π WHAT IS TRUE LOVE? π
Most worldly relationships are based on expectations.
π¨βπ©βπ§ Love between family members...
π Love between husband and wife...
π€ Love between relatives and friends...
Often, these relationships involve some degree of self-interest.
But Divine Love is different.
β¨ It gives, but does not seek to receive.
β¨ It knows no fear.
β¨ It loves for the sake of love itself.
This is Bhakti (Devotion).
This is Prapatti (Complete Surrender).
πΊ The greatest test of true love comes during life's challenges.
When difficulties arise:
β Do not give way to anger.
β Do not nurture hatred.
β Do not seek revenge.
β Do not fall into despair.
Instead...
β
Practice patience.
β
Cultivate forgiveness.
β
Develop forbearance.
β
Remain steadfast in love.
A heart filled with forgiveness becomes a temple of Divine Love.
Remember:
π You are embodiments of strength, not weakness.
π Your true nature is love, tolerance, and compassion.
β Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Divine Discourse, January 1, 1994
