Love is Devotion

 ( For my friend, Tintu and family)

“Love is the source and the sustenance of all beings. Love is a fire; its glow is devotion , its flame is wisdom, its smoke is attachment and its ashes, detachment. The flame of love illuminates the devotee’s path in life, banishing all darkness.” Hazrat Inayat Khan.

“ My sole occupation is love. There is nothing better or more necessary than love.” John of the Cross (Spiritual Canticle of the Soul and the Bridegroom, 1586)


All the scriptures say : God is Love.
To reach God you must first learn to be Love.

Love is selfless and unconditional. 
It sees no differences, being that unity where no duality can exist.

It is a natural outpouring of nectar from a heart that blossoms in surrender to the Divine.

To surrender to the Divine is to merge in the Divine, like a drop falling into an ocean.

If you would be immortal, let go of your drop-hood.

This is ultimate love and devotion.

Thus will you be one with  the infinite, aware ocean of fulfilment and peace.

“That which is consciousness alone, which is all-pervading, which is eternal, which is all-full, which is of the form of bliss and which is indestructible, is the only true Brahman .” – Varaha Upanishad
