QUALITIES OF THE DIVINE LOVE

 

We were out in the El-Shadai area in order to welcome the sunrise. After we had a cup of tea and performed Paneurhythmy, we climbed up and settled on a meadow near the road to the first shelter. It was covered in fresh grass and flowers, and a stream was flowing ahead of it. The mighty Rila range could be seen beyond, on which there was still quite a lot of snow. As we were sitting, a bird was singing on a branch, and the Master said:

 

The bird is telling us, "We are living here very well. How are you?"

 

The Master looked at the stream and said: This water here is an entire musical symphony. The Master pointed at some speedwell and forget-me-not sprigs, and said:

 

The blue colour functions soothingly; if you are worried and you look at blue flowers for some time, you calm down. And the yellow acts upon the mind.

 

An automobile passed by us on the road, and from its window somebody shouted, "Blissful is your life!" A conversation opened up, in which the Master said the following thoughts:

 

Love is a great manifestation of the Rational life. By the Love, it can be judged as to what degree a person is rational. You should always know that the Love is the greatest, most rational thing. Do not separate the Love from the rational. Always assume that whoever you love is rational. You cannot love what is not rational. When you come to love somebody, you will become blind to all of his infirmities, and in him, a desire to elevate will arise. Should these two processes be absent, the Love cannot manifest. In the Love there is gesture - when it gives, it gives generously. Love has a great task. It binds the wounds of man, and passes by. Once it comes to the negative things, it says, "You can live without me as well", and it is gone. Once it becomes lost, all the sufferings come along.

 

It is a law: first and foremost, you should begin with God, and then you will finish well with the people. If man loves the Lord, he will also love the people even more than they can even carry. The Love is Divine if a creature passes through the centre of another creature and vice versa. When a creature passes through the Divine, it connects with the Great Reality, which lives within the other creature; The Love is Divine. When a creature does not pass through the centre of another creature; in this case, the Love is weaker. When a creature covers the other one, this is appropriation. Your love towards someone has to give you and the one loved by you an impulse for work in Life and mutual aid. If the love is real, you will grow as souls. The rivers merge into each other. The transfusion of the souls is an inner process. The rivers merge and shores transfuse. When the rivers do not merge, the shores do not transfuse either. Both processes go simultaneously, and that is exactly what exists in Nature among the creatures. The same thing happens between the man and the Lord, between a man and a man. In the merging, there is a transfusion of one soul to the other. This merging and transfusion can happen only between two souls, between which there is Love. The same thing is in our relations towards God. In time of prayer, Love towards God can be felt, in order for a merging and a transfusion to happen. That is why the basis of each prayer is the Love towards God. A saint, an advanced person experiences the Divine Love several times in his life, and then he has bliss, he feels the Lord in everything, and loves the Lord in everyone. All other states of the Love are Spiritual love, not Divine. Each saint is so in love, that because of the Love, he has forgotten the worldly things. He is so entranced with that, which he has seen, that he has forgotten how to dress up. His ideal is so high, that he has forgotten everything, and while he waits for letters from above, he will sometimes weep for that, which he has seen.

 

A brother said, "Master, recently, during a lecture, I felt a Divine presence, I felt the grandeur of the Love, about which You spoke, and I started to weep. In the lecture, You said that when man loves, the Spirit has visited him."

 

Christ says, "I am not from the other world, as you are not from this world." With this, Christ wants to say that one who loves is not from this world. He who loves with the Divine Love is from the devoted. People know about the elementary things, but they have yet to learn about what Love is. They speak in an ignorant tongue about the Love. They are like someone, who talks about art, and does not know how to paint. Those, who are interested in the spiritual sciences, often have a clear notion of things. Neither through a charity organization, nor through manifestations will the world mend. This only helps to a certain extent. What will mend the world is for people to become good instruments of the Divine Love. And that happens through preparation and through good life. It is required for you to be pure, good, and rational, to have faith, hope. In order to be a good instrument, you need to have the necessary qualities, so that you can cause good conductivity, and then the Supreme, the Rational will get into you. And you will learn things, which are never explained, but tried. For instance, you can talk about the sweetness of sugar to someone only if he has little experience in that. The conductivity of the man for Love is very important. If man has clouds inside his mental and sensual world, he cannot perceive the Divine wave of Love, which comes from above, but if his Heavens are clear, he will perceive it. There is nothing more beautiful than the Love. He, who regrets that he loves, deludes himself. If you renounce the love, you shorten your life. So in your garden of Love, cultivate all flowers, and plant new ones.

 

A brother asked, "Is there anything more perfect than the thought?"

 

There is nothing more perfect than the Love, but, in order to understand it on Earth, there needs to be thought. The thought is an environment, through which the Love is passed on. If he does not think, man cannot love. Outside the thought, Love is incomprehensible. We aspire to the Perfect love! That is what we seek! Love has to be in the subconsciousness, in the consciousness, in the self-consciousness, and in the superconsciousness. Let us display that Love which never runs dry.

 

I go to the flower to see what God has written in it. I go to a stone and do the same thing. In these books I read what God has written, and as I read from them, they read from me as well. In the Divine world, the living books enjoy it when they are being read. Now why do we grieve on Earth? Because the people pass by us without reading us. When we start reading what God has written in a living book, we love. For them to love us means to read what God has written in us. Doesn't the Writ say, "Written is the law of God in our hearts." Each person is a book, and when we love him, we are reading it, and when we do not love him, the book remains unintelligible.

 

A sister asked, "What does it mean when you say that man should not take a liking to this or that form?"

 

In the forms he encounters, man has to see the Divine, but he should not stop at them, but carry on. Man is a part, and God is the Whole. You shall take a liking not to the part, but to the Whole.

 

The ineffable love is the Real love.

 

The Master sang the words, "Oh, Ineffable love!"

 

This is God! He cannot be expressed. When you sing these words, you have to imagine the grandeur of the Lord, the kindness that pours out of Him, His mildness, that stillness inside Him, which forgives you, "It is all right".

 

Only the Ineffable love is Love of God!

 

When the Master said those words, many were left surprised, because so far, he would say, "Only the manifested Love of God is Love". The Master explained that thus:

 

Both sentences are correct. Yes, somebody loves you, he renders you service, and when he displays his love in this manner, this is a Divine Love. However, this matter has another, deeper, inner side - the experiences inside, which remain hidden, are the Divine, the Real. Should the Love manifest already, it is not Love. Now it cannot manifest in the physical world in its completeness, because here the matter is much rougher, but in the future it will be able to manifest here the way it does in the Divine world.

 

Happiness is in the apprehension of the Divine Love. In the Divine Love, man has love towards all creatures, and the great Joy that he experiences is the presence of the Lord, who loves the snakes, and the beasts, and the worms on an equal level with us. And there is no higher state than this.

 

They have spend billions above, in order to give us this nice day. No king is able to do that. What is the time, what is the temperature, how many people have signed up for this excursion?

 

It was 12 o'clock at noon. On the meadow by the Shelter, the temperature was 35 degrees. We were about 120 people.
