Love is the opposite of Fear

Swami Rama
There is a way to tell how much love you have for others. Sit down quietly and calmly examine your fears. The more fear you have, the less love you have.
If you have less fear, then you will have more fear.
If you have no fear, you are able to give complete love.
Your fear will tell you how much love you are capable of. So learn to live in love and not in fear. Always be cheerful, compassionate and giving. Let Providence work and trust that you will receive what you need.

If you do not know yourself, you can never know or understand others. So, if you want to learn about change or self-transformation, or if you want to understand how to make corrections in yourself, don't begin by trying to observe or correct others.

When you learn to give, when u understand that the real law of life is giving, and that the more you give, the more you receive, then u will know that love is giving sincerely, not expecting things from the other person all the time.

If you are selfless, ur outer individual shell will remain exactly the same but ur inner light will expand to universal consciousness
That individual flame of love will become a conflagration that will burn up the weed of ur selfishness.
Truth will automatically come to you if you learn how to love.

The day you understand that you have not come to this world merely to fulfill your own selfish desires, that will be a great day for you.
The word "service" in Sanskrit is seva, which also mean "to enjoy".
To serve others is not a process of merely helping others; you should actually enjoy the act. And the finest of all acts is to give without any strings or attachments.


Soul - Now I know why my car was spoilt. So I can't go to sathsang, so I can do the whole cd 6 sessions.
When I did my meditation, I really cried. I then accept my tears too.

Frankly, I wasn't keen on guru pooja cos I don't wan to cry anymore, don't want to go deeper within.

But the book Eat, Pray and Love asked me to continue and my friend also asked me to continue. Since I cannot go to Sathsang, I had time to go 6 session before kriya - abt 1 hour n 45 min in total that I was sitting cross leg but I was fine.

During my meditation, I was crying so much n at first judging myself but later told myself I love my tears too.

Yeah, once i overcome my fear of suffering, i learn to love my tears too.

But perhaps, tears are not suffering...amen
