Then he will be closer to the deep under-standing of life and of that great Love, which operates in the world; he will draw closer to the causes and possibilities, which have created this world; to the causes and possibilities, which unite people; and finally, to the causes and possibilities which force the great Masters to come into the world to work. Then you will understand what it means to love each other and to love God. You do not understand these things, yet. An inner fear disturbs your understanding today. You say that one may love, but there must be limits to this love. It is true that there are limits to love, as there is a limit to eating. The stomach has limits, that's why love has limits. Love has limits, because the heart has limits. One must keep sacredly the limits of Love.
In the state you are at present, you have no right to touch the one you love. This is a law! If you do not keep what you love, you do not love it. This is the first rule you have to keep in Love. Actually, we do not let dust fall on the one we love. This characterizes Love physically. If you let all the dust fall on the one you love, and you speak of Love, this is not Love at all. This is the truth about Love and if you do not observe this rule in Love, you are saying empty words, words which are paper money, threatened to lose its value at any moment. Therefore, God judges us for this Love. He has put us to a test in this world. Do not think that your love is too small, or that you have no love at all, but I say that your love is of such a small scale compared to the great Divine Love, that when you come in contact with the greater demands of life, it will not withstand. The Divine Love I am talking about, is great and powerful. You cannot oppose a man who has in himself this great Love. He is so supple, so plastic, that no matter where you put him, he will find the smallest hole through which he can come out. |
