Love - must embrace all creatures

11/30/2010

Most humans have such limited notions of love that the moment a man and woman meet they forget the whole world; nothing else exists for them. They are not yet used to living love in a broader way, and they impoverish it, mutilate it. It is no longer divine love, the love that pours forth and showers all beings. True love is a love that embraces all creatures without limiting itself, without putting down roots next to any one. This is why men and women should now be taught to have broader concepts, to be less possessive and jealous: the husband must be delighted to see his wife open her heart to the whole world, and the wife also must be happy that her husband is so bighearted. It doesn't stop them from staying faithful to each other. When two truly evolved people marry, right from the beginning they allow each other this mutual freedom. Each delights in being able to love all creatures with the greatest purity. The wife understands her husband, the husband his wife, and they both rise, walking together toward heaven, for they live the true, boundless life.
