A re-post, but not a 'boomerang' - when I throw this one out to the world I do not wish its return, but rather that it be passed on... (originally published on Medium.)
"Let Love Blossom"
(HH Sw. Chinmayananda)
The quote says as much
as need be expressed, in many ways.
I put it to you, however, that there can never be enough said about
Kindness and the extension of Love with the capital 'ell' (my own little
by-line). That sunshine which warms the hearts of all who witness it cannot
fail to show on the face, as well as through the words and deeds of the
Lover.
If at all there is a universal currency of humanity, it is that Love.
The Love which has no boundaries, but respects all boundaries set. The Love
which knows only how to give and receive without expectation of recognition. It
is pure, untainted, egoless, without form, odour, colour. Its only property is
that it can be felt.
When we feel that Love, all imitators are obliterated. All small
loves become insignificant, just as candles held before the sun.
It is not a jealous love, a mean love, a love with conditions, a
love with expectations, a love with demands, a love with desires or lusts.
It is the Love which surpasses all understanding. Yet, in its
presence, we know it and understand it.
Wherever we are in this world, no matter our culture, this Love
resides. All we have to do is open our hearts, turn ourselves toward that
'sunlight', and blossom.
What a beautiful quote for Mother's Day (here in the US)
