.

Love is the motive power of the universe.

Love is life.

Love is joy.

Love is warmth.

Love is the golden tie which binds heart to heart,

Soul to soul.

To live is to love.

To love is to live.

You live that you may learn to love.

You love that you may learn to live in the eternal.

There is no virtue higher than love.

There is no treasure higher than love.

There is no knowledge higher than love.

There is no dharma higher than love.

There is no religion higher than love because love is truth.

Love is God.

God is an embodiment of love in every inch of his creation.

You can verily understand the love.

Live in love.

Breathe in love.

Sing in love.

Eat in love.

Drink in love.

Talk in love.

Pray in love.

Meditate in love.

Think in love.

Move in love.

Die in love.

Purify your thoughts,

Speech,

And action in the fire of love.

Bathe and plunge in the sacred ocean of love.

Take the honey of love and become an embodiment of love.

Feel that this body is a moving temple of God.

Feel that all beings are images of God.

Feel that this world is indwelt by the Lord.

Feel that the one power of God works through all hands,

Sees through all eyes,

Hears through all ears.

You will become a changed being.

You will enjoy the highest peace and bliss.

Swami Sivananda.

Om Shanti,

Shanti,

Shanti.

Om peace,

Peace,

Peace.

Om Balo Satguru Sivananda Maharaja Ki Chai.

Hare Om Tat Sat.

Namaste.
