LOVE is the only solution, the only true religion ! Amma replies that Her religion is Love when asked what her religion is. Also, it seems to me that Love is what Christ, Buddha, Krishna and many saints lived and taught; they did not directly create Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc, the followers did.
However, what we see in the world is selfishness leading to what it seems the whole world is bent on a suicide mission with thousands of harmful chemicals, processed foods, wars, mindless technological ambitions, careless use of Mother Earth's resources, "health care" for profit, hypocrisy, everything for profit The following is my attempt at understanding Love from my own experiences, from Amma and others in view of what is happening in the world. Bear in mind that this is merely my POV at this time and I believe that each one of us( 7 billion ) has a unique POV sort of like no two snowflakes are alike; on the other hand, there is commonality in what is called the universal eternal spiritual principles which I want to focus on here: it is said that "there is nothing but God and that God is Love" and that LOVE is what we really are LOVE is our essential nature, our real identity if this is not our experience, at least some glimpses here and there, there must be something blocking that it is the mind that either can be used as a tool to search for TRUTH which is LOVE or, the mind can be misused to veil and block LOVE This happens when the intellect has decided that it is capable of knowing TRUTH without LOVE which is not possible because LOVE is TRUTH it seems to me: LOVE is the highest truth; not facts, not science no matter how clever, no matter how scientific, no matter how clear and true intellectual knowledge seems to be, no matter what the "facts" seem to be, without LOVE, FEAR will be present FEAR veils LOVE and blocks LOVE from flowing without a firm resting in the heart, it is simply the nature of mind-intellect-ego, as a continuous stream of thoughts in the head, to create more and more knowledge, perhaps with the best of intellectual intentions, until complexity, confusion, and all sort of frustrating problems arise; then the intellect is engaged in trying to solve the problems which it helped to create in the first place; meanwhile many catch 22 situations arise and intellectual/scientific solutions are never enough; as is obvious from world events, all this seems to be heading in the direction of self-destruction you are indeed fortunate if your mind gets exhausted, takes a break, leaves the head, and rests in the peacefulness of your heart where there are no thoughts; then perhaps it will dawn on you that "Love" is the only solution for all the problems that the mind has created Amma says "A one word solution to all the problems the world is facing today is Compassion [Love ]." Even Einstein said that the rational mind is a terrible master, but can be very useful as a servant [of Love]. The mind is very powerful, it creates the world as I understand it, it is Maya and needs to be used with the greatest of create in service to Love here, we are talking about Unconditioned Love which we call God and about Unconditioned Truth which we also call God or we can call it "peaceful spacious loving awareness" we are not talking about emotionalism, although positive emotions do have their own proper functionality, God's Love is Presence and Energy or as Robert Adams said "the current that knows the way" Amma says God will take care of us when ego is surrendered also Jesus and all mahatmas say that there is a universal force of Love that will sustain us and function through us to the extent we allow it by getting our egos out of the way in order for the heart to open so that real unconditioned love may be experienced, it may be necessary to do some selfless-service, take care of a relative or friend, help a homeless person, feel the suffering of the world, pray, meditate on the heart center, read some or many spiritual books, contemplate spiritual aphorisms, go for a walk and gaze at the sky, gaze at the stars, go within, rest in the peacefulness of the heart, and do some self-inquiry such as ~ What is love? What is truth? What is God? What am I? What is permanent? What is temporary? Who am I? Who is Amma? To jumpstart your spiritual quest or to enhance it significantly, getting a hug from Amma can be a very pleasant unimagined surprise. Amma is currently touring America and will end in Canada on July 22nd http://amma.org/tours/amma-tours/n_america.html <http://amma.org/tours/amma-tours/n_america.html> Here is a short video by our friend Stuart explaining Love beautifully in English http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFFkACy0tcg <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFFkACy0tcg> "let everyone be right because they are what can you do?... everyone's POV is the right one underneath it all, is only Love the Love, it cures all the Love goes on it can't end all of us, we are all Love underneath Love is the real thing what can you do?
