Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Observe the world, trust your inner vision, allow things to come and go, your heart will be as open as the sky.
If we are in competition, we want our opponents to be at their best. It’s not that you don’t want to compete, but do it in the spirit of play. In this way you are like a child at play, in harmony with life.
Whether we experience what happens to us as an obstacle and enemy or a teacher and friend depends entirely on our perception of reality. It really depends on our relationship with ourselves.
Really communicating from the heart and being there for someone else means not shutting down on the person, but first of all, not shutting down on ourselves.
Do not shut anyone out of our hearts and don’t make the other into an enemy. When we open our hearts, we can’t make things completely right or completely wrong anymore.
When you have no enemy, you will always be victorious. Never underestimate your enemy, underestimating your enemy is thinking that he is evil, thus you become an enemy yourself. Victory will always go to the one that knows how to yield.
The pursuit of love and compassion is not without pain and confusion, but we must try.
Can we act like every other species seeking no reward, taking no pride, guiding without enslaving? Can our reasoning mind be purged of coercion allowing our heart unfettered joy? Can you love people without imposing your will?
Explore the reality and unpredictability of insecurity and pain, try not to push it away. When we do this, we will find many others that are also awakening from fear, once we discover this, we will know that love does not die.
What world do you want to build for yourself? For now, this is what you can do: serenity in the storm. Calm down and pray. Everyday. Establish a routine to meet the sacred every day. Good things emanate, what you emanate now is the most important thing. And sing, dance, resist through art, joy, faith and love.
