Sunday Bulletin
We try to rationalize our thinking and being. But in love abides all knowledge. Ultimately, we are guided from the heart.
It is true that passion often drives our actions but passion is difficult to master. Love, however, is a concentration that gives mastery. When the heart is filled with love, it can be discerned in our thought, speech and action. Every expression shows beauty, tenderness and delicacy.
“I want to take the whole world in the embrace of my love.”
—Mahatma Gandhi
”Love alone gives us the strength to endure all the sufferings of life.”
—Swami Premananda, The Magnetic Power of Love
“We want to see in every heart, the needle of the compass that turns to one and the same Being.”
—Hazrat Inayat Khan
”Value the sacredness of love above all. Believe in its power to transform, protect and guide you. Give up the idea that your innermost self is separate from others. In our struggles and sorrows as well as in our joyous attainments we are one on the path of life. There is great freedom, peace and blessedness in being able to ‘love thy neighbor as thyself.’ The world becomes our kin through kindness.”
—Swami Kamalananda, Reflections on Still Waters
