Friendliness &  Friendship

Economic Times in The Speaking Tree | Spirituality | ET

By Gurudevshri Rakeshbhai

To attain the Divine, it is essential to dive into the depths of love. Only those who can soften their hearts and allow themselves to flow towards the world, in the form of friendliness and compassion, are truly religious.

The Divine is revealed only to those who are ready to extend and flow with compassion and friendliness. What you understand as love is conditional love. If your heart is filled with love for only one person, naturally, there is no love for the rest of the world. Then that love is surely selfish, conditional and sullied with expectations.

The love that has no selfish motive is unconditional and has no expectations in it. The love that stagnates starts accumulating the dirt of negativities. The love that stops flowing, the love that gets trapped in one, starts smelling of possessiveness and expectations. The love that flows is fresh, alive and fragrant. The love that is static becomes stale and dies. The love that streams forth keeps increasing. The more it flows, the more it deepens and extends to others.

The depth of love is measured by its extensiveness. They go hand in hand. The love that is not bound to one, and flows towards all becomes friendliness. Such love has non-attachment, humbleness, open-mindedness and no reservations.

Love is formless; friendliness has a form. Love is an experience; friendliness is an expression. Love is unmanifest; friendliness is its manifest form. Love is a poem in a poet’s heart, friendliness is the recitation of the poem on the lips. Thus, love in action is friendliness.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vednata

If the parliament of Religion has shown anything to the world it is this. It has proved  to the world that holiness purity, and charity are no the exclusive possession of any church in the world and that every system has produced man and women of the most exalted character. In the face of the evidence , if anybody dreams the destructions of the others. I pity him form the bottom of my heart, and point out to him that upon of my heart and point out to him that upon the banner of every religion will soon be written in spite of resistance “ Help and not Fight” Assimilation and not Destruction” “Harmony  and peace and not Dissension”

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
