LOVE and THOUGHT

Namaste Dear Friends  ~
               This is taken from one of my favourite books  -  The Tibetan Art of Serenity
               by Christopher Hansard who is a practicing Tibetan Bon Medical Practitioner
               and is Director of Clinical Affairs at the Eden Medical Centre, London.

                                                  *~*   LOVE  and  THOUGHT   *~*

In the state of love your thoughts take on new power and influence, so it is important to be careful what you think.  See it this way, your thoughts manifest as words, your words turn to deeds, and often the deed becomes a habit that becomes attached to your character and personality.  If the thought, deed and habit is self-defeating or unskilful, then the energy of love within you becomes trapped and the spark of love is lost.  So be skilful with your thoughts and how you express them.  By this I mean be considerate, and let love permeate and flow through all that you do and say.   Let your thoughts, speech and actions be born out of love;  for yourself, love for that special person, and for all beings.

Love is the prime energy.  To have love constantly in your life, let yourself find courage in good thoughts, actions and deeds.  Love is not static, unmoving, it constantly reinvents itself, renewing itself, delighting in itw own energy.  When you can accept this into your consciousness, you will know that love is a gesture from your higher self.

To love is to be given a foretaste of rapture.  A rapture that lives, right now, inside you.  Face the rapture and gaze into its brilliance.

I would like to add here a quote from Paramahansa Yogananda's Healing Meditations  ~

    "  Step by step, we shall learn that all our ventures are futile until our mind is washed and cleansed
       and purified through the Meditation of Love  -  love which knows no hate, love which transcends
       all human imperfection, love which enkindles all the noble and lofty aspirations in our soul.
       It is through such love we overcome our human limitations and find true bliss and peace. "
