Greetings Sadhakas,
This week in class we are exploring becoming
more literate in Love.
Love seeks no
cause beyond itself and no fruit; it is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I
love because I love; I love in order that I may love.
– Saint Bernard
It takes a good
deal of experience of life to see why some relationships last and others do
not. But we do not have to wait for a crisis to get an idea of the future of a
particular relationship. Our behavior in little everyday incidents tells us a
great deal.
We only need to ask
ourselves, "Am I ready to put the other person first?" If the answer
is yes, that relationship is likely to grow deeper and more rewarding with the
passage of time, whatever problems may come. If the answer is no, that
relationship may not be able to withstand the testing that life is bound to
bring.
Relationships break
down, not because we are bad, but because we are illiterate in love.
Words to Live By:
Inspiration for Every Day – Eknath Easwaran
The homework is to work to become more literate in
Love. Work on
cultivating unconditional love. Start by
putting others needs before your own without any thought of getting something
in return. Try to extend this love to
those closest to you first and move out from there.
Blessings,
paul cheek
