There are no translations available. This is what love demands from the lover and complete submission to the will of the beloved without any rhyme or reason. Love is just a one-way traffic so far as the lover is concerned. It knows no bargaining. All it connotes is implicit obedience. "Not my will, but thine," cries the true lover. A Persian poet has defined love thus: "What is love? It is to be a bondsman of the beloved. And to go wondering and offering one’s heart." Love then means to dedicate yourself – body and soul – to someone and to wander the earth over in his search. A real devotee dedicates his very life to the service of his Master and dissolves his will in that of His. It is a life of complete surrender with no mental reservations.55 Kirpal Singh Who is not perfect and positive cannot be a Conscious Co-worker of the Divine Plan. Only the perfection can make the heart perfect. Who maintains the perfect heart, perfection will follow him positively. Imperfect life is a revolt against submission. The submission makes everything stand still and thereafter one finds the life in stillness. * To generate the power and use the same in favour of mind is easy, whereas to generate the power to do beyond that level of the interference of mind and intellect is difficult. If one learns it from the life of the Gurmukh, the submission becomes very easy. Life comes from life and maintains the life. * Preparation is the wish of the Gurmukh, whereas the display is the wish of the Master. The submission of the Gurmukh credits the display unto his Master. |
