Issue nº 197 : The Measure of Love

from: http://www.warriorofthelight.com/

“I have always wanted to know if I was able to love like you do,” said the disciple of a Hindu master.

“There is nothing beyond love,” answered the master. “It’s love that keeps the world going round and the stars hanging in the sky.”

“I know all that. But how can I know if my love is great enough?”

“Try to find out if you abandon yourself to love or if you flee from your emotions. But don’t ask questions like that because love is neither great nor small. You can’t measure a feeling like you

measure a road: if you act like that you will see only your reflection, like the moon in a lake, but you won’t be following your path.”
