"If we thought of life as a gift, we might not demand nearly as much from it. And if we lived more graciously, giving of ourselves more freely to the well-being of others, many of our personal concerns would disappear, and life would become easier for all."

Posted by: Jimmy J. at April 12, 2014 7:44 PM"Q: Why is love selective?
M: Love is not selective, desire is selective. In love there are no strangers. When the centre of selfishness is no longer, all desires for pleasure and fear of pain cease; one is no longer interested in being happy; beyond happiness there is pure intensity, inexhaustible energy, the ecstasy of giving from a perennial source."
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, Q & A #98, from 'I AM THAT'
" Even after all this time...the sun never says to the earth - you owe me. Look what happens with a love like that, It lights up the whole sky."
Hafiz
