Love – The Richness of Life



                   Life is so rich and has many treasures.

                   We go to it with empty hearts;
                   We do not know how to fill our hearts with the abundance of life.

                   We are poor inwardly and when the riches are offered to us, we refuse.

                   Love is a dangerous thing;
                   It brings the only revolution that gives complete happiness.

                   So few of us are capable of love, so few want love.

                   We love on our own terms,
                   Making of love a marketable thing.
                   We have the market mentality
                   And love is not marketable, a give-and-take affair.
                   It is a state of being in which all our problems are resolved.

                   To love is to be aware of eternity.

                   The world is a good place.
                   We do everything to get away from it
                   Through worship, prayer, our loves and fears.

                   We don’t know whether we are rich or poor,
                   We have never gone deep down into ourselves
                   And discovered “What is”.

                   We exist on the surface, satisfied with so little things
                   And made happy and unhappy by such small things.

                   Our petty minds have petty problems and petty answers,
                   And so we spend our days.

                   We don’t love and when we do it is always
                   With fear and frustration, with sorrow and longing.
