Universal Love

If you judge people, you have no time to love them

- Mother Teresa

When we see oneself in all and all in oneself we are ready to selflessly love ourselves and all of God's creation. While this is an absolute truth can this be followed in our daily dealings with all that we come across? Our total education and conditioning is to look externally and be judgemental all the time. This leads to all kinds of expectations and desires. When these desires are unfulfilled or someone does not behave in a manner we percieve as correct we tend to react. The reaction ranges from being merely sad to extreme anger and violence in thought word and deed. While the ability to rise in universal love is seen in the Self realised souls like Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa can we too gradually bring about this transformation? I beleive the answer is yes and even if the task is daunting and seemingly unsurmountable it needs to be done. Bit by bit we can tranform ourselves to become non-judgemental at all times and give our love to all of God's creation at all times.
The realisation that we need to make this transformation is the first step in the process of looking within and connecting with the Universe or the Brahmana which is within all of us. Each of us need the tools to look within and for that we need the help of scriptures teachers and the ability to awaken and listen to our conscience. In life and in our relationships we come across three kinds of persons. First, are the masters and Self realised souls for whom we have only reverence and humble respect. We must accept them unconditionally and try and benefit from their wisdom. The second category is of the destitute and poor who need our compassion and care. The third are the persons who try to harm us by their thoughts words and actions. For this category we need to understand that the only way to deal with them initially is by ignoring them and getting out of harms way. Gradually, we need to stop hating and return love for their hatred. This will slowly but surely bring about a change of heart in those who seem to hate us and make them love us. This is not utopian but the law of Love is Universal. This is not the tabloid page three love where one falls in love and falls out of love but a Love in which one only rises and make each of us realise the Self within us. Slowly but surely as we begin this transformation we will be able to see the divinity in all the Creation living and non-living and make us consious of the need to preserve and protect the Earth and its elements and in turn the Universe. "Aham Brahmana" is not a mere sentence to be uttered in moments of solitude but to be lived and experienced by our thoughts words and deeds at all times.
Practically I try to follow the eight fold path to help realise the Self. This is from Eknath Easwaran the author of Bhagwat Gita for daily living.
* Meditate look within.
* Chant a mantra when you tend to lose equanimity.
* Concentrate on the task at hand totally.
* Slow down the pace of your life.
* Control your senses and live a life of moderation.
* Put others before oneself and live for others.
* Read the scriptures.
* Associate with persons who share in the wisdom of scriptural readings (Satsang).
I conclude my thoughts and pray that the Lord gives me the strength to live upto these ideals.
Humbly,
Dr. Vispi H. Jokhi
