There is no God other than love. If you do not love other human beings That means you do not love God. — From the discourses of Sathya Sai Baba LESSONS FROM GOD - The Compassionate heart A farm labourer asked a Bhuddist monk to pray for his sick wife. The Monk began to pray, asking God to cure all those who were ill. ‘Just a moment,’ said the farm labourer. ‘I asked you to pray for my wife and there you are praying for everyone who’s ill.’ ‘I’m praying for her too.’ ‘Yes, but you’re praying for everyone. You might end up helping my neighbour, who’s also ill, and I don’t even like him.’ ‘You understand nothing about healing,’ said the monk, moving off. ‘By praying for everyone, I am adding my prayers to those of the millions of people who are also praying for their sick. ‘Added together, those voices reach God and benefit everyone. Separately, they lose their strength and go nowhere.’ EPILOGUE ; The voice of a compassionate loving heart reaches God quicker ! story by Paulo Coelho
