The Heart of a Lover

It is quite easy for one human being to love another if he sees the divine in the otherperson. It is always advisable to go to the root, which is God. If we want to lovesomeone, the best thing is for us to love the One who is all Love. If we know how to loveHim in Himself, then it becomes extremely easy to love Him in a human being.

When you see that a persons defects and bad qualities are obvious, try to feel thatthey do not represent him totally. His real self is infinitely better than what you see now.Try to see the divine in others in spite of their limitations.

By seeing someones limitations, we do not help the other person in any way. Weonly delay our own progress. If we find fault with somebody, his undivine qualities arenot going to disappear, nor are ours going to decrease. On the contrary, his undivinequalities will come to the fore in his defense, and our pride, arrogance, and feeling ofsuperiority will also come to the fore. But by seeing the divine in someone, we expediteour progress and help the other person to establish his own life of reality on a divinefoundation. We have to see others with the heart of a lover and not with the eye of a

critic.To see the divine in others, we have to love. It is truly said that where love is thick,

faults are thin. If you really love someone, then it is difficult to find fault with him. Lovemeans oneness. A mother, in spite of knowing her childs countless limitations, does notstop loving him, because she has established her oneness with him. If there is imper-fection in the child, the mother claims this imperfection as her very own.

If you find it difficult to love the human in someone, then love the divine in him. Thedivine in him is God. God exists in that person just as God exists in you. To love God isextremely easy because God is divine and perfect. Each time you look at an individual, ifyou can consciously become aware of Gods existence in him, then you will not bedisturbed by his imperfections or limitations.

My Lord,

Do teach me only one thing:

How to love the worldThe way You love me.

Srce zaljubljenika

Jednom ljudskom biu je prilino lako da voli drugo ljudsko bie ako u njemu vidineto boansko. Uvek je preporuljivo da se ide do korena, a to je Bog. Ako elimo davolimo nekog, najbolje je da volimo Jednog koji je sav Ljubav. Ako znamo kako davolimo Njega u Njemu samom, onda nam postaje veoma lako da volimo Njega i u nekomljudskom biu.

Kad vidite da su mane i loe osobine neke osobe oigledne, pokuajte da osetite da jeone ne predstavljaju u potpunosti. Njeno pravo ja beskrajno je bolje od onoga to viditesada. Pokuajte da vidite boanstvenost u drugima uprkos njihovim ogranienjima.

Time to vidimo ogranienja neke osobe, mi joj ne pomaemo ni na koji nain. Mijedino odugovlaimo svoj sopstveni napredak. Ako nekom nalazimo mane, njegoveneboanske osobine nee se umanjiti. Naprotiv, njegove neboanske osobine e izbiti napovrinu da ga odbrane, a na ponos, arogancija i oseanje nadmonosti e takoe izbitina povrinu. Ali, time to vidimo ono boansko u nekoj osobi, mi ubrzavamo sopstveninapredak i pomaemo toj osobi da zasnuje svoj sopstveni ivot stvarnosti na boanskim

osnovama. Treba da vidimo druge srcem zaljubljenika, a ne okom kritiara.Da bi smo videli boansko u drugima, moramo da volimo. Zaista je reeno: kad je

ljubav velika, mane su male. Ako zaista volite nekog, onda vam je teko da mu naetemanu. Ljubav znai jedinstvo. Majka ne prestaje da voli dete, uprkos tome to znanjegova bezbrojna ogranienja, jer je uspostavila jedinstvo sa njim. Ako u detetu postojenesavrenosti, majka smatra njegove nesavrenosti svojim sopstvenim.

Ako vam je teko da volite ljudsko u nekome, onda volite boansko u njemu.Boansko u njemu je Bog. Bog postoji u toj osobi kao to postoji i u vama. Voleti Bogaje izuzetno lako, jer je Bog boanski i savren. Ako svaki put kad pogledate neku osobumoete da namerno postanete svesni Bojeg postojanja u njoj, onda vam nee smetatinjene nesavrenosti ili ogranienja.

Moj Gospode,Naui me samo jednoj svari:

Kako da volim svet

Onako kako Ti voli mene.
